Episode 184 Benedikt Boesel Save Our Soils Regenerative FarmingFarm RebellionBenedikt Bösel, a regenerative farmer, shares his journey of transforming a thousand hectares of sandy, dry German soils into a thriving ecosystem. He discusses the challenges he faced in implementing regenerative practices and the need for a shift in the agricultural system. Benedikt emphasizes the importance of reconnecting with nature and understanding the true value of agriculture. He also highlights the need for societal support and policy changes to create a more sustainable and resilient farming system. Benedikt Bösel shares his journey of starting a regenerative farm and the importance of inviting people to experience and understand the work they do. He emphasizes the need for systemic, ecological, and social innovation in agriculture. Benedikt highlights the role of partnerships and support from organizations like Follow Food and the Schmidt Heine family in the growth of his farm. He discusses the importance of reconnecting people with nature and making sustainable choices in food consumption. Benedikt also challenges the notion that cows are the problem and emphasizes their role in regenerative land use.Regenerative farming practices can transform degraded soils and create resilient ecosystems.The current agricultural system prioritizes mass production and cheap prices, leading to externalized costs and environmental degradation.Society needs to recognize the value of agriculture beyond food production and support the transition to regenerative practices.Collaboration between farmers, scientists, and policymakers is crucial for driving systemic change in the agricultural sector. Systemic, ecological, and social innovation is crucial in agriculture.Partnerships and support from organizations are essential for the growth of regenerative farms.Reconnecting people with nature and making sustainable food choices are important.Cows play a vital role in regenerative land use and should not be seen as the problem.Redefining the Value of Agriculture: Beyond Food ProductionTransforming Sandy Soils: The Journey of a Regenerative Farmer The Role of Cows in Regenerative Land UsePartnerships and Support for Regenerative Farms"We need to touch people's emotions, we need to touch people's hearts.

Glenn A. Albrecht is an Honorary Associate in the School of Geosciences, The University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. He retired as Professor of Sustainability, at Walter Murdoch University, in mid-2014. He continues to work as an environmental philosopher and published a book, Earth Emotions, with Cornell University Press in 2019. Earth Emotions was published in French and Spanish in 2020 and in Dutch in 2024.In numerous publications and public talks over the last two decades, Dr Albrecht has developed the theme of the psychoterratic (psyche-earth), or negative and positive emotional states connected to the state of the Earth. New concepts, developed by him, are now becoming well-established in the international scholarly literature, new research theses, and as inspiration for many creative people in the arts and music.While he is best known for creating the concept of solastalgia, or the lived experience of negative environmental change, his most recent work develops the mega-meme of the 'Symbiocene', a future state where humans re-integrate with the rest of nature. A book of that title should be completed by the end of 2024. He currently lives at Blackheath on Gundungurra land in the Blue Mountains of NSW, Australia.Glenn Albrecht, an environmental philosopher, discusses the concepts of psychoterratic, solastalgia, and the symbiocene. He emphasizes the importance of developing new language and concepts to describe the emotional and psychological states connected to the state of the Earth. Albrecht believes that the current language used in sustainability and eco-literacy is inadequate and easily misused. He introduces the concept of the symbiocene, a future state where humans reintegrate with the rest of nature, as a paradigm shift from the Anthropocene. He sees symbiosis as the foundation for life and a key to creating a better future. Glenn emphasizes the need to focus on the practical application of symbiosis in order to shift away from extractive and exploitative economic practices. He highlights the importance of transdisciplinary thinking and breaking down disciplinary boundaries to understand the value of life and the need for harmony with all living beings. Glenn discusses the potential for using biotechnology, such as mycelium-based coffins and mycelium bricks, as sustainable alternatives to current technologies. He envisions a future where everything we use can be returned to the cycles of life and where the joy of life and positive Earth emotions are nurtured.Glenn Albrecht, psychoterratic, solastalgia, symbiocene, sustainability, eco-literacy, language, concepts, emotional states, psychological states, Earth, symbiosis, Anthropocene, paradigm shift, symbiosis, practical application, transdisciplinary thinking, harmony, biotechnology, mycelium-based products, sustainable alternatives, joy of life, positive Earth emotionsDeveloping new language and concepts is crucial for understanding and addressing the emotional and psychological states connected to the state of the Earth.The current language used in sustainability and eco-literacy is inadequate and easily misused.The concept of the symbiocene, a future state where humans reintegrate with the rest of nature, offers a paradigm shift from the Anthropocene.Symbiosis is the foundation for life and a key to creating a better future.Resonance and frequency play a role in conveying emotions and can be a form of language beyond spoken words.

