The Seventh Generation: Recent Episodes
Benjamin Topiel
The name of this podcast comes from the Haudenosaunee philosophy of considering the consequences of our decisions seven generations from now. Imagine if our policymakers had even half the foresight of these indigenous peoples. What if we integrated this principle into everything from energy to healthcare, agriculture to education? This podcast is dedicated to exploring this question by examining innovative ideas with the leaders who inspire them.
