A
Hi
everybody-
this
is
Christian
Shearer
from
regen
Network
and
just
give
me
another
project
update
I'm
here
in
San
Francisco
I'm
here
for
the
seed
and
transform
conferences
that
just
completed
today,
conferences
went
really
well.
Is
it
great
to
connect
to
the
community
there?
Let
me
start
out
with
a
little
product
development
update
there.
Our
dev
team
is
putting
the
final
touches
on
the
Green
River
release
and
starting
to
work
on
clarifying
the
specs
and
time
frame
for
the
Housatonic
release.
A
So
kind
of
working
on
that,
so
we
are
launching
our
the
fourth
version
of
our
test
net
of
our
ledger
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
and
this
one
is
going
to
be
live
with
validators
from
the
cosmos
community.
We
have
a
broad
set
of
validators
from
that
community
that
are
leaned
in
we're,
really
we're
really
honored
and
appreciate
being
able
to
spend
the
time
communicating
with
them
about.
A
You
know
how
to
do
this
really
well
and
the
fact
that
they've,
a
number
of
them
have
committed
to
being
validators
on
our
chain,
so
we're
absolutely
excited
to
to
learn
and
work
alongside
with
them.
If,
if
there's
others
out
there
on
this
call,
who
are
you
know
currently
validating
on
other
proof
of
stake,
networks
or
interested
in
validating
on
the
region,
region,
ledger
region
network
chain?
We
would
love
to
chat
with
you
about
it.
Please
connect
with
our
telegram
channel.
A
A
We
would
end
in
it
along
the
lines
of
participating
as
a
validator
we'd
love
to
get
more
community
participation
and
eyes
on
our
code
as
we're
building
it.
So
please
go
there,
a
github
repository,
we'd
love
to
have
you
check
out
our
issue
tracker
and
participate
in.
You
know
helping
us
move
this
functionality
along.
It
really
takes
a
community
to
make
this
really
work.
So
if
you're,
a
dev
that
has
the
know-how
and
interest
to
get
involved.
Please
do
we're
all
about
that.
A
That's
something
that's
meant
to
be
coming
after
you've
taken
your
permaculture
design
course
so
check
out
earth
activist
training,
org
and
and
see
what
she's
up
to
it's
awesome
to
be
connected
with
her.
We
hope
that
our
functionality
will
help
her
succeed
and
help
all
those
folks
that
are
inspired
by
her
work
to
to
move
forward
in
creating
impact
on
the
landscape.
A
A
couple
of
blogs
that
have
come
out
this
this
week
in
the
past
week
from
our
community
wills
all
did
a
critique
and
narrative
inspired
by
the
book
punished
by
rewards,
which
is
super
interesting
for
him
to
be
doing
that,
because
you
know
the
what
we're
building
is
a
contracting
platform
whereby
we
often
say
farmers
are
being
rewarded
for
their
impacts
and
for
their
positive
impacts
on
the
environment.
Well,
there's
there's
all
sorts
of
you
know
complication
both
in
terms
of
how
do
we?
A
How
do
we
incentivize
you
know
intrinsic
the
intrinsic
values
and
intrinsic
motivation
towards
creating
positive
change
in
the
world
versus
having
financial
rewards
that
are
completely
extrinsically
motivated,
so
will
does
a
great
job
of
kind
of
talking
to
that
in
his
blog
post.
Up
on
medium,
you'll
also
find
the
links
to
that
down
below
in
the
in
the
comments
of
this
video
and
then
Kyle
birch
who's,
our
economist,
at
regen
network,
created
a
blog
post,
called
expanding
the
set
of
feasible
allocations.
What
economics
can
tell
us
about
mobilizing
group
action?
It's
also
pretty
interesting.
A
Look
under
the
under
the
hood,
a
bit
with
one
of
our
economists
about
how
we're
thinking
about
you
know,
shifting
the
world
through
financial
incentives,
etc.
So
so,
where
are
we?
Where
have
you
been
in
the
past
couple
weeks?
Since
our
last
update,
we
were
in
New,
York
City.
Was
it
yeah?
Just
last
week
at
blockchain
week
in
New,
York
City
we
and
we
went
to
the
token
summit.
We
hung
out
with
a
lot
of
the
Kosmos
community.
A
We're
really
excited
to
be
leaning
in
with
them,
as
I
said
earlier,
guys
great
great
event:
I
met
a
bunch
of
people
made
some
potential
interesting
connections
in
terms
of
partnerships,
a
couple
of
interesting
connections,
potentially
in
terms
of
fundraising
and
and
we're
just
coming
out
of
there
really
fired
up.
We
one
of
the
things
that
we're
aiming
to
do
while
we
are
in
New
York
for
blockchain
week,
was
to
validate
a
few
of
our
assumptions
around
our
token
model
when
we
interviewed
I,
don't
know
probably
eight
or
ten
different
folks
sharing
with
them.
