Go for Net Positive Part 1 with the Giant Tortoise (Episode 34)

In this episode of Resilience Gone Wild, host Jessica Morgenthal explores the incredible stories of giant tortoises and their ecological significance. She discusses the unique characteristics of these ancient creatures, their conservation success stories, and the concept of living a net positive life. The episode emphasizes the interconnectedness of all living beings and encourages listeners to take practical steps towards sustainability and conservation. Inspired by the book Net Positive by Paul Polman and Andrew Winston, this episode invites you to rethink what it means to live a truly resilient life. While the Net Positive movement was designed for bold businesses, this conversation takes it a step further—asking what it means for each of us to give more than we take, in our energy, relationships, and legacy. We connect positive psychology, personal growth, and the surprising resilience of tortoises to show how we can all live in a way that’s regenerative and purpose-filled—just like nature intended.
