EP43: Eli Moraru - Rebuilding Food Access From The Ground Up
“Let’s stop doing the research and let’s actually execute on it and build something.”Food systems fail when they deliver calories without dignity, convenience, or nutrition. Real access means healthy food that fits people’s daily lives, budgets, culture, and time constraints. When communities lack nearby fresh options, preventable disease rises while local farmers struggle. Regenerative solutions work best when health care, agriculture, retail, and community trust are designed to support one another instead of operating in silos.Eli Moraru explains how those failures became the foundation for a new model in Philadelphia. After seeing families offered raw food boxes that were hard to use, he began building a neighborhood grocer where SNAP users can access healthy ingredients and legally exchange them for hot ready meals. Eli shares how financing barriers, policy gaps, and outdated assumptions were overcome by combining workforce training, health partnerships, and direct purchasing from regenerative farms.Eli is the Co-Founder and President of The Community Grocer, a nonprofit building neighborhood-based food systems that connect regenerative farmers, healthcare, and local access. An award-winning social entrepreneur focused on food justice and community-led change, Eli was named a Forbes 30 Under 30 Honoree and received the Penn President’s Sustainability Prize for his work redesigning how healthy food reaches underserved communities.https://www.thecommunitygrocer.org/Explore these valuable resources to further your journey in regenerative design:Discover more about Regenerative design at Paulownia Landscape Architects. https://www.paulownia-la.com/.Dive into the Twelve Laws of Nature and unlock the secrets of harmonizing with our planet at https://www.12lawsofnature.com/.Fulfill your garden aspirations with expert guidance from the Garden of Your Dreams masterclass at https://www.gardenofyourdreams.com/.Ready to take actionable steps towards your dream garden?

EP42: Robb Wolf – Cows Can Heal The Planet
“The industrial food system is really good at producing calories… it’s not great at producing nutritious food”Regenerative agriculture challenges the dominant narrative around food, climate, and land use by reframing farming as an ecological system rather than an industrial process. Instead of removing animals, this approach integrates them intentionally to rebuild soil, enhance biodiversity, and restore degraded landscapes. The conversation emphasizes that many environmental problems attributed to livestock are actually the result of poor management practices. Real solutions are context-specific, requiring local adaptation, ecological literacy, and a systems-thinking mindset that prioritizes long-term resilience over short-term efficiency.Robb Wolf shares how his journey from biochemistry into health and nutrition led him to question mainstream dietary and environmental assumptions. He explains that well-managed grazing systems can rehabilitate land and produce nutrient-dense food while highlighting the industrial food system’s strength in calories—but weakness in nutrition and ecological health. He also underscores the importance of adaptability in both individuals and systems.Robb is a former research biochemist, two-time New York Times bestselling author, and co-author of Sacred Cow. He is widely known for his work in evolutionary nutrition and for advocating regenerative agriculture as a solution to both human and planetary health challenges.Learn more & connect:Sacred Cow by Robb Wolf & Diana RodgersRevolutionary solutions to modern life: https://robbwolf.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/robb-wolf-008b996a/Also in this episode:Alan Savory TED TalkExplore these valuable resources to further your journey in regenerative design:Discover more about Regenerative design at Paulownia Landscape Architects. https://www.paulownia-la.com/.Dive into the Twelve Laws of Nature and unlock the secrets of harmonizing with our planet at https://www.12lawsofnature.com/.Fulfill your garden aspirations with expert guidance from the Garden of Your Dreams masterclass at https://www.gardenofyourdreams.com/.Ready to take actionable steps towards your dream garden?

EP41: Melissa Baer - The Future of Regenerative Food Brands
“And so the whole global food system is just set up to not see the good guys and not allow consumers to see the good guys.”Regenerative design thrives at the intersection of ecology and economics. It’s not just about restoring soil or ecosystems—it’s about creating systems that are financially viable, scalable, and rooted in long-term thinking. True regeneration requires aligning values with business models, ensuring that environmental restoration is supported by strong branding, communication, and market positioning.Melissa Baer shares how her journey from farming to entrepreneurship led her to focus on closing the gap between regenerative projects and the modern tools needed to grow them. She highlights the importance of storytelling, marketing, and technology in helping regenerative initiatives reach wider audiences and secure sustainable funding, emphasizing that many projects struggle not from lack of vision, but from lack of infrastructure.Melissa is the CEO of Backstory with 20 years of experience across food and tech. She was one of the first to sell organic meat online in Canada and now provides software development services to leading agriculture brands in New Zealand, advising top food and fiber companies on growth and innovation.https://www.backstorytech.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissabaerExplore these valuable resources to further your journey in regenerative design:Discover more about Regenerative design at Paulownia Landscape Architects. https://www.paulownia-la.com/.Dive into the Twelve Laws of Nature and unlock the secrets of harmonizing with our planet at https://www.12lawsofnature.com/.Fulfill your garden aspirations with expert guidance from the Garden of Your Dreams masterclass at https://www.gardenofyourdreams.com/.Ready to take actionable steps towards your dream garden?