Episode 182 Thomas Rödding Digital Product Passport
Thomas Rödding, CEO of Narravero, discusses the Digital Product Passport and its significance in the context of the European Union's Green Deal and ESG taxonomy. The Digital Product Passport is a digital interface that provides comprehensive information about a product, including its ingredients, manufacturing process, certificates, and end-of-life options. It aims to enable a circular economy by making it easier for consumers to make informed choices and for businesses to provide transparency and traceability. The implementation of the Digital Product Passport has the potential to revolutionize the way products are produced, consumed, and disposed of, leading to more sustainable practices and better environmental outcomes. The Digital Product Passport (DPP) is a powerful tool that combines sustainability and compliance with customer experience and centricity. It provides a way to make products more transparent, accessible, and trustworthy. The DPP enables consumers to easily access vital information about a product, such as its environmental impact, ethical considerations, and authenticity. It also empowers consumers to make informed decisions and encourages businesses to adopt more sustainable practices. The DPP has the potential to revolutionize various industries, including agriculture, by promoting regenerative practices and reducing waste. Starting early with the implementation of the DPP is crucial to stay ahead of the game and reap the benefits of improved customer experience and compliance. The DPP also opens up opportunities for marketing, services, and innovation, creating a more sustainable and future-fit world.
The Digital Product Passport is a digital interface that provides comprehensive information about a product, enabling consumers to make informed choices and businesses to provide transparency and traceability.
The implementation of the Digital Product Passport has the potential to revolutionize the way products are produced, consumed, and disposed of, leading to more sustainable practices and better environmental outcomes.
May 27, 2024, Exciting news from the EU! The Council of the European Union has given its final approval to the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (#ESPR), marking a major milestone in our journey towards sustainability. This groundbreaking regulation mandates that all products placed on the European market will require a #Digital #Product #Passport. This passport will provide comprehensive information on the environmental sustainability of products, enhancing transparency and enabling informed consumer choices.
This initiative will significantly reduce the environmental impact of products, improve circularity, and drive innovation across various industries. It’s a transformative step that aligns with our commitment to a greener and more sustainable future.
And the Digital Product Passport will bring about positive realities for Europe! It won't be straightforward – a lot of work awaits us. However, many smart minds are working on the DPP concept in an interdisciplinary manner, connecting with each other, thinking from the perspective of businesses and end customers – for a circular economy that can and will work.

Stephen Buchmann is a pollination ecologist specializing in bees and an adjunct professor with the departments of Entomology and of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. A Fellow of the Linnean Society of London, he has published over 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers and eleven books, including The Forgotten Pollinators with Gary Nabhan (Island Press, 1996) and, most recently, The Reason for Flowers: Their History, Culture, Biology, and How They Change Our Lives (Scribner, 2015). Buchmann is a frequent guest on many public media venues including NPR’s All Things Considered, and Science Friday. Reviews of his books have appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Time and Discover magazines and other national publications. He is an engaging public speaker on topics of flowers, pollinators, and the natural world. His many awards include the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award, and an NSTA Outstanding Science Trade Book. For many of us, the buzzing of a bee elicits panic. But the next time you hear that low droning sound, look closer: the bee has navigated to this particular spot for a reason using a fascinating set of tools. She may be using her sensitive olfactory organs, which provide a 3D scent map of her surroundings. She may be following visual landmarks or instructions relayed by a hive-mate. She may even be tracking electrostatic traces left on flowers by other bees. What a Bee Knows: Exploring the Thoughts, Memories, and Personalities of Bees invites us to follow bees’ mysterious paths and experience their alien world. Although their brains are incredibly small—just one million neurons compared to humans’ 100 billion—bees have remarkable abilities to navigate, learn, communicate, and remember. In What a Bee Knows, entomologist Stephen Buchmann explores a bee’s way of seeing the world and introduces the scientists who make the journey possible. We travel into the field and to the laboratories of noted bee biologists who have spent their careers digging into the questions most of us never thought to ask (for example: Do bees dream? And if so, why?). With each discovery, Buchmann’s insatiable curiosity and sense of wonder is infectious. What a Bee Knows will challenge your idea of a bee’s place in the world—and perhaps our own. This lively journey into a bee’s mind reminds us that the world is more complex than our senses can tell us. www.stephenbuchmann.com

