The Missing Piece of Sustainable Transformation

What if the biggest barrier to solving climate change, inequality, or the AI revolution isn’t a lack of technology, but a lack of human skills?

In this episode, Regina sits down with Alice Schmidt, a leading voice on sustainable transformation, to unpack the question that’s often missing from conversations about the future: Who do we need to become to create the world we want to live in?

Together, they explore why resilience, empathy, courage, self-awareness, and the ability to navigate complexity may be just as important as innovation itself. Alice explains why the Inner Development Goals are gaining momentum around the world and why looking inward should never become an excuse for avoiding the urgent action that needs to happen today.

The conversation takes us from Viktor Frankl’s powerful insights on hope and survival to the opportunities and ethical dilemmas of artificial intelligence. Alice shares why she’s optimistic about AI, not because the technology is inherently good, but because its impact depends on the values of the people building and using it.

You’ll also hear about the World Climate Game, an immersive experience that leaves participants seeing global challenges (and their own ability to influence them!)in a completely different way.

This episode is an invitation to think bigger, lead differently, and remember that lasting change doesn’t happen by choosing between inner work and outer action. We need both.

If you’ve ever wondered how one person can make a meaningful difference in a world that feels increasingly complex, this conversation will leave you with more hope, more questions, and perhaps a little more courage to use your own voice.
