Regenerate X - Dare to Dare!
Dare with us to change your language and with it your relationship to life
"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult." - Seneca
As Regenerate X we are committed to addressing global challenges with systemic awareness and simple practical applications to change everyday leadership in life and work.
In February, we will explore the Super Power of "Dare" by daring to change our language and with it our relationship to life.

Socratic Dialogue on Dare
Our monthly Socratic Dialogues continue on February 27th, Sunday at 5-6.30 pm CET with Super Power Dare.
We can create a regenerative impact, liberate ourselves and others through regenerating our thinking. From this virginal thinking, we can help design services, products, and experiences, integral to principles that matter.
👉🏼 Please RSVP to book your seat.
February Super Power: Dare
Mind & Replace workshop 19/2/22 10am - 12pm CET
Eco linguistics, Metaphor and language of re-connection
Our February Super Power is "Dare", a key quality of all great leaders.
How do we create choices about the language we use? By bringing to the surface the underlying concepts that form our metaphors and daily language. Do we Build or Grow community? Save or Heal the environment? How are you Doing or How are you Being? Do we see reality as ‘things’ or ‘events’, ‘objects’ or ‘happenings’? And how do these conceptualisations affect our relationships to ourselves and the rest of the world?
Dare to hack your language, mind & replace your story. We invite you to lead with connection & regenerative language. Book your spot here.
👉🏼 To get notified about our next language workshops and for corporate inquiries, please contact us directly here.
Unconditional M@n Deeper Purpose (Online Journey)
Did you know that one-third of men regularly feel lonely? 15% of men have no close friendships at all. From our recent survey, we learned that loneliness and no close friendships are hitting all layers of society. Our individualistic, polarised, greed and competition-driven society is starting to take a heavy toll on men.
The Unconditional M@n’s project creates brave and safe spaces (physically & online) for men to share personal experiences and speak from the heart about how they feel, and learn how to share and breakthrough in specific situations.
Unconditional M@n is co-created to work towards shared values and connections instead of creating and feeding different opinions. Opinions are a construct of the mind and divide us in the belief we are right or wrong. The heart doesn't divide, it connects.
Want to learn more? Starting on February 23, Unconditional M@n is launching its first online Deeper Purpose course, an 8-week journey to discover and align to your true purpose using courage as a key driver to create deep transformation within.
If you are a (potential) leader with a growth mindset, an open heart and a hunger for completeness and innovation embracing personal growth, this course is for you.
Early Bird tickets are available till February 9.
👉🏼 You can contact Rudy directly if you are interested and have any questions about the program.

Intentions
Earlier this year, we chose five intentions, each honouring one of the five elements of nature. We stay close to our intention by checking in, every edition of our newsletter.
DEEPer Tech: EARTH
GENdR: WATER
NFT Alchemy: FIRE
METTAverse : AIR
DAOism: ETHER
Aligning actions and behaviours with priorities is the ultimate leadership. With intentions, we integrate our values and our daily reality, in harmony with our most profound guide: nature.
Our invitation is to become aware of our own intentions and energy. Then we can take the responsibility of our impact in shaping reality, and the future, NOW — in the way we think, talk and act on our intentions.
At Regenerate X, we keep our curiosity high and prefer to explore new systems and trends, rather than judge them. Join our exploration.
DEEPer Tech: EARTH
Have you watched the movie “In Time”? The movie takes place in 2169, people are genetically engineered to stop ageing on their 25th birthday when a one-year countdown on their forearm begins. When it reaches zero, the person "times out" and dies instantly. Time has thus become the universal currency, transferred directly between people or stored in "time capsules".
Well, luckily we are not living that dystopian scenario but we are on a quest to define biological age, led by scientists like Prof Steve Horvath, the founder of epigenetic age measurement, with predictions on risk factors around mortality. Epigenetic clocks use algorithms to calculate biological age on the basis of a read-out of the extent to which dozens or even hundreds of sites across an individual’s genome are bound by methyl groups — a form of epigenetic modification.
Research shows that we can not only slow down but actually reverse ageing. This is no news to those of you who follow Louise Hay, Deepak Chopra & Dean Ornish, Joe Dispenza, Dr Nayan Patel and many more leaders in science, medicine, health and wellbeing, biology and spirituality.
As Regenerate X, we are excited about the developments in these multidisciplinary areas, and we are working in age tech with our clients. We invite the design, tech and media communities — founders, investors, journalists — all need to pay more attention to “age-tech.”
We also invite our game changers community, of all age groups to run their own personal and corporate experimentations in Super Powers Studio, with our various wellbeing retreats with leading experts such as detox, fasting, meditation, breathwork and regenerating our thoughts with experiences like Socratic Dialogues.
RefleX:
What are your assumptions and beliefs about ageing?
Are your habits of eating, thinking and living age-reversing habits or accelerating habits?
How can your company culture help and in-power your employees and stakeholders to stay young and fresh?
What would you do differently as a leader, if you could double your life with health & wellbeing?