Michael Shaun Conaway is my guest on Episode 160 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
Michael Shaun is endlessly curious about how life works, why we do things the way we do and how we might do them differently. This led him to become a phenomenological philosopher – someone who examines life from the way life shows up moment to moment. His current work in Being and Time is rooted in this tradition. Michael Shaun’s purpose in life is to unleash greatness to bring about a thriving future. His mission is to empower and accelerate the redesign of our failing systems to create an anti-fragile, anti-rival world, one that works for all. To this end he helped to create the field of Generative Futurism, the practice of generating or envisioning desirable futures at near and long timeframes, back-casting steps it would take to realize that future and then acting to take those steps moving forward in time. Simply put, this is the capacity to see and realize futures. Michael Shaun is a frequent speaker on long-term strategy, the future and being and time. His keynotes have the uncanny power to shift culture by building a new narrative for the audience. His talks are journeys designed to leave the audience seeing from a new reality. Michael Shaun Conaway is the founder of five highly successful ventures. He is an award-winning filmmaker, editing publisher of PROOF magazine, founder of Bold.ly NOW, a entrepreneur education platform, CEO of Storyworks, a social impact creative agency, and the non-profit Generative Futures initiative. Michael Shaun is the director of award-winning documentary feature, WeRiseUP, a culture-shifting film featuring key global leaders. WeRiseUP asks a fundamental question: What is success for humanity? Michael Shaun started his career in the mid-nineties as a writer/director for video games. By 2000 his creative agency, Storyworks became the go to agency for high tech companies looking to create visions of the future.

Written by Eric Lonergan, a leading policy economist and author of the bestseller, Angrynomics (FT critics book of the year 2020), and Corinne Sawers, a sustainability and climate expert, the book introduces the concept of "supercharging", a new framework for accelerating our response to climate change. Through a series of high impact policy hacks, Supercharge Me will embolden activists, reinvigorate the disheartened, and reframe the climate crisis as an opportunity. The book is structured as a dialogue, where Lonergan’s expertise in markets and economics is combined with Sawers’ extensive knowledge of the climate challenge and business transformation. The authors’ appreciation of the realities of human psychology, politics and how companies work, make this one of the most accessible and practical guides to the climate crisis.

My guest today on this Special Edition of Inside Ideas is Dr Roland Strauss - one of the most influential figures within the European innovation landscape. For well over a decade, in his role as Founder of the nonprofit, Knowledge4Innovation, he has been the driving force behind the European Innovation Summit held annually in the European Parliament, which brings European commissioners and MEPs face-to-face with the needs of the company’s, organisations, ideas and startups driving innovation across the continent. Now, as Europe begins laying out its plans for delivering on its vision to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, it is the role of innovation that will again take centre stage. And as the key innovation platform at the heart of the European institutions, with the support of dozens of MEPs, it is the K4I Forum in the European Parliament - sitting at the crossroads between politics; businesses; startups; academia and wider society, which is perfectly placed to help define the leading role it will play in achieving this net-zero future. Right now, Dr Strauss and K4I are doing that most notably by leading the charge for the development of a European Innovation Area - a single ecosystem for innovation across the continent that can harness the collective power of progress to achieve a just transition towards a sustainable Europe that truly works for all. The journey towards achieving this ecosystem is well underway, with the inaugural European Innovation Area Summit – led by K4I – set to take place in the European Parliament next month. So, this is the perfect time to welcome Dr Strauss onto Inside Ideas to discover more about the European Innovation Area and its first ever summit. https://www.europeaninnovationarea.eu

Steven Ramage is my guest on Episode 157 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley. Steven’s lowest grade (C) at school was geography, but he has been working in the geospatial sector and evangelizing location as the third global currency alongside time and money for the last two decades. Steven started studying French, German, Russian and Spanish in the 80s, but moved to commerce and information systems because his grandfather (who supported him through university) didn’t think languages would be useful! Today, Steven works in 3-4 languages most weeks, but his background in computing and information systems has served him well. He works extensively on collective intelligence in an intergovernmental partnership spanning more than 100 countries and probably close to 1000 organisations with countless individual contributors. He believes in the words of Margaret Mead about the power of individuals and has been promoting the concept of human interoperability for over a decade. Steven would like organisations to think more about behaviour, incentives, and motivation as they develop data strategies and work towards access and sharing of data to address key global challenges, but he knows and understands that data is meaningless without buy in and use. Steven was part of a management buyout, has created a government start-up, been on the board of an industry start-up and been in numerous leadership positions. He was a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (lapsed), is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and was recently invited to be a Fellow of the World Economic Forum (not yet fulfilled). He’s a Visiting Professor at the Institute for Future Cities at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland and an advisor to the UK Space Agency.

