Thomas Schindler

Building a Flywheel for the Regenerative Economy

Thomas Schindler explains how a childhood steeped in ecology and systems thinking led him to build a synergized ‘flywheel’ of interlocking for-profit and nonprofit ventures—including Delodi, Motherland Earth, and the Initiative for the Regenerative Economy—designed to mutually reinforce each other toward systemic transformation.

Systemic Change

How do we get our hands dirty in building a strong ecosystem that will benefit the world?

In today’s podcast we explore:

We dive into Thomas Schindlers’ biography and sketch some of the defining turning points from childhood, adolescence, and adulthood that connect to his initiative. What comes after the liminal/sense-making web?  How do we get our hands dirty in building a good world?  Different projects involving the flywheel and the levers for systemic change, how these projects started, and how are these invitations transforming communities and ways of life? Parts of the flywheel :  https://www.delodi.net/ https://motherland.earth https://www.gita.global  Initiative for the Regenerative Economy –  https://regenerativemarktwirtschaft.org  https://pirate.partners/ What could be a wild card look like that drastically unlocks more torque on the engine going full circle? When do we dare to take a daringly positive outlook beyond the collective multi-crises we are currently facing, what would the levers be that made us create a future in peace, ecological health, and abundance with all sentient beings on this beautiful planet? Thomas Schindler

A childhood dominated by dinner table conversations around ion channels, power microscopy, nuclear war, and ecosystems collapse left its marks. Instead of becoming a rockstar, which had been the original plan, Thomas became an entrepreneur driven by applying science and technology’s power to make the planet a good place. This led to a series of for-profit and non-profit organizations, initiatives, and projects toward that objective which can be explored on his website.
