When Future-Compatible Business Meets Polycollapse with Alice Kalro

Post-growth economist Donnie Maclurcan joins host Jeni Miles to explore why systems transformation requires moving from thinking to feeling. From not-for-profit business models to the circulation of money and power, Donnie reveals how embodied wisdom might be our most revolutionary tool against extractive capitalism and why slowing down in urgent times could be the key to creating regenerative systems.

Host Jeni Miles speaks with Joy Njeri, a systems change facilitator in Kenya, about breaking dependency cycles in African business development. They explore how indigenous wisdom and community-centred approaches create sustainable models that avoid perpetuating colonial patterns. Njeri highlights the problems with foreign funding dependencies, explains how to leverage traditional community assets, and advocates for redefining success beyond Western metrics. Discover how business can reconnect with living systems and community wellbeing.

In this uncompromising conversation, host Jeni Miles speaks with Siobhan Strode, advocacy consultant and founder of This Sister Speaks, about how our electoral system has been captured by corporate interests and what we can do about it.
