SWE #62 David Roxendal Humble Habitat - Justin Beaver och konsten att bygga på rätt plats
<p>David Roxendal tillbringade 20 år som IT-konsult i Stockholm — duktig på sitt jobb, men innerst inne hungrig på något annat. Det var brodern som drog honom tillbaka, en sommar 2012 på ett permakulturläger i Garpenberg som förändrade allt. Inte ett aha-moment utan ett långt, sammanhängande sådant. Han beskriver det som att komma tillbaka till scouterna — men med mer mening. Det tog inte lång tid innan han aldrig ville gå tillbaka.</p><p><p>This Substack is reader-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.</p></p><p>I dag driver David och hans partner Eliza Humble Habitat, ett 12 hektar stort skogsbruk utanför Garpenberg. Här håller de kurser i vildympning, naturbygge och permakultur, hyr ut stugor och bygger just nu ett Earthship-inspirerat hus med timmer från den egna skogen och lera istället för plast. Bävern finns med som granne och medarbetare.</p><p>David kallar det för att spela med platsen — och menar det bokstavligt. Allt är ett experiment. Allt är på riktigt.</p><p>Det finns en röd tråd i samtalet som är svår att missa: frihet, lek och närvaro. David pratar om hur han vaknar med en inre drivkraft varje morgon, hur han värderar att styra sin egen tid över att tjäna mer pengar, och hur han börjar förstå att ett regenerativt liv kräver lika mycket ett regenerativt socialt liv som en regenerativ jord. Den ensamma vintern på landet är en utmaning han inte blundar för. Lindy Hop är en del av lösningen.</p><p>* Hur en IT-nörd från Stockholm slutade med webbchatt och startade om med lövtäkt, lera och en bäver som granne — och varför han aldrig tittat bakåt</p><p>* Vad ett Earthship-inspirerat hus byggt med egna fallna träd faktiskt innebär — och hur du kan vara med och bygga det nästa vecka</p><p>* Det som ingen pratar om när de romantiserar livet på landet: den regenerativa sociala ekonomin och varför den är minst lika viktig som komposten</p><p>🎧 Lyssna på hela samtalet — David berättar mot slutet om det han kallar “Frankenforest”, ett vildympningsexperiment som börjar blomma för första gången i år. Det är värt att höra.</p><p>🌿 Prenumerera om du vill ha fler samtal med människor som bygger sina liv på riktigt — med händerna i leran, med skogen som granne och med visionen om en annan slags ekonomi.</p><p>📩 Känner du någon som funderar på att byta bana, flytta ut eller bara börja odla? Dela det här avsnittet med dem. Det kan vara precis det de behöver höra just nu.</p><p>Vad skulle hända om du tog en enda liten del av ditt liv och lät den bli mer levande — inte perfekt, bara mer på riktigt?</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://roxproductions.se/">Humble habitat hemsida</a></p><p>Humble Habitat <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/humble.habitat/">Instagram</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/roxorama/">Davids Instagram</a></p><p><p>Thanks for reading!

SWE #61 Amilcare Astone Radici – Från mozzarella till systemförändring
<p>Amilcare Astone lämnade juristkarriären i Neapel, packade ihop sitt liv och startade om i Sverige vid 36 års ålder. Det som verkade vara en enkel affärsidé – att importera mozzarella – förvandlades till något djupare. Han insåg snabbt att varje råvara har en social historia bakom sig: vem odlade den, under vilka villkor, och på vilkens bekostnad? Från dag ett vägrade han samarbeta med producenter som inte var transparenta mot sina anställda.</p><p><p>This Substack is reader-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.</p></p><p>I dag driver Amilcare ett importföretag som banar väg för regenerativt och biodynamiskt odlad mat i Sverige. Han introducerade Europas första olivolja med regenerativ ekologisk certifiering. Men för honom är maten inte bara en produkt – det är ett verktyg för att uttrycka värderingar, bygga relationer och visa att ett annat livsmedelssystem är möjligt. Han ser på jord och människa som oupplösligt sammanflätade, och yrkar på att vi måste återläphabetisera vårt sätt att förstå mat.</p><p>Det nuvarande livsmedelssystemet, menar Amilcare, är genomkorrupt – dominerat av finansiella intressen, oligopol och en ingenjörslogik som maximerar volym och centralisering på bekostnad av biologisk mångfald, folkhälsa och bönders överlevnad. Vi betalar för maten fyra gånger: i skatt, i kassan, i miljöskador och i sjukvårdskostnader. Hans vision är att koppla ihop konsumenter direkt med producenter via en öppen digital plattform, och att göra bondebeslut till en politisk och moralisk handling.</p><p>3 bulletpoints </p><p>* Varför Europas första regenerativt certifierade olivolja skapades av en före detta politisk aktivist från Neapel – och vad det säger om vad vi kallar “hållbart”</p><p>* Hur livsmedelssystemet gör att vi betalar för maten fyra gånger – och vad du kan göra åt det redan i veckan</p><p>* Det som din farmor visste om mjölk som Arla helst inte pratar om – och varför det handlar om mer än smak</p><p>CTA</p><p>Ø Lyssna på hela samtalet – Amilcare delar på slutet något från kvantfysiken som förändrar hur du ser på varje möte du har. Det är värt att höra med egna öron.</p><p>Ø Prenumerera om du vill ha fler samtal som rör vid det som faktiskt spelar roll – mat, jord, ansvar och vad det innebär att vara människa i vår tid.</p><p>Ø Dela avsnittet med någon som jobbar inom restaurang, livsmedel eller jordbruk. Det här samtalet behöver höras av fler i branschen.</p><p>Vad händer när vi slutar se mat som en vara och börjar se den som ett förhållande – till jord, till bonde, till oss själva?</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amilcareastone/">Amilcare Astone LinkedIn</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://radici.se/">Radici hemsida</a></p><p><p>Thanks for reading!