A
What
we
were
currently
thinking
and
then
got
there,
got
their
reflections
and
upgrades
on
that
model,
and
so
are
really
honing
in
on
that
this
week,
to
get
that
finalized
for
for
a
token,
offering
that
we're
currently
working
on.
So
following
that
I
flew
directly
to
to
Denver
and
drove
with
a
colleague
Daniel
of
mine
over
to
Aspen
for
something
called
Earth's
call.
A
The
Ellen
MacArthur
Foundation
put
put
on
this
event,
and
it
was
incredible
they
paid
for
everybody,
for
everyone
stay
everyone
that
came
to
the
event
had
full
cup
full
cost
covered,
and
they
were
just
trying
to
convene
the
most
leading
minds
and
hearts
around
the
strategy
to
reverse
global
climate
change,
and
it
was
pretty
pretty
awesome
event
again
tons
of
amazing
connections,
tons
of
overlap
with
what
we're
doing
in
tons
of
validation
for
for
the
product
that
we're
building.
Another
really
cool
aspect
of
that
event
is
they
put
on
it?
A
The
Earth's
call
concert
which
you
can
look
up
on
YouTube.
You
want
to
check
it
out,
but
headlining
that
concert
was
Patti
LaBelle,
which
was
super
special
to
be
able
to
see
her
in
concert.
You
know
she's
I
think
she's
a
little
bit
older
than
70
years
old
now
and
she
just
rocked
it
on
stage
she
came
out
and
saying:
John,
Lennon's,
Imagine
and
she's,
saying
somewhere
over
the
rainbow
and
some
point.
A
She
threw
the
mic,
stand
across
the
stage
and
kicked
off
our
shoes
and
really
got
fired
up,
but
in
addition
to
Patti
LaBelle
Ladysmith
Black
Mambazo
was
also
there.
Who
is
the
band
that
black
that
backed
up
Paul
Simon
on
Graceland?
They
were,
they
were
incredible,
then
the
great
Alan
Parsons
was
also
there.
He's
he's
he's
done
tons
of
things
in
his
career,
one
of
them
that
I
appreciate
the
most
is
he
was
the
producer
on
the
Dark
Side
of
the
Moon
that
Pink
Floyd
album
that
that
you
know
is
just
incredible.
A
Of
course,
Mickey
Hart
was
also
there,
which
was
the
drummer
for
the
Grateful
Dead
Colby
Kelly
who's
known.
You
know
not
some
someone
that
I'm
a
huge
fan
of
but
she's
a
also
an
amazing
musician.
She
she
sang
some
beautiful
songs
and
then
there
was.
This
group
called
the
Compton
choir
that
that's
sang.
A
This
is
a
group
of
about
15
to
20
girls
from
Compton
from
the
age
13
through
18
that
came
out
and
sang
some
like
beautiful
song,
music
and
they're,
all
singing
acapella,
and
then
one
by
one
that
step
up
and
do
solos
and
each
of
them
just
had
an
incredible
voice.
Just
unbelievable
made
the
hairs
on
my
arms
stand
up.
A
Beautiful
was
a
really
awesome
event,
really
appreciated
it
check
out
Earth's
call
they're
going
to
be
putting
out
a
request
for
Proposal,
soon
and
I've
committed
to
giving
away
50
million
dollars
towards
the
best
climate
change
reversal.
Climate
change
mitigation
projects
out
there,
so
we're
certainly
going
to
be
submitting
a
grant
grant
proposal
when
that
comes
out,
and
you
should
too,
if
you're
working
on
something
immediately
following
Earth's
call,
we
I
landed
in
San
Francisco
I
met
up
with
our
product
designer
Ron
Stein
Hertz
at
seed
seed
2019,
which
is
an
impact
investment
event.
A
One
of
the
big
focuses
there
is
equity
in
conclusion,
which
is
something
I'm,
you
know
being
a
a
white
CEO
of
a
technology
company
I'm
really
interested
in
continuing
to
learn
and
continue
to
be
humble
about
how
it
is
that
I
show
up
in
the
world
and
making
sure
that
I'm
not
perpetuating
the
the
the
diverse
the
lack
of
diversity
and
the
oppression
that
has
come
come
before.
You
know
and
I'm
sure
that
I'm
doing
that
in
perfectly
this
time
and
I
want
to
continue
growing.
My
capacity
to
show
up.
A
You
know
in
a
way
that
that
uplifts,
the
well-being
of
all
those
around
me
and
right
after
C
2019
was
transformed
in
2019.
It
just
got
over
today:
transform
was
a
conference
hall
that
brought
kind
of
brought
together
the
community
of
circular
economy,
the
community
community
around
regenerative
business.
Carol
Sanford
was
one
of
the
keynote
speakers
at
the
very
beginning
kind
of
set
up
the
tone
for
the
whole
community.
A
She
is
a
friend
and
mentor
of
mine
and
of
our
company,
were
you
know
using
a
lot
of
her
frameworks
and
her
framing
for
how
to
run
regen
network
as
a
regenerative
business
at
transform,
19
I
led
I
spoke
on
a
plenary
on
technology
and
service
of
regenerative
agriculture.
