In the season finale of the Regenerative edge, host Moh Al-Haifi completes his conversation with Johannes Hochholzer from Unity Effect, exploring why Source Principles can bring up resistance, and what that resistance might have to teach us.

Johannes begins with the rejection many people feel when first encountering Source Principles, the instinctive sense that something cannot be true, cannot be fair, or cannot fit with our own lived experience of collaboration, leadership, responsibility, and power.

From there, the conversation moves into organisational history, the stories teams keep telling, and the traces left behind by founders, conflicts, endings, and creative fields that were never consciously closed.

Together, Moh and Johannes explore what it means to take responsibility for the ideas we bring to life, including the painful work of knowing when something needs to end. They reflect on grief, closure, renewal, and the possibility that honouring an idea sometimes means releasing it from the shape it once held.

As the final episode of Season 1, Setting the Table, this conversation invites founders, leaders, and changemakers to ask what stories are still shaping their work, what fields are asking to be closed, and what new collaborations might become possible when we meet the past with more honesty, care, and responsibility.

How Sources can lead the change from the inside out. In this episode of the Regenerative edge, host Moh Al-Haifi continues his conversation with Johannes Hochholzer from Unity Effect, exploring what happens when Source Principles meet the complexity of teams, departments, collaborations, and nested systems.

Together, Moh and Johannes explore the relationship between global and specific sources, the inner condition of the person sourcing the work, the responsibility that comes with bringing something to life, and why trust, power, and letting go matter inside any creative field.

This episode invites founders, leaders, and changemakers to look more closely at the work they are part of, who is really sourcing it, what patterns are shaping it, and how naming responsibility might help teams move with more honesty, playfulness, and clarity.

The risk that brings an idea to life.In this episode of the Regenerative edge, host Moh Al-Haifi is joined by Johannes Hochholzer from Unity Effect to explore Source Principles, and what they can teach us about how ideas, projects, and organisations come into being.

Together, Moh and Johannes explore what it means to become the source of a creative field, how vision is often uncovered rather than invented, and why the person who first carries an idea holds a particular kind of responsibility for its direction, boundaries, and life. The conversation opens up a deeper question for founders, practitioners, and changemakers, what happens when we understand organisational design not only as structure, but as a relationship to the original spark that made the work possible?

In this episode of the Regenerative edge, host Moh Al-Haifi continues the conversation with Renee Mitchell and Tania Lo from Tandem, exploring what happens when purpose-led and regenerative spaces repeat the very patterns they are trying to move beyond.

The conversation moves through decolonising business culture, the discomfort of naming white supremacy in organisational spaces, the tension between individual need and collective responsibility, and the ways either-or thinking can quietly reproduce colonial patterns.

Together, Moh, Renee, and Tania also explore the pressure of money in regenerative work. For many founders and changemakers, survival mode is not abstract. It is shaped by cash flow, investment pressure, profitability, and the fear that there may not be enough to keep going.

Rather than treating money as separate from culture, this episode asks how regenerative organisations can resource themselves and each other without defaulting to extraction, urgency, or the traditional hockey-stick version of scale.

In this episode of the Regenerative edge, host Moh Al-Haifi continues the conversation with Renee Mitchell from Tandem, exploring what it means to build cultures where people no longer have to split themselves in two.

Renee reflects on a wider collective shift, from autopilot and performance towards self-awareness, care, integration, and a deeper understanding of what people are carrying into work. From the rise of mental health conversations to the lasting impact of the pandemic, she explores how more leaders are beginning to question the cultures they have inherited, and whether those cultures ask people to mask, fragment, or leave parts of themselves behind.

Together, Moh and Renee explore whole-self leadership, self-resourcing, community care, money, regulation, grief literacy, and the possibility of organisations becoming places where people can bring their gifts without pretending to be untouched by the world around them.

Working at the speed of trust. In this episode of the Regenerative edge, host Moh Al-Haifi is joined by Renee Mitchell and Tania Lo from Tandem to explore culture, trust, and what it takes to build organisations that can move with more care, awareness, and relational intelligence.

The conversation begins with a question, can culture be understood as a kind of technology? Not technology in the narrow sense of software or tools, but as something that shapes how people move, relate, decide, and lead before they consciously think about it.

Together, Moh, Renee, and Tania explore what it means to work at the speed of trust, why self-trust is essential to shared trust, and how regenerative organisations might learn to move more like a flock, guided by relationship, safety, care, and shared direction. The conversation moves between the micro and the macro, from the everyday relationships around the kitchen table to the wider systems organisations hope to change. Renee and Tania reflect on right relationship, co-creation, servant leadership, and why culture is not only held by formal leaders, but made through the daily actions, tensions, and choices of everyone involved.

In this episode of the Regenerative edge, host Moh Al-Haifi finishes his conversation with Jannik Kaiser, co-founder of Unity Effect, by exploring what makes regenerative evaluation different from more traditional approaches to impact measurement.

For Jannik, regenerative evaluation is not only a way to understand whether change is happening. It is also a process that can give energy back to the people involved, create space for reflection, include different forms of knowing, and actively ask how power can be shifted rather than simply observed.

Together, Moh and Jannik explore what it means to listen without extracting, who should be included in an evaluation process, and how organisations can use evaluation to redistribute voice, responsibility, and agency.

The conversation also grounds these ideas in practice, including Unity Effect’s work with SEND in Germany, where evaluation became a way to learn from past projects while inviting policy actors, philanthropic actors, and intermediaries into deeper responsibility for shaping a more inclusive social entrepreneurship sector.

In this episode of the Regenerative edge, host Moh Al-Haifi continues his conversation with Jannik Kaiser, co-founder of Unity Effect, to explore what impact evaluation really means, and why the question of accountability can never be separated from power.

At first glance, impact evaluation can sound technical, a set of metrics, reports, dashboards, and frameworks designed to show whether change is happening. But beneath that sits a deeper question, who gets to decide what counts as meaningful change in the first place?

Together, Moh and Jannik unpack the difference between reporting and learning, the role of evaluation in mission-led organisations, and the risk of impact becoming a performance of purpose rather than a practice of truth. They also explore the tension between genuine contribution and impact washing, asking how organisations can remain honest about what they are serving, who they are accountable to, and whether their stated purpose is truly being lived.