ENG #60 Amit Paul Innrwrks – From Pop Star to Planetary Thinker
<p>Amit Paul has lived more lives than most — chart-topping pop star, polymer chemistry CEO, sustainability entrepreneur, and now one of the most quietly radical thinkers working on the future of business. In this episode of Nourishing Ideas, Amit takes us from a basement audition in Stockholm to touring with Britney Spears, from battling the petrochemicals industry to discovering a completely different way of seeing the world — one where companies are organisms, control is an illusion, and the most powerful thing a leader can do is get genuinely curious.</p><p><p>This Substack is listener-supported. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.</p></p><p>What emerges is a conversation about living systems, regenerative business, and why the frameworks we’ve built our economy on are not just outdated — they’re creating the very crises we’re trying to solve. Amit introduces the concept of the Regenerative Community Organism, talks about why composting companies might be more valuable than scaling them, and makes a compelling case for why hope isn’t the antidote to despair — presence is.</p><p>This isn’t a feel-good episode about sustainability buzzwords. It’s a rigorous, honest, sometimes uncomfortable rethinking of what it means to create value in a world that’s changing faster than our institutions can process.</p><p><strong>Three things you’ll take away from this conversation:</strong></p><p>* <strong>Why “control” is the most expensive belief in your organization</strong> — and what to replace it with when everything becomes unpredictable</p><p>* <strong>The difference between complicated and complex</strong> — and why that distinction changes everything about how you lead, plan, and measure success</p><p>* <strong>How to start a company (or restart one) as a living organism</strong> — including the three foundational moves Amit recommends before you write a single business plan</p><p>Ø <strong>Listen now and discover why the river doesn’t need pushing.</strong></p><p>Ø <strong>Share this episode with a founder, a leader, or anyone who’s ever felt like they’re doing everything right — and still hitting a wall.</strong></p><p>Ø <strong>Subscribe to Nourishing Ideas</strong> for conversations with thinkers who are rebuilding the world from its foundations up.</p><p><strong>What’s alive in you after listening? What question does this episode leave you sitting with?</strong></p><p>“What if the thing you’re trying to control is the very thing that’s blocking the emergence you’re looking for?”</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amitpaul-changemaker/">Amit Paul LinkedIn</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://innrwrks.com/">Innrwrks homepage</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://worldofwisdom.substack.com/">World of Wisdom Podcast</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://nourishingideascompass.substack.com/">For entrepreneurs</a></p><p>For one-time donations:💸 Swish (in Sweden): 070-6092464 (Hans Hallengren)☕️ <a target="_blank" href="https://coff.ee/nourishingideas">Buy Me A Coffee</a></p><p>Besides the podcast, you’ll soon find — Q2 2026 — an educational program on how to build a regenerative business or create a sustainably functioning company.</p><p>The interviews will continue to be gifts available to everyone, and we truly appreciate any kind of support — whether through subscribing or contributing financially in any way.</p><p>Some reflection episodes, which will form part of the educational material I’ll start publishing this season, will be available exclusively to paying subscribers.If you want to listen to those — this is a good time to become a subscriber!</p><p>In addition to the interviews, there will be a learning program open to everyone, but I’ll also mix in deeper-dive episodes on specific topics, which will be reserved for paying subscribers.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://substack.com/@nourishingideas">Follow me here</a>Join the <a target="_blank" href="https://nourishingideas.substack.com/publish/post/158370006">subscriber chat</a></p><p>🎵 The music was produced by Victor-Alan Weeks (SENA HERO)</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Nourishing Ideas at <a href="https://nourishingideas.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">nourishingideas.substack.com/subscribe</a>
