Jim Wallenberg is a company advisor, speaker, change leader. We spoke about engagement, working in different capacities in a company, how it is possible that many people still seem to think that engagement in a company is some random magic or luck and not a result of hard work. We also spoke about how to not get hired as a manager and what it takes to get compliance. This is a fun, tangible conversation about some the topic of leadership, management and how we get things done together. Enjoy! Host Amit Paul
Paul Weinfield (Spotify, webpage) musician, coach, teacher and more. Paul wrote a text about the heroes journey that grabbed Amit. This is a wonderful conversation about things like surrender, growth, truth, what it means to be human. But not in a high flying, abstract way, this is tangible, close and personal.

Glenda Eoyang is the founder of the Humans Systems Dynamics Institute (hsdinstitute.org). They have been working on human systems development for several decades teaching courses and developing tools for agency and collective action in the liminal times we are in. This is a gem of a conversation. Glenda provides some valuable frames from the institutes work on how to manage and navigate in the current times and we speak about difference, paradigm shifts, questions that make a difference, baker folds, non-linear dynamics and stances we can take to be of service to the transformation. Enjoy! If you are interested in the HSDs newsletter send a note to info[at]hsdinstitute.org
This is a bit of a change of pace. Jonathan Chadwick (who was a guest in EP 101) offered me to think out loud and structure my thoughts which I accepted gladly. The outcome is this open, explorative conversation where I get ot unfold and compost some ideas that can hopefully generate resonance and inspiration in you. Host Jonathan Chadwick. Guest: Amit Paul.

Jeff Su from nrythm and I got to speak about working with life as a model. This is a wonderful, tangible primer for those not familiar with what the regenerative paradigm is all about. Actually its probably a wonderful primer for even practitioners to check themselves around. Clear, precise and tangible. For entrepreneurs and established companies take a look at the incubator (application closes 19th of April 2024), here is a link to the organisational health assessment and the regenerative design lab. Enjoy this one, I certainly did. Host: Amit Paul More extensive shownotes (Substack)
Thought leader, designer and energy powerhouse Leyla Acaroglu (web, LinkedIn) came and talked about circularity, systemic perspectives, design and indigenous communities. We also talk about shit, what it is to suck at regeneration, participation in systems and learning. What does it mean to really take fully into account the context, whether it is hot and dry climate or the most poisonous spiders in the world? That we consist of both stardust and chickens and much much more. This is a wonderful conversation that goes deep and wide. Enjoy. Host Amit Paul Extended shownotes (Substack)
Nora Bateson came by the podcast again to speak in-depth about the concept of meeting, not matching problems. This is a wonderful concrete (not abstract) conversations that dives deep into this concept. A concept that is crucial for the world we're in. One that invites a different perception of it alltogether. Here's the first conversation. The book Combining. The article Communication is sacred. Enjoy!

Alnoor Ladha and Lynn Murphy came by the podcast talking about their work with post capitalism (webpage). This is a deep and through provoking conversation from a place in contact with also outside of the neoliberal, capitalist, western worldview. We touch upon a many different aspects of what being ecultured in modernity entails: our addiction to comfort, the importance of understanding the time we are born into, the assumption of our entitlement to know, to be certain. Alnoor and Lynn also link the spiritual, economic, political and religous very clearly and suggests a direction for where we might want to be headed. This is a deep and revealing conversation that I hope you will enjoy. I certainly did. Host: Amit Paul More extensive shownotes (Substack)
Elina Eriksson Associate Professor at KTH (profile) came on the podcast and we talked about the work she's been doing with her students at the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology around transformation and transition. We speak of nudging, counterfactional scenarios, university studies as learning not merely graduating, the paradigm shift, the new role of the teacher, voulnerability, how transformative questions can also come in the form of 'how are you?' We also speak about futures and what we can do to spark movement now, work Elina and her team has been doing with the Transition movement. Enjoy!
Karonline Bottheim (LinkedIn) founder of Länka Consulting visited the podcast and we had a wonderful weaving around leading complex processes, certainty, communication, moving in the groan zone, trusting your feelings as portals for deeper explorations, learning and much more. This is s deepdive for those curious about complexity facilitation and what it means to shift and manouver in multi-stakeholder processes. And then we talk about the bible. As two fellow curious that just made our way through it, one in a more rigorous fashion, and it's implications for our current moment. Enjoy! For more extensive shownotes (Substack)
Maria Haggo (LinkedIn) founder of Transform8, TEDx speaker and fellow curious came to the podcast.

This is a hands on conversation about relationships, emotions, triggers, ingroups and outgroups, who's fault it is, the utility of curiosity, what you can do when you fundamentally disagree and much more. This was a really useful conversation to me, simple not easy yet with lots of nuance. Enjoy! Host: Amit Paul For more detailed shownotes (Substack)
This is the third installment with Ylva and Alexander. This time we talk about the anteroom (mellanrum). This is the concept of the space between worlds where we can begin sensing and moving into what will come next. This is a powerful conversation about what it takes to go beyond the current paradigm. It is for those that are curious and interested about what is to come next. For those that have perhaps let go of some of what this world has to offer. For those that are doing this for something bigger than themselves, that long to be in service. Enjoy! Extensive shownotes (Substack)
Ralph Thurm (LinkedIn), Managing director of r3.0 joined me on the podcast. We spoke of the work r3.0 is doing and regenerative transformation. We spoke of the evolution of the field of sustainability, what it means to regeneratively redesign, as well as the flaws (and as what r3.0 has done to amend them) of the current discourse of sustainability. We also spoke of the topics of post-collapse readiness, the connection between micro and macro, bioregionalism, membranes, boundaries and measurement. This is a rich conversation for beginning to understand what a regenerative economy could contain. For more extensive shownotes (Substack)

This is a solo episode with a reflection for the new year. My 111th episode as co-host of the World of Wisdom podcast. I touch upon 3 topics that are central in my current exploration: the idea of hospicing modernity, why the work I've been involved with around the masculine and the feminine seems to be about the other and getting off the map and into the territory and finally I propose what creation looks like in the realm of the masculine and feminine. If you want more of me either check out my Substack or my (new!) webpage. Enjoy! Host: Amit Paul
Nora Bateson founder of Warm data labs and author of the book Combining came on the podcast for a warm, worldbending conversation. We speak of this world we live in and what it means to be involved in its unfolding through some of the concepts in Noras current book Combining. We speak of confusion, complexity, abouting, readying, shifting, communication, range, side by siding, the need for discontinuation, changing maps and how the territory always wins. This conversation has had me say "as Nora said" for weeks... perhaps you will to. Enjoy. Extensive show notes (Substack)
Mandy Martini Chihuailaf (webpage) came on the podcast. We spoke about indigenous wisdom, remembering, and why our western culture seems to be so stuck. Mandy works with indigenous approaches to moving through trauma and stress. Healing it by completing they cycle, just like any other wound. We also spoke of our current perdicament, remembering who you are and the different steps in teaching. The importance in her tradition to show and allow the one that is learning to then take their own steps. Even when it comes to hard lessons... this is a down to earth, wonderful conversation touching a place outside the dominant culture.

Darcia Narvaez, Professor of Psychology at Notre Dame university (web, university) has lived many contexts and careers before she started her research on the Evolved nest and the kinship worldview. She has written a number of books on the topic of how we care for our children, or lack of care for them, has deep implications for the world we live in today. This conversation centers around that concept and how we can break the cycle (film) and re-imagine humanity (film) in ways that take us in more regenerative directions. This is an incredibly important and timely conversation. Host: Amit Paul
