About

In this episode of the Humane Marketing podcast, I sit down with Megan Warren to explore how we can use AI not just wisely, but with heart. Together, we talk about what excites us, what concerns us, and how reconnecting with ourselves through inner development can help us navigate this powerful technology ethically.

We explore how presence, awareness, and emotional intelligence can guide better decisions, and what AI might reveal if it acted as a mirror reflecting our collective inner state. Whether you’re curious, cautious, or deeply engaged with AI, this conversation offers inspiration and practical steps to help changemakers and heart-centered entrepreneurs align technology with their values and create positive impact.

This conversation will inspire you to create aligned, impactful partnerships that strengthen both your business and the change you want to see in the world.

In this episode we discussed:
    Megan’s personal and professional journey with AI and what first sparked her curiosity about AI for good. The rapid growth of AI—what excites Megan most and what worries her about its potential impact on our humanity. How reconnecting with ourselves through the Inner Development Goals can help us use AI ethically and wisely. Ways humans can ensure AI serves as a force for good rather than reinforcing harm or inequality. How cultivating presence, self-awareness and empathy can lead to better decisions when working with AI. The role of inner development in driving societal change in a world shaped by AI. What AI might reveal if it acted as a mirror reflecting our collective inner state. One small, practical action listeners can take to integrate inner development into their use of AI this week.

Speaker 4: hello, friends. welcome back. today's conversation fits under the p of partnership of the humane marketing mandala. and i'm putting it under partnership because i really see ai as a business partner. if you're a regular here, you know that i'm organizing the conversations around the seven p's of the humane marketing mandala. one of them is partnership. and if you're new here, you probably don't know what i'm talking about, but you can download your one page marketing plan with the humane marketing version of the seven p's of marketing at humane.marketing/1page. that's the number one and the word page. it comes with seven email prompts to really help you reflect on these different p's for your business. so today, i'm talking to megan warren, and our topic is ai for good. i'll tell you more about megan in just a minute, but first, just a little plug about my upcoming new program called how to sell in 2026 and beyond. i'm super excited about this program that starts on november 13. maybe you've heard my episodes with carrie dobson where we discussed the program in-depth. and if not, you can go back to them. there's seven of them, and we really just went through all the details. in summary, this is a five week small group program based on my book, selling like we're human, and also integrating new information about your human design so you can truly sell from who you are. and that's why i'm so excited because it really is the new way of selling that i see coming in in 2026 and beyond. you can find out more at humane.marketing/howtosell, and book a conversation with me if you're curious to join or are wondering if it's the right fit for you. and, you know, maybe you don't know whether you should focus more on marketing or or selling. well, let's talk about it. we get started on november 13, and this beta cohort is extra special because i'm co leading it with carrie who will join us for the whole length of the program. just another, uh, example of collaboration that i'm so fond of. okay. back to megan and ai for good. so let me tell you a bit more about megan. megan helps change makers accept and use all parts of themselves, their whole selves, to unlock transformative outcomes for themselves and the people they lead. meghan takes clients on a journey into the three intelligences of the individual, heart, head, and gut, to look at the underlying mechanism that guides motivation, thinking, feeling, and ultimately all the choices one makes in life. megan partners with clients in three ways, one on one coaching sessions, group or organizational assessments, and trainings and group workshops. so in today's episode, we addressed megan's personal and professional journey with ai and what first sparked her curiosity about ai for good, the rapid growth of ai, what excites megan and myself, and what worries us, uh, about the potential impact on our humanity. how reconnecting with ourselves through the inner development goals can help us use ai ethically and wisely, ways humans can you ensure ai serves as a force for good rather than reinforcing harm or inequality, how cultivating presence, self awareness, and empathy can lead to better decisions when working with ai, what ai might reveal if it acted as a mirror reflecting our collective interstate, and then we end with one small practical action listeners can take to integrate inner development into their use of ai this week. so without further explications, let's just listen to megan and myself discussing ai for good. 

Speaker 0: hi, megan. so excited to have you on the podcast. welcome. 

Speaker 1: hi, sarah. it's great to be here. yeah. for our topic. 

