Listen to host Eric Dye & guest John Fullerton discuss the following:

- Capital Institute has been building on eight years of documenting exemplary regeneration projects through its ‘Field Guide to a Regenerative Economy,’ which takes a look inside the Regenerative Communities Network you’ve established in various urban and rural areas across the globe. Please tell us about the overall objectives of the Field Guide.
- The global Regenerative Communities Network spans all continents and provides diverse, place-sourced, and practical tests of alternative economic pathways. Of the seven hubs that have officially launched, where are they actually located and name a few examples of the 50+ projects/enterprises taking place in these hubs.
