Maya Zuckerman on System Shifts, Bridging Worlds, and Regenerative Leadership

Host Liz Sweigart first met Maya Zuckerman through the Holochain / Holo project before teaming up again on Visvere. In this episode of Past the Profile, Maya traces her journey from product and operations manager to ecosystem architect. She and Liz explore why culture hacking beats disruption, how regenerative principles can be embedded into technology from the start, and what it means to move from extraction to reciprocity in both business and community. Highlights From film to futures → how early work in digital media opened a path to regenerative tech and organizational design. Collective storytelling → why the stories we share become the scaffolding for movements and markets. Regenerative lens → embedding reciprocity, diversity, and resilience into systems instead of treating them as afterthoughts. Scaling trust → tools and governance that let communities grow without losing cohesion. Bridging disciplines → what Maya has learned moving between entertainment, tech, and grassroots movements.