EP40: Bill Reed - Beyond Sustainability: The Regenerative Shift
“We do not try to solve problems. Nature always works with potential.”Regeneration begins when we stop trying to fix isolated problems and instead learn to work with whole systems. Rather than focusing on outputs, metrics, or checklists, this approach asks a deeper question: what is the role of this project within the larger system of life? True regenerative work moves beyond sustainability by shifting attention from reducing harm to activating potential—aligning human activity with the inherent intelligence of nature. It requires embracing complexity, working with paradox, and recognizing that transformation happens through relationships, not control.Bill Reed explains how regenerative design integrates ecological, social, and economic systems into a unified whole. He shares how frameworks like the “law of three” help resolve conflict by moving beyond compromise into harmonization. Reed emphasizes that meaningful change comes not from convincing others, but from cultivating curiosity, aligning purpose, and building a shared field of care.Bill is a regenerative practitioner, architect, and systems thinker who helps define how modern design engages with living systems. As a principal at Regenesis, he's spent decades advancing Regenerative Development, an approach that integrates ecological, social, and human systems into a unified, living process. His work focuses on elevating the role of design beyond efficiency and sustainability, toward creating conditions that enhance the vitality and potential of entire communities and ecosystems.A co-founder of the LEED Green Building Rating System and founding board member of the U.S. Green Building Council, Bill has been at the forefront of the green building movement since its inception. He is also co-author of The Integrative Design Guide to Green Building, a foundational text that reshaped how practitioners approach sustainability through whole-systems thinking.Bill has consulted on hundreds of projects worldwide, from individual buildings to large-scale urban master plans, and is a sought-after keynote speaker and lecturer, with engagements at institutions including Harvard, MIT, Princeton, and the University of Pennsylvania.Learn more & connect:Regenesis Institute: https://www.regenerat.es/https://regenesisgroup.com/Explore these valuable resources to further your journey in regenerative design:Discover more about Regenerative design at Paulownia Landscape Architects. https://www.paulownia-la.com/.Dive into the Twelve Laws of Nature and unlock the secrets of harmonizing with our planet at https://www.12lawsofnature.com/.Fulfill your garden aspirations with expert guidance from the Garden of Your Dreams masterclass at https://www.gardenofyourdreams.com/.Ready to take actionable steps towards your dream garden?

EP39: Ankit Todi - The Business Case for Climate Action in Manufacturing, Energy, and Agriculture
“Changes can’t happen standalone by one company, it will require participation from peers, from supply chain partners, from government policy.”The world is beginning the conversation of moving towards a greener future. What part do major businesses play in these next steps? A renewable future cannot be created by one person; change takes place with the participation of many, whether that be lawyers and finance companies funding future projects, or the electrification of transportation vehicles becoming more widespread, it takes major conversations over the course of months or years to see these plans come into action.Ankit Todi of the Mahindra Group, shares his passions and exciting plans; this conversation walks through the major strides toward the future of green and renewable energy. Where action has already been taken and change already made, and what eliminating existing and future major emissions could mean not only for the Mahindra Group and other large scale businesses, but for the environment and our planet.Born in Dibrugarh, India- a city known for its tea gardens and rich green space, Ankit grew to love the nature surrounding him. With his background in engineering, leading him into management consulting, Ankit eventually ended up with the opportunity to implement his passion with professionalism, carrying through into his position as Chief Sustainability Officer, offering him the opportunity to create a major impact in the sustainability movement within the Mahindra Group and eventually implementing the Planet Positive strategy.https://www.mahindra.com/LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/ankit-todi-bb891a25/Explore these valuable resources to further your journey in regenerative design:Discover more about Regenerative design at Paulownia Landscape Architects. https://www.paulownia-la.com/.Dive into the Twelve Laws of Nature and unlock the secrets of harmonizing with our planet at https://www.12lawsofnature.com/.Fulfill your garden aspirations with expert guidance from the Garden of Your Dreams masterclass at https://www.gardenofyourdreams.com/.Ready to take actionable steps towards your dream garden?

