#52 The Ergodic Investor with Graham Boyd

In this episode of “Catalyzing Radical Systemic Change,” hosted by Alistair Langer, the focus is on Graham Boyd’s transformative concept of “The Ergodic Investor.” Boyd, a physicist turned entrepreneur, applies the principles of ergodicity—typically used in physics—to revolutionize business and investment strategies. He advocates for embracing unpredictability and nonlinearity as essential elements for thriving in today’s interconnected world.
Boyd’s background includes a PhD in particle physics and a professional shift from academia to the corporate world, notably working at Procter & Gamble. Realizing systemic issues in corporate decision-making, Boyd eventually founded Evolutesix, a company dedicated to creating regenerative business ecosystems.

Key Topics:

Ergodic Investment Framework: Boyd introduces the concept of ergodicity, explaining how it differs from traditional linear strategies. By embracing complex, nonlinear dynamics, this approach aims to improve investment outcomes in unpredictable environments.

Real-World Applications: The podcast discusses historical examples and case studies where ergodic strategies enhance investment success. Boyd highlights how this shift can lead to a regenerative, net-positive economy, benefitting people, the planet, and profit.
Evolutesix: Boyd’s company focuses on building ecosystems that apply ergodic principles to foster sustainable business growth. Although many companies under this framework are pre-profit, the potential for long-term success is emphasized.
Future Outlook with Horizon 123 Framework: Boyd outlines short-term, medium-term, and long-term goals for scaling ergodic strategies, forming strategic partnerships, and envisioning a future where ergodic principles shape global investment and business practices.

#9 Real Estate as a Driver of Change with Frank Sippel.

The title seems almost a contradiction as we see the housing and affordability crisis mainly driven by extractive real estate business models in many metropolitan areas around the globe.
But this is not carved in stone. We can truly sense into the soul of a property and feel into what that space within its given surrounding really wants to serve for. And create the circumstances that enable a broad variety of stakeholders to cocreate a place full of abundance including the arts and take sustainability really to the next level.

#8 Facilitating large scale cultural change with Pamela von Sabljar, Jeff Genung and Mila Aliana.

How can we facilitate the many chrysalis cells for the emerging, regenerative paradigm that are so far often not connected, when already aligning groups is quite challenging? We truly need groups of groups that share a common North Star, all while they still pursue their own goals, obviously. This is an undertaking that has never been done before on a global scale. But we know leaps in history are possible, from the abolition of slavery, the women’s liberations movement, the end of Apartheid, the fall of the Berlin wall.

#7 The Politics of Waking Up with Indra Adnan.

What could be a new way to imagine politics?
In this episode we are diving deep into the weeds of Citizen Action Networks (CAN). We reflect how much of the inner worlds we all inhabit, from the trauma we hold, to the memetic center of gravities that steer our perception of reality, to the culture we need to nourish, for a “Politics of Waking Up”.

We live in times where it is obvious that the current economic paradigm cannot uphold much longer. In this week’s session we are going to focus on very hands-on examples that redefine impact investing, to ensure that the human factor and wellbeing is counted in, as well as sense into intergenerational investment and new ways to create impact through multi-stakeholder relationships, breaking up the barrier between classical philanthropy and impact investing.
