Recorded during the first 100 days of the new Trump administration, Raphael speaks with Ariana Gómez, an expert in eco-anxiety, climate adaptation, and the ethics of artificial intelligence, about the impending collapse of the current global system, and how we as humans and leaders of brands and organizations can navigate the emerging world with our full humanity.

At a moment of unrelenting challenge and change, Ariana sees the promise of something different – a renaissance.

“For me, imagining a future is like a renaissance,” says Ariana. “We are the Da Vinci’s of that new renaissance. We get to invent and reinvent and redesign everything.”

But first, she argues that business leaders and brands must create space for grief, curiosity, connection, and community. Because our emotional well-being and the well-being of the world around us will always be interconnected.

Tune in to learn:

• How historical moments of collapse provide a roadmap for resilience
• Lessons from Joanna Macy’s ‘Work That Reconnects’ and the spiral methodology
• How to imagine a future of community and symbiotic relationships with nature