EP38: Norie Huddle - The Butterfly Effect
“We won actually the first lawsuit, successful lawsuit in Ecuador and in the world defending the rights of nature.”Regeneration begins when humanity stops positioning itself above nature and instead recognizes itself as part of a living system. True regenerative design restores balance by aligning law, economics, and human values with the intelligence of the natural world. When nature is granted agency, ecosystems are no longer resources to be managed, but partners to be respected.Norie Huddle, author, lifelong activist, and pioneer of the global Rights of Nature movement, shares how rivers, forests, and land can hold legal standing—and how indigenous wisdom informed one of the world’s first successful court cases defending the rights of nature. The conversation weaves together regeneration, law, and activism, framing humanity’s current moment as a necessary transformation rather than collapse. The butterfly metaphor becomes a lens for understanding how small, aligned groups can catalyze systemic change.Norie has worked in environmental and peace movements since the 1960s and played a central role in the landmark Ecuadorian court case that legally recognized a river as a rights-bearing entity. Her work bridges spirituality, legal innovation, and regenerative systems thinking, offering a long-view perspective on how humanity can realign with the living world.Learn more & connect:Website: https://noriehuddle.earth/Book: Butterflyhttps://a.co/d/evvmCIdBook: How to Live a Life You LoveOrganization: Pachamama AllianceTEDx Talk: Search Nori Huddle TEDx – The Best Game on EarthExplore these valuable resources to further your journey in regenerative design:Discover more about Regenerative design at Paulownia Landscape Architects. https://www.paulownia-la.com/.Dive into the Twelve Laws of Nature and unlock the secrets of harmonizing with our planet at https://www.12lawsofnature.com/.Fulfill your garden aspirations with expert guidance from the Garden of Your Dreams masterclass at https://www.gardenofyourdreams.com/.Ready to take actionable steps towards your dream garden?

EP37: Leo Rivera - The Next Generation Perspective On Regenerative Design & The Future Of The Planet
“Today people are driven away from farming, gardening, and moving towards technology side, which is pretty much decreasing our earth.”A healthier future starts with choosing better inputs—better soil, better materials, and better habits. The episode explores how real regeneration comes from everyday decisions: rejecting cheap chemicals, composting what we consume, understanding where pollutants travel, and recognizing that the Earth is something we borrow, not something we own. It highlights the idea that restoring land begins with restoring our relationship to it, and practical steps like composting, planting, and avoiding glyphosates can dramatically improve soil, water, and long-term health.Leo Rivera shares how his generation views the planet and why the smallest actions matter most. Leo explains how harmful chemicals move through soil into waterways, why composting is one of the simplest regenerative tools we have, and how grounding, gardening, and time in nature help counter a world increasingly dominated by screens. He brings clarity to how better choices ripple outward into healthier ecosystems.Leo is a 10-year-old creator with a passion for gardening, soil health, regenerative thinking, and digital awareness. His curiosity, early environmental understanding, and desire to help others learn make him a powerful representative of the generation inheriting the planet.Learn more & connect:You can reach Leo at [email protected]://buybacktimeformula.com/Explore these valuable resources to further your journey in regenerative design:Discover more about Regenerative design at Paulownia Landscape Architects. https://www.paulownia-la.com/.Dive into the Twelve Laws of Nature and unlock the secrets of harmonizing with our planet at https://www.12lawsofnature.com/.Fulfill your garden aspirations with expert guidance from the Garden of Your Dreams masterclass at https://www.gardenofyourdreams.com/.Ready to take actionable steps towards your dream garden?

EP36: Shannon Coulter - Conscious Technology: Tools for a Regenerative Future
“Phones are designed like slot machines… It’s called variable rewards… and that’s the same exact way the scroll works on our phone… our brains become obsessed with the next dopamine hit.”Modern life trains the brain for instant rewards and endless scroll, eroding patience, attention, and real-world engagement. Replacing frictionless feeds with natural stopping cues—journaling on waking, moving the phone out of sight, stepping outside—rewires neural pathways toward delayed gratification, focus, and grounded wellbeing. Nature isn’t a luxury; it’s the antidote to stimulus overload and a gateway to more resilient habits.Shannon Coulter explains how our devices hijack dopamine through variable rewards and infinite scroll, keeping us chasing the next hit. Her antidote is simple and practical: small daily rituals that re-anchor attention in the real world. She calls it the “Swiss Army phone” approach—use one tool, close it, and move on. Shannon’s ideas invite parents to create a culture of curiosity and play, teaching kids that joy doesn’t come from pixels but from dirt, laughter, and connection.Shannon is a published author and creator of Planet FASSA—an ecosystem of stories, points-based offline activities, and parent tools that gamify real-world play. Her classes unpack dopamine science and practical steps families can use today.Learn more & connect:Find the following plus many more resources at Shannon’s website, https://sscoulter.com/.

