In this episode I speak to Andrea Farias, a digital researcher, strategist, and storyteller on a mission to support the transition to a regenerative civilisation.

In this conversation we touch on the following themes:

• Andrea's vision for a regenerative civilisation looks through the layers of cultural materialism and how this framework can help us understand change.


• We unpack the concept of regeneration and particularly in the context of economics.


• We examine the role that technology can play in assisting us, raising both caution and opportunities, particularly around how we might tap into collective human intelligence.


• We talk about the role of institutions in our current crises and why we need new types of institutions to steward us.


• Andrea shares some episodes and experiences in her life that led to question many assumptions about life and the world, and eventually a regeneration of her own life by going through episodes of pain and suffering and finding a new authentic sense of joy for life. The regeneration also led to shifting course from working in the startup and corporate innovation space, where she led projects for clients such as ⁠⁠Change.org⁠⁠ and Mozilla to the path that she is on now.
