The Regenerative Real Estate Podcast
A show that explores how land, capital, and community come together in practice.
Hosted by Neal Collins, the show features conversations with landowners, developers, investors, and practitioners navigating the real-world challenges of regenerative development, including financing, governance, land stewardship, and long-term value creation.
Rather than focusing on theory or trends, the podcast examines the tradeoffs, constraints, and decisions that determine whether regenerative projects actually endure.

James Ehrlich is a technology and media entrepreneur. He's the founder of ReGen Villages, a tech-driven company that seeks to design regenerative communities focused on food, water, energy, and circular waste management. He's also the director of compassionate sustainability at Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research. James uses his lifetime of experience with video games, television story-telling, and tech to create engaging software that can help people build resilient and integrated villages that make the best use of their unique land.
James and show host Neal discuss how James background in media set the stage for his current work with regenerative villages. He was in the middle of the transition from cartridge to CD-ROM gaming, as well as the burgeoning farm-to-table and organic food scenes in the 90s and 2000s. They discuss how ReGen Villages was formed at Stanford and how it seeks to harness AI and machine learning to support the creation of regenerative communities that can provide health and abundance to people all over the world.
