In this powerful episode, Yvette Bethel and Edwin Clamp explore one of the most urgent challenges facing organizations, institutions, and societies today: How do we shift from degenerative systems—those that deplete trust, extract value, and reinforce corruption—toward generative ecosystems that create value, restore integrity, and serve the whole?

Join us as we unpack:

• What makes a system degenerative or corrupt (and how to recognize the signals)
• The hidden costs of institutional decay, distrust, and misaligned incentives
• The principles of generative systems — those built on trust, reciprocity, transparency, and sustainability

Whether you're a leader, change agent, team member, or simply someone trying to work with integrity in a system that feels out of sync, this episode offers a clear-eyed perspective on what's possible—and where to start.
