With this episode, we’re excited to officially l With this episode, we’re excited to officially launch Season Two of the podcast; and we are thrilled to have Greg Watson as our guest to kick things off! Greg is the Director of Policy and Systems Design at the Schumacher Center for a New Economics and a self-described life-long student. He has spent nearly 50 years studying systems thinking as inspired by Buckminster Fuller and has worked to apply that understanding to achieve a more just and sustainable world. In this episode, you’ll hear more about Greg’s amazing biography and his involvement in many future-bearing and life-bearing initiatives as he and Hawthorne Valley’s Executive Director and podcast host Martin Ping take a deep dive on the topics of systems thinking and new economics, creating new forms of cooperation, the wisdom of nature and so much more. We’d like to express our gratitude to @tierrafarmretail, a family-owned manufacturer and distributor of organic dried fruits and nuts that puts the people they serve and the planet we share before all else, for their continued generous support of this podcast.
