Their conversation spans the essential permaculture principles and lays the groundwork for an exciting season of guests who show us how they use many of these natural principles to get "there." See you next week for season three, episode one!

First up is a convo between our co-hosts Jamie Hardy—a student and practitioner of permaculture for many years in her personal life, professional career, and volunteer work—and Sonja Ernst, a keen observer with deep experience exploring humans, their behavior, and how context influences outcomes.

Next week we launch season three! Centering on #permaculture as a real-world framework to manage change—growth, decline, cycles of ups and downs, complete transformation—in business, ecosystems, community, really any environment in which humans exist.