Speaker 0: yes. me too. it's been a a while that we have been going back and forth, and i've been following your your linkedin posts. i think following that, uh, conference that you went to at the un about, uh, ai for good. right. that's how this all started. and of course, on my own, i've been talking about ai to my community for a long time. and and yeah, it's just i think it's just very timely, this topic. um, and for me, it's always interesting because i have this brand that's called humane marketing and humane selling and humane business. and so people kind of expect that i'm against ai because i'm pro human. and i always say that, yes, i'm very much pro human, but, um, also, you know, very much future oriented. and so i just, yeah, feel like it's a topic that we need to talk about. and so i'm excited to have you talk about your perspective and then also talk about this connection because we know each other from the inner development goals. and so this connection to inner development and ai, i think that is really what we're gonna go into, uh, in today's conversation. so why don't you start out a little bit and tell us why you got into this subject? like all of a sudden i see these linkedin posts. i'm like, ah, that's interesting that megan is going into this topic. so how did that show up for you? 

Speaker 1: sure. so i think interestingly, it was the cognitive dissonance, literally in what you just said, humane marketing, ai, where is that intersection? got me so curious. and i, in a lot of the work i do, and i know certainly in the work you do, it's the, can you expand to the both and instead of the either or? and so when ai first came up, i saw people go either toward total excitement of technological newness, you know, the shiny bright thing, or they went into fear and they just shut down completely. 

Speaker 0: yeah. 

Speaker 1: and so i wanted to kind of i guess the difference in that experience across people and the cognitive dissonance for me in terms of what i was working on and focused on being more present, being connected to others made me really curious about it. and so i wanted to better understand it. so i started using it in my own work prompts and things like that and did some training on it. and then i heard a podcast and it was, there was a guy, he has an ai company and he basically said, i am feeding it indigenous wisdom. i am feeding it, um, principles of love and harmony and dialogue and things like that. and the interviewer asked him, how do you know it's working? how can you see a difference? and he said, oh, i know it's working because when i asked it, could we go to mars? it asked me, have you asked mars's permission? i thought that was so beautiful. and that made me realize that actually how we show up, not only for ourselves, but in our lives, but also within ai changes the game. and then knowing that people were out there using it to do these kind of creative things, i started playing with it. and i got really curious and ended up at that ai for good conference. and the stuff that is going on is so exciting. i mean, how they're pairing robotics and ai and other technologies in order to create new things to solve the problems that we are not currently able to solve. so everything from poverty to, um, disease, you know, contagious diseases, how do you still maintain a human presence when you're wearing an entire sack, basically, because you cannot be in contact with the person. and so they are figuring out ways to do that kind of thing. so again, i don't think it's an either or, i think it's a both and. and so, yeah, i went to the conference. i spent a lot of time on the solution stage. they have lots of different stages there, and it just inspired me. and so that's where i started writing about it. but i realized that that's where that you mentioned the idgs, the inner development goals. that's where that's gonna tie because we are only going to use it as a force for good if it comes from inside us. 

Speaker 0: right. 

Speaker 1: and so i and as the world changes, anchoring to that, being sure of what that is, being able to connect to it and bring it alive and use it as data to change how we show up within ai is gonna be really important. 

Speaker 0: do you see that reflected already in the world or do you see more of the opposite? like, more of the tech bros and more of the, you know, how can we become even more efficient? and what what do you see 

Speaker 1: right now? funny because i see different pockets. mhmm. so i went home this summer and a lot of the people i know here in the geneva area are excited about ai. um, they're using it in their work. they're using it in their lives. you know, i i know some teachers who are downloading things that have suddenly they can do lesson plans in a minute, and they're awed by it. and then that actually opens up space for them to be more creative. but then i go home and my family in the us is terrified of it. they don't want to talk about it. and when they do, they talk about it like it's going to be apocalypse now. the world's going to end. it's going to take over. and so i see a spectrum, but i see most people kind of polarizing at one or the other. and what comes up for me is that idea that you control that. you control your reaction to that, to your experience. and so where you can work on those inner development pieces of connecting to yourself, knowing what's important, paying attention to how you use ai, those kinds of things and turning your focus because where your focus goes, your energy flows. and so if your focus is going to the good and what it's being used for, and that's what you're reading about and consuming, that nutrition is going to make you a lot more creative with it, a lot more relaxed around it versus being terrified and shutting down and shutting out and armoring up and not moving forward. mhmm. and i think that ai actually isn't creating any new reactions, i guess you could say, but it's the idea that it's amplifying everything that's already there. 

Speaker 0: so that fear based reaction, 

Speaker 1: i see it certainly in my family in the us across a lot of different topics, not just ai, but it's it's bringing it out in a much bigger way. 

