In this episode, Kidd sits down with Joshua Harrison — Director of the Center for the Study of the Force Majeure at UC Santa Cruz and co-founder of Leaf Island — for a conversation that’s equal parts brain fuel and heart food.
They dive into the world of regenerative design, exploring how cities can actually heal the planet by weaving nature back into their walls, rooftops, and streets. From the Native concept of Seven Generation Thinking to the timeless saying “Blessed are those who plant trees under whose shade they will never sit,” Joshua reminds us what it means to design for the future, not just survive the present.
This one’s a warm, Wisdom-filled exchange — a hug with a ton of knowledge — about how science, art, and compassion can merge to reshape our cities, our systems, and our souls.