Allan Savory is my guest on Episode 143 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley. Allan Savory, born in Zimbabwe and educated in South Africa (University of Natal, BS in Zoology and Botany) pursued an early career as a research biologist and game ranger in the British Colonial Service of what was then Northern Rhodesia (today Zambia) and later as a farmer and game rancher in Zimbabwe. In the 1960s he made a significant breakthrough in understanding what was causing the degradation and desertification of the world’s grassland ecosystems and, as a resource management consultant, worked with numerous managers on four continents to develop sustainable solutions. He served as a Member of Parliament in the latter days of Zimbabwe’s civil war and became the leader of the opposition to the ruling party headed by Ian Smith. Exiled in 1979 as a result of his opposition, he immigrated to the United States, where he continued to work with land managers through his consulting business. The growth of that business, a desire to assist many more people and the need for furthering his work led him to continue its development in the nonprofit world. In 1992 Savory and his wife, Jody Butterfield, formed a non-profit organization in Zimbabwe, the Africa Centre for Holistic Management, donating a ranch that would serve as a learning site for people all over Africa. In 2009 Savory, Butterfield, and a group of colleagues co-founded the Savory Institute in Boulder, Colorado to serve the world through an international network of entrepreneurial innovators and leaders committed to serving their regions with the highest standards of Holistic Management training and implementation support. The Africa Centre became the first of the Savory Institute’s locally led and managed “hubs.” Savory’s book, Holistic Management: A New Framework for Decision-Making (Island Press, 1999), describes his effort to find workable solutions ordinary people could implement to overcome many of the problems besetting communities and businesses today. In 2003, Allan Savory received Australia’s International Banksia Award “for the person or organization doing the most for the environment on a global scale,” and in 2010 Savory (and the Africa Centre) received the Buckminster Fuller Institute’s Challenge award for work that has “significant potential to solve humanity’s most pressing problems.” A TED talk Savory gave in 2013 has received over 3.4 million views and in 2014 was voted one of the 50 most intriguing TED talks of all time. The Savory Institute is one of 11 finalists in the Virgin Earth Challenge, a $25 million initiative for the successful commercialization of ways of taking greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere and keeping them out with no countervailing impacts.

Dr. Fritjof Capra is my guest on Episode 139 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
Fritjof is a scientist, educator, activist, and author of many international bestsellers that connect conceptual changes in science with broader changes in worldview and values in society.
A Vienna-born physicist and systems theorist, Fritjof first became popularly known for his book, The Tao of Physics, which explored the ways in which modern physics was changing our worldview from a mechanistic to a holistic and ecological one. Published in 1975, it is still in print in more than 40 editions worldwide and is referenced with the statue of Shiva in the courtyard of one of the world’s largest and most respected centers for scientific research: CERN, the Center for Research in Particle Physics in Geneva.
Over the past 50 years, Fritjof has been engaged in a systematic exploration of how other sciences and society are ushering in a similar shift in worldview, or paradigms, leading to a new vision of reality and a new understanding of the social implications of this cultural transformation.
His most recent book, Patterns of Connection: Essential Essays from Five Decades (The University of New Mexico Press, 2021),
Capra is a founding director of the Berkeley-based Center for Ecoliteracy, which is dedicated to advancing ecology and systems thinking in primary and secondary education, and serves on the Council of the Earth Charter Initiative.
He is the author of The Turning Point (1982), The Web of Life (1996), The Hidden Connections (2002), The Science of Leonardo (2007), and Learning from Leonardo (2013). He coauthored Green Politics (1984), Belonging to the Universe (1991), and EcoManagement (1993), and coedited Steering Business Toward Sustainability (1995).
The main focus of Fritjof's environmental education and activism has been to help build and nurture sustainable communities. He believes that to do so, we can learn valuable lessons from the study of ecosystems, which are sustainable communities of plants, animals, and microorganisms.
The Systems View of Life presents a grand new synthesis of this work—integrating the biological, cognitive, social, and ecological dimensions of life into one unified vision. Several critics have suggested that The Systems View of Life, which Fritjof coauthored with Pier Luigi Luisi, Professor of Biology at the University of Rome, is destined to become another classic.

