Join us as we unpack: What makes a system degenerative or corrupt (and how to recognize the signals) The hidden costs of institutional decay, distrust, and misaligned incentives The principles of generative systems — those built on trust, reciprocity, transparency, and sustainability Whether you're a leader, change agent, team member, or simply someone trying to work with integrity in a system that feels out of sync, this episode offers a clear-eyed perspective on what's possible—and where to start.
