About the podcast
Three Elders explore how to renew the world we helped mess up. This podcast is dedicated to regenerative conversations about the future of humanity and planet. We know we need to re-think the current paradigm. Each episode explores how we can find a positive future forward for society and for ourselves. We explore the question: "What is the Way Forward?" We don’t have the answers, but we hope to stimulate all of us to imagine what is possible. We host a wide variety of guests – people at the leading edge of their field and willing to think out of the box. With them, we engage into a place of open curiosity. Topics include a wide range of issues including environmental change, technology, governance, organizational design, sustainability, international peace, agriculture, and personal renewal.

I have 3KWh of solar panels on my roof and 5KW of battery. If I don’t have enough solar to charge the battery it recharges at night on a really cheap...