I
think
the
thing
went
pretty
well.
I
didn't
have
very
much
time,
but
I
tried
to
engage
the
people
in
the
room
to
really
consider
you
know
what
does
agriculture
look
like
when
you,
when
you
engage
in
it
in
a
extract
value
mindset?
A
What
how
is
it
different
when
you
look
at
it
from
a
you
know,
solve
problems
paradigm
or
you're
just
trying
to
like
mitigate
the
harm?
That's
already
been
happening.
What
does
it
look
like
when
you
come
at
it
from
a
do
good
paradigm
or
a
paradigm?
That's
characterized
by
a
set
of
ideals,
about
what's
right
in
the
world
and
how
is
it
different
when
you
then
go
to
a
paradigm
of
regeneration?
A
Yeah
I
thought
think
the
panel
went
really
well
and
then
immediately
following
that
I
led
and
facilitated
a
session
with
indigenous
designs,
which
is
a
fashion
company
working
with
indigenous
peoples
in
Central
and
South
America,
and
they
are
very
interested
in
trying
to
provide
those
folks
who
actually
create
the
the
you
know
produced
the
wool
weave
the
fabric,
so
the
clothing,
all
those
in
the
production
change.
What
they'd
really
like
to
see
is
that
those
folks
actually
have
ownership
and
the
company
and
have
equity,
that's
proving
to
be
very
legally
challenging.
A
So
what
we've
been
talking
with
them
about
is
is
using
blockchain
technology
in
a
transparency
in
the
supply
chain
to
equate
to
all
the
folks
that
added
value
to
that
garment,
getting
a
little
profit
share
on
every
sale.
So
it
was
pretty
interesting
to
dig
into
that
and
about
what
that
would
entail
in
terms
of
our
technology
and
then
what
are
all
the
added
benefits
that
could
come
from
that
great
panel.
A
The
the
group
that
was
really
really
really
engaged
so
I've
got
a
another
event
tomorrow
with
Google
jog
Landsberg
from
the
Regenesis
group,
about
how
our
mind
and
what
what
pattern
of
mind
we
can
bring
to
our
engagement
with
natural
systems.
I'm
really
cool
too
I'm
really
excited
just
to
be
a
participant
in
that
and
and
hopefully
grow
the
capacity
of
mine
to
engage
with
natural
systems
in
a
way
that
is
enlivening
and
and
deeply
enriching.
A
Now
that's
happening
tomorrow
on
Tuesday
regen
network
is
hosting
an
event
here
in
the
Bay
Area
up
in
Mill
Valley,
where
we're
just
bringing
together
folks
and
and
introducing
them
to
the
technology
that
we're
building
and
trying
to
get
get
to
know
the
community
out
here
after
that
I'm
flying
to
Detroit
for
the
sustainable
brands.
2019
conference
I
spoke
at
the
conference
last
year
and
looking
forward
to
digging
in
again
this
year,
I'm
speaking
on
a
panel
about
regenerative
culture
with
the
sustainability
directors
from
dr.
Bronner's
from
General
Mills
and
from
Dan
own.
A
So
it's
it's
gonna,
be
a
really
engaging
conversation
as
bringing
up
the
concepts
of
regenerative,
organic
certification
or
the
focus
of
regenerative
agriculture,
mostly
on
on
soil
carbon.
You
know
growing
the
organic
matter
in
the
soil.
So
how
do
we
in
in
any
of
these
cases?
How
do
we
encourage
the
rapid
adoption
of
regenerative
agriculture
strategies?
A
And
so
that's
going
to
be
a
super
engaging
conversation
if
you're
interested
in
going
just
search
for
sustainable
brands,
Detroit
on
Google,
and
you
can
find
out
more
about
that
conference
and
if
you
live
in
Detroit
and
are
engaged
there,
please
let
me
know
who
we
should
be
meeting.
You
know
I'd
love
to
get
introductions
to
folks
that
you
think
would
be
a
good
good
partner,
fit
with
region
Network.
A
So
reach
out
to
me
again
find
us
on
our
telegram,
channel
and
and
ping
me
there
I'm
just
gonna
finish:
I
wanna
I
was
looking
for
a
poem
or
a
quote:
I
wanted
to
share
about
about
agriculture
and
I
in
it,
and
that
song
turn
turn
turn
from
Pete
Seeger
that
came
out
in
the
late
50s
came
up
on
my
search
and
I
looked
into
it.
It's
really
interesting.
The
lyrics,
except
for
the
title,
turn
turn
turn
turn
which
is
kind
of
repeated
throughout
the
song.
A
Our
adapted
basically
word
for
word
for
word
from
the
first
eight
verses
of
the
third
chapter
of
the
biblical
book
of
Ecclesiastes,
so
I'm
not
generally
a
person
to
be.
You
know,
quoting
the
Bible
very
frequently
I
think
this
quote
is
pretty
pretty
relevant
in
our
time
right
now,
so
so
check
this
out
to
everything.
