    How To Galvanize Impact and Action with Katrin Habenschaden & Christin ter Braak

    How To Galvanize Impact And Action Season 4 - Episode 3 Christin ter Braak - Impact Investor Katrin Habenschaden - Economist Change does not arrive through strategy alone. It arrives through the people willing to live inside the question of how. Here, Christin and Katrin bring two different routes toward the same pursuit. Christin, a yoga teacher, scuba diver, advocate and impact investor, explains how and why she chooses to back the organizations she invests in. Katrin, who served as vice mayor of Munich and now leads sustainability at Deutsche Bahn, works through community engagement to build impact that outlasts any single initiative. What is clear across both paths is that lasting change rarely comes from a single lever. It comes from holding multiple roles and relationships at once, and trusting that influence accumulates through consistency rather than a single decisive act. Where in your own life are you already holding more than one lever for change?   Connect with [y]our2040 Website: www.your2040.com Linktree: Explore all our platforms Credits: Host: Chris Luebkeman Video and Audio: Newsroom Producer: Kinny Tran-Marazza Executive Producer: Jonelle Simunich   Recorded in 2024

    What AI and Quantum Physics Reveal About Science with Tanvi Singh, Zina Cinker & Iris Haberkorn

    What AI and Quantum Physics Reveal About Science Season 4 - Episode 2 Tanvi Singh, Technologist Iris Haberkorn, Food Scientist Zina Jarrahi Cinker - Entrepreneur Action means nothing without movement, and movement means nothing without direction. Here, Tanvi, Iris and Zina bring three distinct fields into the same room: technology, food and quantum computing. Each speaker grounds their work in what is being done today, refusing to let the conversation drift into speculation about a future disconnected from present effort. What this conversation insists on is that influence only matters when it produces something tangible, and that the gap between talking about change and making it happen is where most transformation quietly fails. All three women work inside that gap treating drive and follow through as inseparable from genuine impact. What are you doing today that moves your own work from intention into action?

    How Climate Systems Affect Every Decision Made with Parag Khanna & Sonia Seneviratne

    How Climate Systems Affect Every Decision Made Season 4 - Episode 1 Sonia Seneviratne - Climate Scientist Parag Khanna - Systems Strategist The data we already have is not a verdict. It is an invitation to choose differently. Here, Sonia brings the discipline of a climate scientist, asking us to stay conscious of the changes we have already lived through and those still ahead. Parag brings geography, transport and migration data into the frame, tracing how movement and infrastructure shape the possibilities still open to us. What becomes visible when data and geography meet is not a fixed forecast but a set of live decisions. The numbers describe a direction, not a destination, and what we do with that is up to us. What decisions can your local data advise on? or give insights into?

    How We Regenerate from the Inside Out with Luea Ritter & Brandon Hill

    How We Regenerate from the Inside Out Season 3 - Episode 7 Luea Ritter - Process Designer Brandon Hill - Artist Regeneration begins when lived pain is met with honesty, creativity and shared responsibility rather than avoidance. Ecological urgency collides with personal fracture. In this conversation, we explore regeneration as an embodied practice shaped through human stories. The dialogue brings together Brandon, whose near death accident and long recovery reshaped his sense of purpose, and Luea, whose work bridges ethics, culture and ancestral ways of knowing rooted in place and relationship. What this conversation insists on is that regeneration is a deeply relational process that moves through grief, trauma and care. Personal breakdowns become a threshold where new forms of service and creativity can emerge. Accessibility, art, language and everyday practices carry complex ideas into communities often excluded from intellectual discourse. As individual healing, collective trust and cultural memory converge, regeneration emerges as something you practice daily, with others, even when the path is uncertain.   Connect with [y]our2040 Website: www.your2040.com Linktree: Explore all our platforms Credits: Host: Chris Luebkeman Video and Audio: Newsroom Producer: Kinny Tran-Marazza Executive Producer: Jonelle Simunich   Recorded in 2023

    How Can Institutions Regenerate with Marc Buckley & Pavlina Pavlova

    How Can Institutions Regenerate Season 3 - Episode 6 Marc Buckley - Ecological Economist  Pavlina Pavlova - Circular Economy Expert   A regenerative mindset only becomes real when it reshapes how people meet the future rather than react to it. Sustainability fatigue and policy gridlock are colliding with rising climate volatility. This episode situates the conversation inside a global shift from reduction oriented thinking to models rooted in renewal, with Marc Buckley bringing the long view of someone who has watched international frameworks stall, morph and occasionally break open into possibility, while Pavlina Pavlova anchors the discussion in the daily constraints and ingenuity of small and midsized enterprises. Together they examine why progress has been slow, why local actors often hold more transformative leverage than global institutions, and how regeneration departs from both mitigation and circularity by insisting on systemic abundance rather than managed decline. The shift is from sustainability as an incremental compliance exercise toward business resilience as a lived ecosystem logic, one where real change grows when global vision meets grounded, relational work.

    What Inner Work Teaches Us About Planetary Change with Diego Hangartner, Claudia Roosli & Thomas Crowther

    What Inner Work Teaches Us About Planetary Change Season 3 - Episode 5 Diego Hangartner - Meditation Guide Claudia Roosli - Earth Observation Expert Thomas Crowther - Ecologist A single act of attention can redraw your sense of scale. Planetary change feels both accelerating and uneven. This conversation traces how clarity emerges when you move between the vast view from orbit, the granular work of ecosystems and the interior landscape of the mind, bringing together Tom Crowther, Claudia Roosli and Diego Hangartner as they follow a shared line of inquiry into what shifts when you hold the local and the global in the same frame. What becomes visible is how ground research, satellite vision and lived experience inform one another in real time. The key is in restoring agency at every scale, from community action to the capacity to regulate your own thinking.

    Why Regeneration Needs to Move From Theory to Practice with Daniel Wahl & Christa Hermann

    Why Regeneration Needs to Move From Theory to Practice Season 3 - Episode 4 Daniel Wahl, Advisor, Educator & Activist Christa Hermann - Regenerative Practitioner   A living planet teaches you far more than any abstract model can. Ecological stability is slipping faster than our institutions can adapt. This conversation examines how regeneration becomes real only when it is practiced in specific places with specific people, opening the first dialogue of the gathering as Krista and Daniel ground their work in lived experience. Krista traces her path from geography to soil through a long personal regeneration after a life altering injury. Daniel describes his shift from global mobility to putting down roots on a half hectare agroforestry site in Mallorca, a deliberate choice to engage life as a planetary process expressed through place. What becomes possible is a different question entirely, asking what we notice when we stop abstracting issues and start paying attention to the potential already present in our communities. Systemic change requires both inner reorientation and outer structural shifts, and neither can be rushed without repeating the same patterns that created the crisis. We invite you to consider where, in your own life, the abstract has kept you from noticing what is already alive and waiting to be tended.