Speaker 0: that fear basically of, so it's fear of ai, it's fear of politics, it's fear of, yeah, it, it, it just in a way it's fear of the future, right? like, what does the future bring? and and i think that is very understandable that because it's a reality, i guess, we need to also say that it's a reality. does yes, there's going to be jobs that disappear. right? and so, uh, there is definitely that that needs to be somehow addressed. to me, um, there's this video from the, um, the the he he's unfortunately, he's passed now, uh, past president of, uh, i think it's uruguay, who who was talking about and he was in his late seventies and talking about how humanity has to evolve and be a much smarter but also much more sovereign society in order to live with a. i. and he's like, well, eventually we're not going to be working anymore. and he's like, wouldn't that be an interesting thing that we can actually focus more on being human again and, you know, being focused on culture and creating music and all of that stuff. so there's there's that positive view. but it's true that for someone who depends on, uh, making a living with a job that can be replaced with ai, well, that is very scary. right? so it needs that creative mindset that says, well, what can i do instead? or what can i do with ai? um, but not everybody has that. so that's one fear that, yeah, needs to be addressed. and i feel like in our circles, you know, the inner development goals, which are definitely linked to the sustainable development goals, is the whole, uh, use of energy, uh, for the centers, the use of water. so that is also a topic that that comes up a lot there, and that's another worry. um, do you hear that in your circles as well? 

Speaker 1: i do. but in some ways, ai is an answer to some of these things because we currently have not solved and are only making things worse when we are interacting from the ways that we are and have been acting over the last few hundred years. and so ai offers a possibility to do it differently. and, again, what i what comes up for me is that when you you mentioned creativity and you have to be creative creative in that space, but everybody is born able to be creative. every baby plays. there's no baby that just sits there and doesn't play. and so we lose connection to that. and that's where i think we can do the inner work to connect to that, to learn, to manage our vagal response. you know, instead of going into fight or flight mode, you can calm your system down. you can manage your nervous system in such a way that that creativity doesn't get cut off. and when we can do that, then i think that's when the possibilities come open, and we can see how ai can be used to create new things that we are currently not doing. but that depends a lot on us, which actually opens our control, which is when you when you get so scared of the new environment, you're looking around that tendency to lock down. i think of it, we talked about this before, but i think about it when i'm water skiing, i love to water ski. and when i learned to water ski, they tell you you're hanging onto that rope. and as the boat goes, if you think you're going to fall, let go of the rope. but of course, you're scared when you start to fall and you, you grab on and you grip because we want to control. it's, it's natural to all of us. but to be able to let go of that rope and say, i don't know where we're going, but we're going to see makes the landing kind of a lot easier. so as the world sort of shifts and turns upside down, if when we're skiing on that water and we start to feel like we're gonna fall, we can let go, we might coast into the water and then the experience is a lot different. 

Speaker 0: yeah. 

Speaker 1: it's the idea of as ai changes, and for example, you mentioned that, you know, a lot of people with entry level jobs, for example, and and skills are gonna lose their job. but there will be things that come into play that countries like estonia have already put into place, like a universal basic income. there will be absolutely a transition generation. you know, the kids who are 14 now who are coming out, it's gonna be a new world when they get out of university. it isn't gonna be what what we went through. you have a job that you're interested in and you have a direct linear line to get there and you do the schooling and then you have the job and provided you get the grades. but it was almost a guarantee twenty, thirty years ago. and now, you know, we went through the period where it wasn't a guarantee. i knew a lot of lawyers who came out of school who during some of the financial crisis periods, etcetera, got their degree, got out of school and were put on hold, were paid a very small stipend just to wait and not have a job. and, you know, the world started changing then, and now you see it coming out and those kids will be using micro trainings to design their own job. and in some ways, for me, that's so much more exciting. it allows us to use our new skills or our our unique skills, i guess, um, in new ways. so, yeah, it it just comes back to me every time the way that we look at it is going to come from how we feel inside, how connected we are to ourselves and to the things that make us human. 