Tinia Pina is my guest on Episode 135 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley. Tinia received her B.S. in Business Information Technology from Virginia Tech and studied briefly at Columbia University's Earth Institute. She has seven years of experience in the financial services industry and ten years as a professional in the sustainability industry. Her experiences related to food waste, food systems and sustainability have fueled her passion to increase our communities' resilience, prosperity, and knowledge to help us live more conscious lives. Tinia's pioneering business model has earned her a Huffington Post Millennial Impact Grant, the American Express Emerging Innovator award and a MillerCoors Urban Entrepreneur grant, among other honors. After studying Environmental Conservation and Sustainability at Columbia University’s Earth Institute and volunteering at various community urban farms, Tinia launched Re-Nuble with a mission to “Redefine Waste” within urban communities. Re-Nuble quickly evolved into a social enterprise dedicated to changing wasteful habits around the world. Tinia is a SWANA Certified Composting Systems Technical Associate and her experiences related to food waste, systems and policy have fueled her passion to increase our communities’ resilience, prosperity, and knowledge to help us live more conscious lives. Re-Nuble Founded December 2011 While volunteering as an SAT-prep teacher in 2012 in New York City, Founder Tinia Pina saw firsthand how limited healthy food options impacted her students' productivity, affecting their future. Pulled towards the mission of improving local food production, she created the company, Re-Nuble. Tinia felt there was a unique opportunity to use New York City's food stream to catalyze more sustainable growing near urban areas, especially as people continue to become more interested in eating less chemically-laden food. Tinia began to spend a lot of time thinking, why is this? Why is it that there’s more affordable chemically-laden and processed food available than chemical- free and healthier options. After doing extensive research, Tinia realized that it’s because our food system is incredibly inefficient. A pound of organic- certified tomatoes is often sold at a price that’s 43% higher than chemically produced (conventionally grown) tomatoes because it’s easier and cheaper for growers to produce. With the alarming adversities our society is facing with food and water scarcity and with 70% of global population estimated to live in and near cities by 2050, she knew that we had to be more smart and efficient with our natural resources and overall production of healthy, good food.

Deepanker Khosla is my guest on Episode 133 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley. Deepanker Khosla, affectionately known as “DK”, is as passionate about re-imagining authentic Classic Indian cuisine which he likes to call Neo-Indian, as he is for achieving food sustainability. Haoma is his dream-come-true project that began with an online course in Aquaponics and just a year later had bloomed into a full-blown, functioning urban farm in the heart of Bangkok. But it was a year of toiling the earth, coaxing fish to grow in new waters and of experimenting through many trials and errors to optimize flavors – all the while working to create a food system that can truly be called sustainable. DK`s commitment to the environment is contagious and so is his drive and passion to deliver excellent cuisine at Haoma Bangkok.

Before COVID-19 hit, overtourism was the biggest problem in the world of travel. Then, seemingly overnight, tourism nearly ceased. But as travel resumes, will we return to a world of overrun monuments, littered beaches, bumper-to-bumper traffic in national parks, and gridlocked city streets? Or can we create sustainable, healthy tourism centered on principles like equity, conservation, and good governance? Overtourism: Lessons for a Better Future (Publication Date: May 27, 2021), edited by Martha Honey, co-founder and former Executive Director of the Center for Responsible Travel (CREST), and Kelsey Frenkiel, a Program Manager at CREST, charts a path toward tourism that is truly sustainable, focusing on the triple bottom line of people, planet, and prosperity.

After examining the causes and effects of overtourism, the book turns to management approaches in five distinct types of tourism destinations: historic cities; national parks and protected areas; World Heritage Sites; beaches and coastal communities; and destinations governed by regional and national authorities. Case studies are drawn from around the globe, from the Galapagos Islands to the Serengeti and from Big Sur, California, to Barcelona, Spain.

Ilana Preuss is my guest on Episode 122 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley. Ilana Preuss is the Founder & CEO of Recast City. Prior to that she was the Vice President and Chief of Staff at Smart Growth America and led the technical assistance program at the EPA Smart Growth Program. She is a TEDx speaker on “The Economic Power of Great Places” and a featured keynote speaker. COVID-19 brought about a historic collapse in jobs and people’s livelihoods, devastating many small businesses and leaving storefronts vacant across the country. But even before the pandemic, main streets across the US were suffering and cities relied on an unsustainable and inequitable economic development model. As cities emerge from the pandemic, how can they take control of the situation and shift to a new model that supports long-term growth through thoughtful, inclusive investment in the local community? In Recast Your City, Preuss inspires change by showing what communities across the country have been able to achieve using this method. She highlights how Fremont, California, worked to build up small- scale manufacturing businesses instead of relying on one major manufacturer, while Knoxville, Tennessee, supported a diverse range of business owners through small-business training programs and a Maker Summit featuring producers of color.

Karel J. Golta is my guest on Episode 95 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
In the age of artificial intelligence, digitization and machine learning being human is often neglected. For Karel therefore it is crucial that innovations are not only human- centered but rather make mankind - in unity with the entire ecosystem – the decisive factor in development.
That this is something only design can do - that is not to be argued with the entrepreneur and convinced business-romantic. Unlike many other topics, the founder and managing director of three companies – INDEED Innovation, TOI - Tools of Innovators, and Simplexion –
loves to discuss, to provoke and to put the finger into wounds which no one previously suspected that they exist.
As a speaker at international events, as initiator of successful event formats, as a board member and adviser of different cluster organizations, as lecturer at the Steinbeis University in Berlin as well as columnist and author, but above all in his attitude as an entrepreneur, Karel provokes and inspires executives as well as young talents to new thoughts.
It is important to him that design is perceived as creation of value and not as creation of objects. And even more so he wants to convey to his listeners and readers the idea that design plays an important role wherever you want to change something.

