Richard Dickson on the power of climate-positive leadership, conscious capitalism, micro-actions, and regenerative thinking to transform business. We explore why rewriting the rules of work requires new approaches to productivity, leadership, and business design, and how small, intentional actions can create lasting systems change.

In episode 90 we cover:

• Richard’s journey as a neurodiverse founder and the habits that support his wellbeing and productivity
• What conscious capitalism really means (and why it matters now)
• Why businesses must move beyond compliance toward regenerative models
• The rise of the circular and “pre-loved” economy
• How Play It Green helps companies create climate-positive pathways through simple, dopamine-boosting micro-actions
• Why education, transparency, and community-building drive real sustainability
• The relationship between leadership, productivity, and business impact

Key takeaway:

Momentum follows action — and even the smallest step can spark long-term cultural, financial, and environmental change.

In this episode of Creating Cadence, host Mich Bondesio interviews Kevin Karaca - a storyteller, behaviour strategist, and mindfulness advocate - about how curiosity, meaning, and story can help us rewrite the rules of work.

Kevin is co-founder of Folc Studio, founder of The House Outside, and creator of The Cult of Curiosity. His work explores how humans and businesses can reconnect with themselves and others to create more intentional, meaningful, and sustainable ways of working.

Together, Mich and Kevin unpack how story, reciprocity, and self-connection shape our work and leadership, and why embracing discomfort, curiosity, and presence are essential tools for positive change.

In episode 88, we cover:

• Why there’s no “work–life divide”
• How story shapes systems, culture, and behaviour
• Why changing the story changes the system
• The role of mindfulness and curiosity in sustainable productivity
• Why vulnerability, meaning, and discomfort matter for growth

Key takeaway:

When we reconnect with curiosity and meaning, we don’t just change our work - we change ourselves, our relationships, and the systems we build together.