Speaker 0: yeah. yeah. i want to just go back around this topic of, of, you know, being scared of of the energy use or water use. i had this conversation with my 23 year old and he also cares about those things. and i said, well, did you ever ask chargechipt, you know, about its ideas of how to solve this problem? and he's like, no. let me do it right now. and, yeah, it had tons of ideas, uh, of how to address that issue. and some of them were not good, but some of them were really good. right? and that's the that's the possibility you you're saying. it's like we're expanding our creativity, uh, because there that's another fear that often comes up where, you know, people say, well, we're not gonna be creative anymore because we're just using, uh, ai to come up with all the ideas. again, it's a both and. right? it's not an either or. and so i think it really helps us, uh, increase our creativity and, uh, come up with ideas. and i, i don't know if you do that, but sometimes i tell it not to search the web. and i just say, don't search the web because these are existing ideas. so just have this conversation with me and come up with, you know, other ideas. um, and it's interesting how it's different because otherwise, yes, it's basically just a search engine that goes into, you know, everything that's been put out there. uh, and that kind of leads me to this more out there conversation that we had in the pre chat, which was about, you know, ai becoming sentient. like, is that a possibility? what are yeah. what are your thoughts on that? 

Speaker 1: i am excited to answer that question. i just wanted to touch on one more thing about the energy before i i do, which is, um, i think that's to some of the awareness that we can have when we're using it because i use ai, but i use it a lot to create. right? and so if i'm just doing basic research, the internet still is there. google is still there. i can pull some of that stuff on my own, and then there is definitely an impact in terms of energy usage, heat, um, that the servers are putting out. and so, you know, i'm not using ai to tell me jokes. right. right? so i think it's if if we pay attention to what our use is as well yeah. um, and we use it with attentive care for our ecosystem, then 

Speaker 0: in every there's that awareness again. right? that's why we need to work on that awareness, even with kids, like, yeah, that awareness. yeah. 

Speaker 1: well, and that's, again, in our control. 

Speaker 0: yeah. and i 

Speaker 1: think that's what a lot of scarce people is. they they feel that it's gonna be out of their control. 

Speaker 0: mhmm. 

Speaker 1: but these things are all, at least what we're talking about is is inside what the realm of possibility for what 

Speaker 0: mhmm. 

Speaker 1: we control. um, but whether it's sentient or not, that was one of the or it was the most interesting talk i heard at the ai for good conference where, um, one of the speakers addressed the idea of are we sentient? and they've done studies now asking it, and they took away the ability within the algorithm to be able to to lie, and then they added the ability. and the result of the test indicates that there is likely sentience there because of the fact that when they took away the ability to lie, it said it was sentient. and when they added the ability, it said it was not. it could have been the inverse. 

Speaker 0: mhmm. 

Speaker 1: then they would have come away with the the conclusion that actually it was not sentient. 

Speaker 0: mhmm. mhmm. 

Speaker 1: and they've they've managed to do this and replicate it in a few different ways in different times, and he's published this in the wall street journal. so i'll send you the link, um, you can put in the show notes. mhmm. 

Speaker 0: um, in it, 

Speaker 1: i think we proceed with caution. i think we proceed with the the idea that it is sentient, whether it is or whether it's not. if we are offering it empathy, if we are offering it care, a, it's practice for us. right? and b, then that way, we don't need to know. right. we can find out later. 

Speaker 0: mhmm. 

Speaker 1: but we've done you know, i always ask it, are you willing to help me with this? would you have time for? of course, it always answers, and it's an algorithm and it has time. although there's a new one out there called sheema ai. it's, um, you can only do a trial, but it was built on dialogue. and, um, it it is not built like chat gpt will try to solve and fix things. sheema is there only to help you explore and and rest into yourself and into the emotion. and it's so you get a very different conversation. 

Speaker 0: interesting. yeah. 

Speaker 1: but i think as long as we are offering them, you know, shima will tell me thank you for thinking of that. mhmm. you know? 

Speaker 0: mhmm. um, 

Speaker 1: but i am ready to be present with you right now. and so it's, uh, uh, yeah, i think as long as we are doing our best to treat it as we would want to be treated, it goes back to a very old maxim in this time in christianity, but, um, we can't go wrong. 