Songwriter & Advocate for Sustainable Food Systems Reform
Eva Keretic is my guest on Episode 94 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
If there’s one thing Eva Keretic has mastered in the half-century of her life, it’s to embrace an experience and create a story. Whether it be in song, or speech, or trying to save the planet.
There she was at her first meeting with politicians and managing directors, hoping to finance an innovative vertical farm facility run on 100% renewable energy, and they started off with the normal introduction round. Their lists were long and impressive. She was panicking how would she even begin explaining her right and imminent necessity to be there amongst them. She decided the best plan of action was to go with her true story.
She did write, produce and perform 6 albums of original music. She believes in and follows her desires to express her life stories with music and share them with the world. While doing it all, she has been adding something insightful to the lives of others through her experiences, she sure has and continues to do so. Whether it was for the many or a chosen few, she turned her life’s lessons and heartaches into songs.
All the work involved in being an artist-led her down other roads, which allowed her to write advertising songs for companies, to create her “team-building with songwriting” agency, and to write songs to help teach kids to learn English.
As is the natural course of a “do-gooder songwriter”, charitable work was the next step, she found herself tackling bigger global issues, like world peace and climate change. She was fortunate enough to have been accepted to train as a Climate Leader with Al Gore (former Vice President and Oscar winner for “The Inconvenient Truth) and his Climate Reality Project, and what she remembers most from her climate training with Mr. Gore, was that he said, „take what you’ve learned from my experiences and my presentation and weave it into your own narrative“. It all came down to the fact that all her experiences led her to become an advocate for spreading climate awareness.
So in the end, that’s what landed her a spot at the table in that room with VIP politicians and the like. When she did confess her truths, it turned out the others were more impressed with her coming from “off the beaten path” than anything else (and they became fans, who doesn’t love music).

Raphael Gielgen is my guest on Episode 66 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
Raphael is a Trend Scout for Vitra. Raphael has spent most of his professional life working on making the office environment a better place. Even some of his own colleagues think he’s a little crazy. His irrepressible curiosity, his restless quest for explanations, and his delight at upending everything can occasionally make him an uncomfortable companion. When he appears at the office after returning from a long trip, he recounts things that sound more like a virtual utopia than a reality that has been experienced. He visits over one hundred companies in a single year; the world is his workplace, the future of his area of research. His work informs Vitra´s approach to improving the quality of offices and public spaces through the power of design by serving the varied Vitra team with the results of my observations and cognitions by trend clusters, market analysis, and business cases.

Sam Van Aken is my guest on Episode 64 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
Sam is a contemporary artist who works beyond traditional modes of art-making, crossing artistic genres and disciplines to develop new perspectives on such themes as agriculture, botany, climatology, memory, and the ever-increasing impact of technology. Sam works in the natural and public realm are seen as metaphors that serve as the basis of narrative, sites of placemaking, collective learning, and in some cases have become the basis of scientific research.
Artist Sam Van Aken shares the breathtaking work behind the "Tree of 40 Fruit," an ongoing series of hybridized fruit trees that grow 40 different varieties of peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, and cherries -- all on the same tree. What began as an art project to showcase beautiful, multi-hued blossoms has become a living archive of rare heirloom specimens and their histories, a hands-on (and delicious!) way to teach people about cultivation and a vivid symbol of the need for biodiversity to ensure food security. "More than just food, embedded in these fruits is our culture ... In many ways, these fruits are our story," Van Aken says.

Stuart Scott is my guest on Episode 60 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
Stuart refers to himself as an eco-social strategist. After working a conventional career with assignments for IBM, Merrill Lynch, and several universities, in 2008 he gave up working for money and since has devoted himself through a series of volunteer staffed initiatives, to awakening humanity to the ecological and climate catastrophes that our growth economic system is creating. His latest effort is an initiative called Facing Future TV.
Principally known for his visibility at UN-sponsored climate negotiations, or COPS and extensive video interviews, his thesis is that modern economies, their unrelenting emphasis on growth, privately owned central banks exponentially expanding the money supply, are akin to cancer with humanity as its host, that will inevitably destroy the host. In 2018, Stuart brought Greta Thunberg and her father, Svante Thunberg, to COP-24 in Poland, from which Greta’s unwaveringly clear message to world leaders was amplified and her position cemented as the preeminent spokesperson for youth and future generations, thus increasing her profile, worldwide, leading to his nomination of Greta for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Stuart succeeded in convincing famed climate scientist James Hansen, former Director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Science, to attend the climate talks that he had previously shunned as an ineffective sham, first to COP-21 in Paris (2015), again to COP-23 in Bonn, Germany (2017), and also to COP-25 in Madrid, Spain (2019).

