BookClub
Welcome to the BlueTech Book Club Podcast—where water meets the written word. Hosted by Paul O’Callaghan, joined by Lily Chen, this is the only podcast dedicated to exploring the books that are shaping how we think about water.
Each episode features conversations sparked by a book—conversations that uncover the ideas, innovations, and stories behind water technology, sustainability, and the people driving change in the sector. From recent titles by academic powerhouses to big-vision narratives from filmmakers, founders, and futurists, we dive deep into what makes these books matter.
This isn’t just a podcast for water experts. It’s for the curious, the committed, and everyone in between—whether you’re just dipping your toes in or already knee-deep in the water space.
You’ll discover books that challenge and inspire new thinking in the sector, hear directly from authors, innovators, and thought leaders, and explore the human stories behind water technologies and movements. It’s also a way to stay connected to emerging trends, research, and radical ideas shaping the future of water.
BlueTech Book Club is brought to you by BlueTech Research. Join us—and bring a book.

Paul Hawken – Regeneration: Ending the climate crisis in one generation
“We’ve forgotten that we’re one planet and one family in every sense of the word and if we’re going to successfully reverse global warming, we have to take care of each other and regenerate everything … and that’s what Regeneration does, it provides a much bigger sense of possibility” – Paul Hawken, Author of Regeneration
In this episode we interviewed Paul Hawken, author of Regeneration who will be a keynote speaker at BlueTech Forum this year and discussed with him what regeneration really means, climate solutions that provide people with jobs, purpose, meaning and dignity and of course our upcoming event in Vancouver! Paul speaks to us about an abundance mindset and a renewed solutions orientated approach to climate challenges.
We are excited to launch the full podcast episode, and we look forward to Paul Hawken’s BlueNote at BlueTech Forum
