Ep19 - The (In)Compatibility of Doing Good, Pursuing Creativity & Making Money with Giancarlo Canavesio

How might we contribute to the planet's regeneration while pursuing our creative curiosities and material prosperity? - is the question that accompanies this episode.

Grounded in Giancarlo Canavesio's story of becoming, in this conversation, we explore how a former investment banker boldly transitions into a career in film production and, later on, regenerative hospitality and agriculture in the hope of gathering perspective and tools on how to create a life-affirming career path.

Giancarlo is a former investment banker in London and NY, documentary producer, and owner of Mangusta productions and Mangu.tv. He's recognized as one of today's best producers of mind-expanding themes such as conscious capitalism, mysticism, indigenous wisdom, plant medicines, and consensual non-monogamy. His documentaries 2012: Time for Change:  and From Neurons to Nirvana made the lists for best social change docs. More recently based in Ibiza, Giancarlo is involved in regenerative projects in the fields of hospitality with Difuso and agriculture with Terra Viva Ibiza.

Themes:

  • Giancarlo's early contact with movies;

  • Giancarlo's background studies and activities in business and investment banking;

  • Giancarlo's waking up moments that led to his career transition and deepening of his self-discovery journey;

  • How we might pursue creative endeavors while ensuring our material prosperity;

  • Exploration of the 4P's methodology developed by Giancarlo and his wife Stephanie Canavesio;

  • How Giancarlo reminds himself to not sleepwalk through his waking state.
