David Hodgson, a former software architect, has a unique ability
to connect dots and hold complexity, a skill he honed during his
years of coding. After a midlife crisis triggered by his father's
cancer diagnosis, he realized he wanted to pursue a life of
meaning. This led him to an MBA in sustainable business, which
was transformative for him and introduced him to the concept of
regeneration.

Hodgson's career took a turn when he discovered his ability to
communicate with people from various professional backgrounds and
translate their dialects, enabling collective meaning-making.
This ability, coupled with his focus on the regenerative economy,
led him to become a founding member of the Impact Hub in San
Francisco. Here, he built a large network of people focused on
social and ecological facets of regeneration.

His motivation to contribute to a regenerative global economy was
further fueled by the birth of his daughter, making him more
committed to creating a future that she could inhabit. He has
been connecting people and ideas, amplifying good things
happening around the world, and nudging the world towards a
brighter pathway.

Hodgson's vision of a good life, or "wohlstand" as he refers to
it, is about community and human-scale living. He believes in a
society where everyone can pursue happiness within ecological
boundaries. He advocates for a shift in societal focus from
maximizing GDP to maximizing human wellbeing. His work is about
creating a structure that allows for human thriving within the
very real ecological boundaries that we live within.
