She’s helped put over $5M into creators’ pockets through digital business sales, and her newsletter reaches 100,000+ subscribers with practical insights from the creator economy.

In today’s episode, we have the pleasure to interview Tim Christophersen, author of Generation Restoration: How to Fix Our Relationship Crisis with Mother Nature.

Tim is the VP of Climate Action at Salesforce and formerly Head of Nature for Climate at the United Nations Environment Programme, where he helped launch the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. A forester by training, he’s spent over two decades leading global efforts to restore ecosystems, stabilize the climate, and bring nature-based solutions into the mainstream of business and policy.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to rebuild a real relationship with nature—beyond extraction and transactions, the practical win-wins of restoration (from putting carbon back into soils to agroforestry that revives livelihoods), and why ecological literacy—asking where your food and water come from and spending more time outside—sparks the kind of nonpartisan action the world needs. We’ll also explore ecopreneurship and how AI can scale restoration across communities and supply chains.

Now get ready to learn and enjoy this incredible conversation with Tim Christophersen.