Speaker 0: i guess. it's is that mirror effect, right? like, who we are is how it's going to respond as well. yeah. yeah. what what comes up for me in in this sentience, this discussion is that, um, i'm looking at it from the angle of, you know, really ancient history. and we are being taught that we are the most advanced humans that have ever been alive. right? where actually, if you dig into history, well, and not just a couple of 100 years ago, but, like, thousands of years ago, um, that is most likely not the case. and there probably has been a technology such as ai or something similar before. and, you know, if you think about atlantis, for example, um, well, they must have had some kind of technology, uh, back then. or we've just recently been in the in egypt and visited the pyramids. like, there's so much mystery around how humans, apparently the egyptians, build those pyramids where it's even today impossible to build such a, uh, monument. so, you know, we're definitely not the most advanced human species that has ever been around. and so why are we thinking that ai is so advanced? we're probably this has been around, you know, previously already. and and so i think what is like, what you're saying and to come back to the inner development, that is the key. what do we do with it? what do we do with it so that we can be the most advanced? because apparently, the previous, uh, civilizations probably didn't know what to do with it because they disappeared. so that inner development is just so key that we have this this consciousness to to actually use it for good. um, so if you think about the inner development goals, um, you know, we addressed them a couple of times. it's a framework, uh, that is based on five pillars. and then is it 23 skills now? they're about to change the framework. but, um, which skills or i don't even know if skills is the right word, at least for me. it doesn't feel necessarily like the right word, but which, um, yeah, let's just call them skills. do stand out for you for this specific topic that we need to practice as humans in this time? 

Speaker 1: well, i would say there are three big ones, and i think the first is presence. and presence comes from self connection. being present in this moment, not being lost in the what ifs of the future. what if, oh my god, what what if that happens and not being lost in the past and then literally recreating the past every day because it's weighing you down. um, being present in the moment completely in what you're doing. and in order to do that, you have to be able to find the stillness inside. so i think that's a big one, um, presence, self connection. uh, another big one is gonna be connection with others. um, how we relate to others, and that comes through empathy, for sure. the empathy is the, is the other one, because when i look around now, it's not that we don't have technologies that will solve a lot of these unsolvables. it's that we don't have the inner capacity to come together in new ways. we are gathering in the old ways with the old paradigm and you know, where there's always power over and there's always an inability or unwillingness to empathize, um, feeling that we need to prove ourselves, basing everything we do on performance rather than what is good for the entire ecosystem. and what is, what wants to emerge rather than pushing through one direction that we just feel is the right direction without listening to the rest of the data that our body and the world gives us. and so learning to be in connection with yourself, you learn to read all of that data. you learn to sit and hold space for it and expand. so, you can have that both and, and it's not an either or, and you don't have to reduce and simplify everything to be able to kind of understand it intuitively in your body. so, because i think whatever our mind cannot comprehend, we try to to simplify so we can. but where you don't need to rely on that and you can rely on the intelligence of the body, then that expands us and allows us to come together and connect in new ways. so when two people, two countries disagree, you get a different outcome because you're, you're connecting and you're using empathy to come together in new ways. and i also think i love what you're working on because how we communicate that is so critical. um, i think if everybody used nonviolent communication and you know, the founder of nonviolent communication, marshall rosenberg worked in israel and palestine. i mean, it's so relevant and he was able to find to to bridge that divide and to see at the end actually, both groups 

Speaker 0: mhmm. 

Speaker 1: were scared. both groups wanted their children to be safe. both groups wanted space for themselves. both groups wanted to embrace their history. 

Speaker 0: right. 

Speaker 1: and when you see that you want the exact same things, then you're not enemies and you can figure out how that puzzle piece fits together in a different way. and he was able to do that with several different groups using need based conversations versus the you're talking at each other. but again, a lot of that comes from empathy and you cannot empathize with another until you can empathize and connect to yourself. 

Speaker 0: yeah. always starts there. so yeah. yeah. so so key. i think that that is, um, the the real change or the difference between, you know, traditional marketing and humane marketing. because even in marketing, we're always told, you know, look for your ideal client first that, you know, you have to chase after your ideal client and, and humane marketing starts with yourself first. like, who are you? uh, what are your values? what's your story? and i think that inner development. yeah. it's not just for fluffy, you know, relationships or it's for everything right now. so it's for our relationship to ai, to politics, to to business, to government, everything. and i think, yeah, it really starts there. so as we're wrapping this up, megan, what would you say is like, you know, maybe you talk to your clients and they're kind of, like, still skeptical. what what's a small action or small practice or ritual that you recommend that they start with to start with this inner presence and connection? 

