Remembering Our True Nature with Wendy & John Steward of Wild Tomorrow

If you're a nature lover, this one's for you. I'm joined by Wendy and John Steward, the co-founders of Wild Tomorrow, a nonprofit that protects and restores wildlife habitat for threatened species while building a more hopeful future for nature and people. After successful corporate careers (John as a creative director at leading New York advertising agencies, Wendy as a Director of FX Sales for international banks) they left traditional paths behind to devote themselves fully to wildlife conservation, founding Wild Tomorrow in 2015.In today’s conversation, we get into rewilding (both the inner and outer landscapes), how the window of tolerance relates to compassion, the nervous system and why the change we want to see outside us begins by expanding inward first.Books & resources mentionedLess Is More: How Degrowth Will Save the World — Jason HickelDominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy — Matthew ScullyZen and the Art of Saving the Planet — Thich Nhat HanhBeyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel — Carl SafinaWe Are Eating the Earth: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate — Michael GrunwaldLearn more about Wild Tomorrow here. Join us in London!