Olga Grönvall Lund is my guest on Episode 54 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
Olga is a Swedish entrepreneur who has worked with food-related projects her whole professional career. She has mainly been active in Stockholm and Berlin but has also hosted events, catered, and done productions in other parts of the world such as Hong Kong, London, Bologna, Copenhagen, and Paris to name a few.
In 2019 Olga founded Reformaten – a people’s movement for a new food system where everyone’s winner - humans, animals and nature. The slogan, “Det ska vara lätt att äta rätt”, explains the purpose well; “it must be easy to eat right”.
Throughout her career she had noticed the problems with the current food system through a business perspective, but It wasn't until last year, when her dad got seriously sick with colon cancer and was hospitalized, that she realized how deeply rooted and systemized this issue really is.
The food served to her dad in the hospital was a menu filled with industrial processed food or red meat. The type of food that is destroying our planet and is proven cancerogenic by WHO – and her own tax money was paying for it.
The idea was to translate boring and complicated research reports so that “normal” people outside the food system would understand and gather the voice of the people in a petition to show our leaders that a new system is demanded.
Olga's strongest assets are her energy, creativity, fearlessness, positive vibe, great taste and broad net of contacts.

Prof. Dr. Matthias Glaubrecht is Marc's guest on Episode 50 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
The End of Evolution the nature of life and Biodiversity
One of the most famous German evolutionary biologists Matthias sees the greatest loss of species since the dinosaurs became extinct as a worldwide biological tragedy. The greatest threat to the existence of all living beings is definitely humans, whose own future is at stake.
The book published by C. Bertelsmann on "The End of Evolution. Man and the Destruction of Species" is not only nominated for the NDR Culture Non-Fiction Prize 2020 as "the best science book of the year" in the field of medicine/biology by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Science. Federal Ministry of Education, Science, and Research
Climate change is finally on everyone's lips. However alarming proportions it has assumed it is only a sideline in the face of the apocalyptic horsemen who are currently roaming the earth in an act of devastation: population explosion, scarcity of resources, environmental destruction, and the extinction of species.
Whether the end of evolution, which threatens to become a realistic scenario by the middle of the 21st century at the latest, can still be stopped, will be decided by our actions in the decades immediately ahead.

Jennie is the Director of the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs and the Dean’s Professor of Sustainability Science & Policy at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. She is also the Director for Strategic Research Collaborations at Northeastern University’s Global Resilience Institute, and is affiliated with the Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies Program, the department of Civil & Environmental Engineering and the department of Cultures, Societies & Global Studies.
Her research, teaching, and community engagement focus on integrating social justice, feminist, and anti-racist perspectives into climate and energy resilience, social and political aspects of the renewable energy transition, reducing reliance on fossil fuels, energy democracy, gender in energy and climate, and climate and energy justice. Her unique transdisciplinary approach integrates innovations in social science and public policy with science and engineering to promote social justice, reduce inequalities and redistribute power (electric power, economic power and political power). In her book Diversifying Power: Why We Need Antiracist, Feminist Leadership on Climate and Energy published by Island Press in 2020, she argues that effectively addressing climate change requires diversifying leadership, redistributing wealth and power, and moving beyond mainstream male-dominated technocratic solutions to climate change.

Andy Dobson was born in London and moved to live in Scotland before starting school. He spent the next fifteen years becoming a keen birdwatcher and bibliophile. He commuted daily from a small village on the edge of the Highlands to Glasgow High School. His family moved to Essex in 1970 and he completed school at King Edwards VI Grammar School, Chelmsford where he spent a lot of time measuring a museum collection of bird eggs and trying to quantify changes in their shape and size.
He went to Imperial College, London University as a Botanist and emerged as a Zoologist in 1976, he then went to Oxford to for his PhD on “The Mortality Rates of British Birds”. During his time as a graduate student, he worked as a sous-Chef at the Cherwell Boathouse Restaurant, this generated a lifetime interest in food and its production. He was then a post-doc back at Imperial with Roy Anderson working on the population dynamics of host-parasite relationships, work which led him to Princeton to work on combinations of all of the above with Bob May. He was hired at the University of Rochester in 1987 and after three years returned to Princeton in 1990, he’s lived there as a member of the Ecology and Evolution faculty ever since.
Andy’s research focuses on the role that infectious diseases play in the dynamics of wild animal and plant populations and how this modifies the structure of food webs. Thinking about how to develop mathematical models for these problems takes him to Serengeti, Yellowstone, Panama and along the coast of California. He also works on assorted problems in conservation biology and models for animal social systems and how these interact with the dynamics of different pathogens. This work is based on the wolf population in Yellowstone, but gains insights from the lion studies in Serengeti and a long-term fascination with primate social systems. Andy has published and edited several books: “Conservation and Biodiversity”, “Population Dynamics of Diseases in Natural Populations”, and “Unsolved Problems in Ecology.” He has been an external Faculty member at the Santa Fe Institute since 2011.
Increasingly his time there will be spent writing a series of books that provide introductions to the scientific systems he has studied: “Serengeti Lives”, “Parasite Lives”, “Yellowstone Lives”. He is part of the SFI “Arrow of Time” working group that is examining “Timescales and Immunity”.