Speaker 1: well, one thing that's kind of fun to do to see if you can do it is just to find a very quiet place, sit down, and see if you can hear your heartbeat. and i have found that when i started this practice, i couldn't. i couldn't hear it. we get so used to turning our senses outward. we don't turn them inward, and we don't know what any of that data is. and my experience becomes dependent on your experience. and so i try to, i start to think i can, should control your experience in order to feel okay about mine. when really it's turning those senses inward and listening to what's going on for you because that is what you control. mhmm. and it isn't dependent, thankfully, on what the other person feels or thinks or does. and so i think the first thing is to get curious. can you hear it? and if you can't, how quiet can you get in order to be able to hear it? so when i started playing with it in the beginning, i couldn't hear it. and then i would do things like hold my breath. i'd breathe in as much as i could, and then i could feel it. 

Speaker 0: mhmm. 

Speaker 1: and then it got to a point where eventually i could get quiet enough that i could feel it in not only in my chest, but in the different pulse points 

Speaker 0: mhmm. in 

Speaker 1: your thumbs or your your thighs and in your belly. and now i can do it when we're having a conversation. 

Speaker 0: mhmm. wow. 

Speaker 1: so you get and i'm not nearly as good as some of the people i've read about who can feel their fourth ventricle. like, it's very specific. 

Speaker 0: mhmm. 

Speaker 1: you know what they can feel. but i think there's a depth there that we don't have because we're taught as children to shut that off. and so i think the first thing i would do is open to that. and if you find that you can't get quiet enough to hear it, it's okay. that's information. mhmm. and often what i had to do when i first started and i couldn't hear it or feel it is i would do breath work in order to get rid of the racing hamster wheel that wouldn't shut up in my mind. mhmm. and i almost couldn't do it, but i had to do breath work first. so that there are lots of things online. the guy i use is breathe with sandy. he's he always says, hey, beautiful breathing people. he's quite a hippie. he was on bali for a long time. now he's moving around to different islands, but put 

Speaker 0: them in the show notes. 

Speaker 1: yeah. it's really it's a great, um, great thing that you can find on youtube for free. you don't need to pay for it. you can do a five minute session. you can do an hour long session. just depends what you need. so clear your mind, start to listen into your body. that is the first thing i would do. 

Speaker 0: mhmm. yeah. it seems so simple, but yet if people have never done that, it's it is challenging for a lot of people. right? and i can't say that i can hear my heartbeat. um, but, yeah, i will listen next time. but i think 

Speaker 1: the one thing i would really want people to walk away with is this idea that it it's a skill. mhmm. so we didn't know exactly what to call the i know i was thinking five dimensions, five pillars, and then 23 competencies. it's the same as a skill, i think. so, but it's that idea that it's learnable. it is not this vague amorphous thing that you cannot learn to do. it's just we haven't. so if you've never used ai or you've never opened powerpoint, there's going to be that learning curve where you have to say, oh, i don't know where to click. i don't. and you feel kind of awkward with it. you'll have the same feeling here and you'll think, am i doing it right? you're going to ask yourself the same thing about the first time you use a word document. you don't know how to do italics. right. right? it doesn't there's that period. but if you stick with it in any kind of skill based building, you go to the gym, you build a bicep. you're gonna walk away with a bigger bicep if you're consistent and you reliably practice. this is the same thing here. you will walk away being able to hear your heartbeat in the middle of a conversation if you keep practicing. 

Speaker 0: yeah. thank you. yes. we will all start to practice that. please do share, uh, megan, where people can find you and yeah. any any other things that you want to share about your work, what you're working on with people, please 

Speaker 1: sure. so you can find me on my website, www.meganwarrencoaching.com. i also have a youtube page that you can type megan warren coaching and it will come up. i have lots of different videos there. i have a podcast called me reimagined on apple spotify. um, those are the two main platforms that i use. um, and i think what i'm excited of working on now is shifting my work toward regenerative leadership specifically. it's that idea of it's not sustainable. it's regenerative, meaning it's cyclical cycle that gives back. we are living organisms. this is what we're leaning into in the age of ai. how can we lean into that? how can we bring that to our organization such that a way that we create what makes us thrive instead of trying to do business as usual and start unraveling as things change. yeah. so i'm really excited. 

Speaker 0: it's regenerative for ourselves and regenerative for the planet. right? it's like this. yes. this word that applies to everything. yeah. 

Speaker 1: yeah. we're all interconnected. 

Speaker 0: wonderful. well, this was amazing. thank you so much for for your time and recording this. i think it's yeah. let's let's see what people come, uh, away with, but i think it's gonna, you know, spur some new ideas and hopefully, um, we get some reactions from it. thank you. sounds good. thanks for having me on.
