Approaching regenerative tipping points? With award-winning film maker, Damon Gameau
Welcome to a new year of The RegenNarration. And what a year it’s shaping up to be. But before we get into that, I wanted to take a brief moment here to admit to feeling a little flat. And by extension, to explain the delayed start to the podcast this year. Some sad and in some ways seismic changes have consumed me in recent times. And really, these changes relate to everything this podcast is about. So this episode starts on that note, before leading in to a conversation spanning a spectrum of spectacular efforts to regenerate the systems and stories we live by.
“And if you did a search of all the words that were said during those thousands of interviews, community was the number one thing that came up. That people wanted community again. And they wanted decision making, about the nuance of their region, made by the people who live in that region. That was something that was uniting the political left and right, this idea of re-empowerment again. And I felt incredibly hopeful. ”
Kind enough to join me in this sweeping primer for the year is friend, supporter of the podcast, and masterfully accomplished director of That Sugar Film and 2040, Damon Gameau. We talk about some of what’s on, what’s coming on, and how we’re seeing the growing momentum towards regenerative tipping points.
Dedicated to Dad.