EP35: Armando & Anita Ortega - The Future Of Regenerative Living
“You don’t require perfection to make a difference in the world. You just require passion.”Sustainability begins with the self, extends to relationships, and finally scales into business. When we approach design from this layered perspective, every choice becomes an opportunity to align with nature. Homes and communities are not just shelters—they can be built as living systems that protect health, conserve resources, and serve as legacies for generations to come.Armando and Anita Ortega share their vision of Zero Energy Developments, a company committed to creating net zero, healthy smart communities. From filtered water and regenerative gardens to resilient energy systems, their work challenges the status quo of housing. They explain how shifting focus from profit to purpose opens the door to innovation that heals both people and the planet.Armando and Anita have worked together for over three decades across ministry, business, and family life. Now, as co-founders of Zero Energy Developments, they are channeling their shared values into building America’s first net zero communities.Zero Energy Developments: www.zendevhomes.comEmails: [email protected] | [email protected] Box Homes: https://www.greenboxus.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SEGADORESDEVIDAExplore these valuable resources to further your journey in regenerative design:Discover more about Regenerative design at Paulownia Landscape Architects. https://www.paulownia-la.com/.Dive into the Twelve Laws of Nature and unlock the secrets of harmonizing with our planet at https://www.12lawsofnature.com/.Fulfill your garden aspirations with expert guidance from the Garden of Your Dreams masterclass at https://www.gardenofyourdreams.com/.Ready to take actionable steps towards your dream garden?

EP34: Peter Michel - Follow the Signs: How to Build a 1000 Year Legacy
“It’s very important that you be not only the change that you want to see in the world, but also finance that change that you want to see in the world.”Regenerative design requires more than short-term fixes—it calls for long visions that outlast any single generation. At the core of this episode is the principle that farming is not ownership but stewardship, where land, biodiversity, and community are passed forward in healthier, richer conditions.Peter Michel Heilmann shares his global journey through Africa, Europe, and beyond, where he witnessed both the harsh realities of inequality and the resilience of communities close to nature. He shares insights into creating a 1000 year vision for farms and land stewards to develop financing models like Earth Certificates showing how regenerative farming can move beyond debt and bureaucracy.Peter Michel Heilmann is one of the pioneers in sustainability, founder of WholistiQ, a former Managing Partner of Nordic Circular Hotspot, and co-founder of Global Compact Networks in Finland and Greece. He has authored seven books and today dedicates his work to helping farmers and land stewards craft thriving, future-proof farms, estates and communities.https://www.linkedin.com/in/pmheilmann/Follow Peter Michel's regenerative journey:https://followthesigns.earth/Explore these valuable resources to further your journey in regenerative design: Discover more about Regenerative design at Paulownia Landscape Architects. https://www.paulownia-la.com/.

EP33: Stéphane Doise - From Soil to Structure - Housing in Harmony with Nature
“If we remove the building… nature should be able to take over… instantly and thrive there.”Housing is one of the biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions—responsible for around 40% worldwide—and one of the most wasteful industries, generating 30% of global waste annually. In Canada, outdated zoning, urban sprawl, and material inefficiencies push costs sky-high while making homes less resilient to climate change.Stéphane Doise, founder of CORE (Climate Oriented Real Estate), is tackling these problems head-on. His approach: dismantlable, small-scale multi-unit buildings made from natural, low-toxicity materials; optimized for energy efficiency; and designed to relocate if land becomes unviable. By combining low-tech reliability with high performance, he reduces embodied carbon, operational costs, and waste—while improving community connection and climate resilience.Stéphane Doise is an architect, former firefighter, and urban infrastructure expert who has worked in Munich and Canada. With decades of hands-on experience in both public works and sustainable design, he now leads CORE to rethink housing for a finite world.https://www.core-we-care.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/st%C3%A9phane-schneider/Explore these valuable resources to further your journey in regenerative design:Discover more about Regenerative design at Paulownia Landscape Architects. https://www.paulownia-la.com/.Dive into the Twelve Laws of Nature and unlock the secrets of harmonizing with our planet at https://www.12lawsofnature.com/.Fulfill your garden aspirations with expert guidance from the Garden of Your Dreams masterclass at https://www.gardenofyourdreams.com/.Ready to take actionable steps towards your dream garden?

