Here in Part 2 we dig a little deeper into the complexities of ‘being’ in a rainforest, exploring how to nurture and live in it from a Māori worldview, and what makes up the various layers of connection and consciousness found within it.  This podcast brought to your ears with the support of

I become the pupil, as Che Wilson shares some special stories with me, teaching me about the ngahere (our temperate rainforest). Encoded in my DNA is the fact my ancestors came to Aotearoa from the UK, primarily to cut down the rainforest. Che’s ancestors had learned to live in the rainforest and understand and work with its intricate inter-relationships. In Part 1 of a 2-part series we explore what binds and connects parts of the ngahere together, and the role of wai (water) within the rainforest.

In this episode I go on an epic road trip to visit David Harper, who farms in the foothills of the Southern Alps in a wee place called Windwhistle. David has been a Collective Intelligence member for about four years and has a true affinity to the land he cares for. He shares a ‘delicious’ story about his passion for finishing premium lambs for Lumina, which is done in a way that unlocks the healthy omega-3 fatty acids found in the animals’ meat.

Car fanatic Rob Garratt and I explore a question many of us are wrestling with, “How do we make a good decision on what car to buy when we look at all the energy challenges we've got in front of us?” Rob is the most knowledgeable car person I know. I’m interviewing him as he doesn't sell cars, he services them and he’s a perfectionist - which for a customer is a real positive. I love seeing his professionalism at work and admire his skill in keeping so well informed about the changes in his industry.

Māori researcher, Dr Anthony Cole (Ngāti Koroki, Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga) and I are polar opposites. Yet when I learnt about his background and whakapapa, I realised he and I have a lot in common. We've both taken a while to grow into ourselves! He tells of going from a young, unemployed Māori man, to someone with a PhD - all in just a few years. How he goes about applying his knowledge is both extraordinary and inspirational, and his work will make a huge difference to Aotearoa.

I’m excited to bring you this chat with another of our , solar engineer , one of our younger, incredibly innovative members that has a huge social conscience. His Collective Intelligence team has been together for 15 years and has a rich history of nurturing innovators. Hamish absolutely embodies the team’s whakapapa, having applied his skill and passion to many successful renewable energy projects. This podcast brought to your ears with the support of

We kick off Series 4, and our new look, with a kōrero with two outstanding musicians. and took our vision to create a unique people-focussed ecosystem (inspired by mother nature), and turned it into a living, breathing piece of music for us. When I heard Te Wao Manahua - within the flourishing forest, it gave me such an amazing feeling…because they had created a magical space, one that we want to work in and connect others into. Have a listen. Not only to the sounds of te ngahere, the forest, but also to the story of their creative process, and the similarities it has with the creative growth process we practise in our Collective Intelligence teams.  This podcast brought to your ears with the support of
