Can a polluting, industrial factory begin to act like a forest? In 1994, Ray Anderson, CEO of the carpet-tile company Interface, Inc., read a book that hit him like "a spear in the chest". He set out to transform a petroleum-based business from the inside out.

What if fire — the very force that threatens to take everything — is also nature's oldest teacher of renewal? After flames came within two miles of our family cottage, and a summer of fire scorched three continents, REGENERATE asks what scorched earth can teach us about coming back stronger — as people, as leaders, as a species buying time for life to adapt.

You've built real success — yet Sunday nights still carry a quiet dread. What if Monday became the day you couldn't wait for? Drawing from his Regenerate YOU! playbook, Capt. David walks you through the four circles of Ikigai — what you love, what you're great at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for — and the daily practice that turns dread into direction. Purpose isn't a destination you arrive at. It's an adventure you live into, one day at a time. REGENERATE is broadcast live M...

How do you close the gap between what you say you want and how you're actually living? This Monday, Capt.