From regenerative soil care to designing spaces that nurture human connection, this episode explores how real estate can foster healing environments. The conversation blends principles of sustainability, densification, and wellness in business, asking: what if development meant community regeneration, not just construction?Jennifer Dechaine shares how her childhood on an organic acreage and her two-decade journey in sales shaped a vision of real estate that’s as heart-centered as it is profitable. She talks about leading with values, rejecting burnout culture, and embedding education, nature, and multigenerational gardening into new builds. Her heart-forward framework reframes sales as a noble, creative act.Jennifer Dechaine is the founder of Urban Bricks, a regenerative development company focused on community creation through infill densification.

EP31: Sam Sells - Redesigning Poverty Through Real Estate
“The only way to help people get out of poverty is to help them make money.”The episode unpacks how long-term poverty alleviation must go beyond charity and shift toward systems that generate wealth locally. Using the lens of real estate development, the conversation reveals that when people are empowered with knowledge, infrastructure, and access, they gain both dignity and sustainability. The key lies in designing environments where communities can thrive economically, socially, and ecologically—not as recipients of aid, but as creators of value.Sam Sells shares deep lessons from his years in military global health, working with NGOs and governments in underserved countries. He explains how Impact Growth Capital is rethinking affordable housing by integrating solar-powered infrastructure, on-site education, childcare, and an AI platform to guide residents from $0 to $50K income in two years. He critiques the inefficiencies of top-down aid and lays out how economic incentives can drive transformative regeneration.Sam Sells is the CEO of Impact Growth Capital and the host of The Disruptive Capitalist. A U.S. military veteran, he spent over a decade in global health and now builds purpose-driven communities that uplift the poor while delivering returns for investors.

Ep 26: Regenerative Communities & The Power of Connection | Brandon Barnum
"Belonging is a human desire that we have. And so, you know, we just want to help people connect in a meaningful way. And here at HOA.com, we focus on doing life with your neighbors, the people that you live next to, and we believe you should help the people around you and really get connected to the neighborhood that you live in.”Regenerative design isn’t just about soil health and water conservation—it’s about people. Strong, connected communities are the foundation of resilient, thriving ecosystems, and the way we design neighborhoods can either foster or hinder those connections. By rethinking homeowner associations (HOAs) and integrating communal spaces, shared green areas, and meaningful interactions, we create a future where people feel a deep sense of belonging.

Ep. 25: Catalytic Enabling Officer (CEO) at GPEKS Group – The King of Green Development
“We’ve reached the stage where we need to be more than green, we need to be more than sustainable, which is an upgrade from green, we need to become regenerative.”The future of sustainability isn’t only about doing less harm—it’s about reversing damage. Regenerative design takes this challenge head-on, integrating nature-positive strategies in construction, energy, and agriculture to create systems that not only sustain but actively improve the environment. By shifting away from conventional materials like concrete, steel, and timber—which contribute heavily to carbon emissions and deforestation—there’s a massive opportunity to build homes and infrastructure that are healthier, longer-lasting, and energy-independent. The key? Using abundant, locally sourced materials like compressed earth bricks and integrating passive solar design, renewable energy, and closed-loop food production systems.Frederic Pouyot is a pioneer in regenerative construction, advocating for building systems that are cost-effective, durable, and fully energy-autonomous. His projects blend earth-based building techniques with advanced energy solutions, creating communities that generate more energy than they consume. His approach challenges the outdated paradigms of conventional construction, proving that regenerative housing can be built faster, at half the cost, and with a fraction of the environmental footprint. He is also involved in large-scale projects integrating solar energy and sustainable transportation, including a high-speed, elevated rail system.Frederic is the Dean of the International Real Estate Development Institute, President of E3 Habitat, and CEO of GPEKS. With a background spanning solar energy, international development, and regenerative architecture, he has consulted for governments, utilities, and organizations like the World Bank. Now, he’s turning decades of research into action, developing regenerative housing communities and infrastructure projects across Canada and beyond.Learn more & connect: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/frederic-pouyot Earth Construction NGO: E3habitat.org Executive Master in Green Land Development: https://sites.google.com/view/iredi/ Development Company: gpeks.com “The Ploughman’s Folly” by Edward H.
