Sonoma County : A Community Portrait

A local interview series that draws a picture of Sonoma County California in a set of sharply drawn, three-dimensional portraits of some of the remarkable individuals that call this green land home. At depth, each interview is warm, fun, flashing with insight and inspiration as interviewer Cincinnatus Hibbard explores the emotional taproots of what each guest does in and for Sonoma County, bringing forth the lessons and the value of each life lived here. Together this set of interviews begins to describe a web of inter-relations across our cross sectional divide and an emergent sense of who we are as Sonomans - our essence, our values, and where we are headed as a community. We hope you will join us!

Sonoma County : A Community Portrait

SO CO Pod Ep 26. Matt Jorgensen of Joysong Collective on Collective Ownership, Intentional Businesses, and Healing Capitalism through Healing Ourselves

July 05, 2023 • Cincinnatus Hibbard • Season 2 • Episode 26

Corporations are massive engines. And in the current economy they are massive engines of exploitation and ecological destruction. But could they be retooled as massive engines of ecological and societal healing.

In his episode Matt Jorgensen talks about Stewardship Trusts. Within which the intention of corporations can be permanently and irrevocably rewritten - from profit maximization for a sole owner or group of shareholders to ecological restoration maximization for a community, or whatever pro-social intention the current owners or founders choose to set ( social justice or prison reform or funded scholarships or tiny homes for the homeless, the list goes on ).

Matt also delves into the innerwork necessary to heal and transform capitalism from within and let go of control, power, or generational wealth.

Have a listen about this hugely important topic.