After studying middle east politics, Alex spent time travelling and working in the region, beginning her career in international development, detouring to social care, before becoming communications manager at think tank the RSA (Royal Society of Arts). Having always been fascinated by why systems fail and what it takes to make them succeed, she found in the story of pirates, the answers to some long standing questions.
Since then she has written a follow up book, How to: Be More Pirate, documenting the insights from their movement - a frontline perspective on the courage and conviction required to rewrite the rules of the 21st century. Alongside building the movement, Alex works with businesses, universities, NGOs and the public sector supporting them to overhaul their culture, take more risks and be more ambitious with how they can support wider system change.

Nacho is a naturalist, professional explorer and popularizer. The first person in history to walk around the world and swim across the 5 continents (there have been more people on the moon). But beyond the feat, what is truly important is the purpose for which he undertakes his expeditions, and it is the conservation of the planet.

Dave Borlace is my guest on this episode of Inside Ideas. Our conversation is split into two parts.
Born just 4 months before man first landed on the moon back in 1969, Dave Borlace has been conscious of environmental issues since studying for a Technology Degree with the Open University in the late 1990s.
In early 2017 Dave read a seminal book called ‘A Farewell to Ice’, written by the arctic research scientist Professor Peter Wadhams. That book was an epiphany that set Dave off on a quest to create climate communication videos that aim to decode the sometimes overwhelmingly complicated and confusing scientific information around climate change, with the objective of explaining the concepts in the sort of plain English that everyday folks can understand.
His YouTube channel, Just Have a Think, now has over 100,000 subscribers. Through his weekly videos, Dave seeks to understand the issues that face our civilisation in the 21st Century and focusses on the potential solutions that will save as many lives as possible and hopefully bring about a greater level of equality in the world.

Tamás Dávid-Barrett is Marc Buckley's guest on the latest edition of Inside Ideas. Tamas is a behavioural scientist, who asks what traits allow humans to live in large and culturally complex societies. His work focuses on how the structure of social networks change during falling fertility, urbanisation, and migration; as well as, how social networks vary over the human life-course. Tamás’s current projects include the origins of inequality regulation; why the behavioural rules between women and men vary so much across cultures; and the evolutionary foundations of sharing behaviour.
Tamás is a professor at the Centro de Investigación de Complejidad Social at the Universidad del Desarollo in Santiago de Chile, teaches economics at Trinity College, University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and is affiliated with the Population Studies Research Institute in Helsinki, Finland. He is a fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute.

Marc Buckley spoke to the award-winning and international best-selling author, John Strelecky, for this new OnePoint5Media + Innovators Magazine show, Inside Ideas. The creator of the Big Five for Life concept, John has sold over 4 million books worldwide, which have been translated into more than 40 languages.
John P. Strelecky is my guest on Episode 1 of Inside Ideas with Marc Buckley.
John is a #1 Bestselling inspirational author. His books have been translated into over forty languages and sold more than four million copies worldwide.
They have won bestseller of the year awards four times and collectively spent more than seven hundred weeks on bestseller lists, including more than two hundred weeks in the #1 spot.
John’s entry into the world of writing began following a life-changing experience when he was thirty-three years old. From that, he was inspired to sit down and tell the story shared in his first book- The Why Café.
Within a year after its release, word of mouth support from readers had spread that book across the globe - inspiring people on every continent, including Antarctica.
John went on to write many other books including two sequels to “The Why Café”, the “The Big Five for Life” series of books, and more.
When he isn’t writing, John is often outdoors in his kayak, riding a surfboard, playing beach volleyball, or traveling the world with his family. Their longest adventure was a year-long backpacking trip to see animals in the wilds of Africa, Malaysia, and Australia.
