I have an incredible guest for you today.

Joost Bakker is many things. He’s an artist, a florist, a restauranteur, designer, entrepreneur, father, and so much more, but most of all he is an inspiration.

Joost’s projects over the years have continued to capture our imagination about better ways in which we could be living in this world.

Whether that’s through zero waste restaurants, completely rethinking building designs, or integrating food and living systems, Joost’s projects are known for their incredible impact and sheer audacity.

One of most recent projects was Future Food System in the Fed Square; a zero-waste, sustainably built and operated building in the heart of Melbourne CBD which grew its own food on site for the chefs that inhabited it and cooked there, and it was fucking EPIC. If you didn’t get a chance to see it or hear much about it, you’re in luck, because his documentary, ‘Greenhouse by Joost’ is out this week in cinemas across the country, which you should definitely check out.

In this conversation we talk about a whole lot of topics including Joost’s inspirations for his work, his stories from travelling the world, the impacts of the modern world on human health, the idea that technology will save us, our human tendencies towards comfort and convenience, and so much more.

But the essence of this conversation, and what all of Joost’s projects show, is that we don’t have to wait for, or demand other people to, change. In Joost’s words: “No revolution started with a politician”. If we want to create a better world, we need to be better. And it’s not only possible; it’s the only way.

The Overview Effect is the paradigm shift astronauts experience when viewing Earth from space; where their outlook on life changes, they experience an emotional and spiritual transformation, and they return to Earth profoundly connected to Nature and humanity.

What would our world look like if we lived from the perspective of this ‘Overview Effect’? Join James Perrin as he speaks with influential thinkers, environmentalists, humanitarians, & entrepreneurs to explore the moments in their lives that have shaped the way they see the world, their stories of awakening and transformation, and ultimately, how these moments have influenced the impact they're seeking to create in their lives.

In a world that faces endless crises (climate, wealth inequality, homelessness, health, racial injustice, and so much more), this podcast asks "What if we all experienced our own moments of transformation? What if the most pertinent crisis, that underpinned all of the others that we face, is that of our own consciousness and morality?"