Designing for gender neutrality
Design, just like the rest of the arts, is a direct manifestation of the current cultural atmosphere surrounding creatives. There is a fast-growing trend and rising demand for designs that are genderless.
“A gender-equal society would be one where the word ‘gender’ does not exist: where everyone can be themselves.” — Gloria Steinem
“To create in gender-neutral terms, designers need to look beyond the traditional ways of defining personas. Gender neutrality embodies the idea that society at large, in its policies, language, social structures, and behaviours needs to go beyond stereotyping according to types, identity, and gender roles.”

Fifteen NFT projects & collectives building greater inclusion and diversity in web3
Whether you’re in yet or not, one of the most exciting things in the NFT space is all the amazing projects using the power of NFTs to in-power traditionally underserved populations, celebrate diversity, and build inclusion in web3. Collectively, these projects are helping break down barriers and build a more inclusive NFT and web3 space for all.
In this overview, Cryptoaltruism highlights fifteen amazing NFT collectives and projects that are promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in the web3 space.

Our inclusions this week on NFTs include some interesting links that show the polarisation in this space between believers and non-believers. We recommend a deep dive into the Awakening from the Meaning Crisis by John Vervaeke whenever you get confused 💡
The problem with NFTs
The +2hr long video, “The Problem With NFTs,” was created by Dan Olson from Folding Ideas over a period of 10 months. It has been viewed more than 4 million times since going live on Jan. 22. In the video, Olson discusses what he perceives to be the blockchain’s security gaps, the hollow hype of NFTs, and the limited capability of DAOs. Must watch if you haven’t yet.
Debating ‘The problem with NFTs’
When Andrew R. Chow from TIME Magazine discovered the video was met with an approving roar from other crypto detractors, while being largely ignored on Web 3 Twitter, he asked Tascha Che - a widely followed macro-economist and Web 3 investor to respond directly to some of Olson’s specific critiques in an attempt to somewhat bridge the divide. And then went back to Olson to ask him to respond to some of Che’s rebuttals. Read Andrew’ article of that exchange here.
The Future of NFTs
For an insider’s view on the future of NFT, read Chris Cantino’s Twitter thread on the future of NFTs. From DTC marketplaces to Souldbound NFTs, from Retail to Borrowing Platforms, from Activism to Social Investing, from DeFi to Collateralisation, from R&D to Education and Customer Support, it's all there.
Keep in mind: we are early. The promise of NFT technology to democratise and reward community participation however is growing every day.
RefleX:
How are you doing in your company/organization with researching and exploring the dynamic energy field of NFTs?
What are your core values, principles and cultural innovation plans & practices for a democratised, creative & community led transformation?

DAOism: ETHER
A Complete Overview of the DAOs Ecosystem
DAOs offer entrepreneurs and innovators numerous long and short-term benefits that a traditional corporate structure cannot. By carrying out business operations autonomously through smart contracts, DAOs are trustless. They don’t require you to put your faith in an individual or a boardroom of directors. Nobody can impose their will onto a DAO regardless of their position or authority.
All these basic features make the DAO one of the most interesting developments of the future in organisational structures and the Future of Work. Check out this Complete Overview of the DAOs Ecosystem by Will Kendall for everything you need to know about DAOs and the different purposes they serve.
Ten DAOs disrupting the social impact space
In the corporate world, corporate social responsibility is often no more than a PR stunt, but in the DAO space, social impact is a feature. Many leaders in the DAO space have recognised that there is a natural harmony between DAOs and social impact, and have capitalised on this relationship to develop DAOs that are contributing to important social causes in new and innovative ways.
Check out these ten examples of amazing DAOs that are disrupting the social impact space through their mission-driven focuses.
RefleX:
How do you define, practice and inspire trust and transparency in your organisation?
How are you contributing to building/experimenting with your brand and community using DAO technology and principles?
What is your definition success in these experimentations?

Connect the Dots by Dr Christian Busch
Modern life is full of chance encounters, changing plans, delayed journeys, human errors and other mishaps. But what if we could use such unpredictability to our advantage? Dr Christian Busch has spent a decade exploring how, if acted upon, unexpected encounters can enhance our worldview, expand our social circles and create new professional opportunities. Connect the Dots, the international paperback version of The Serendipity Mindset (including a bonus chapter), is based on decade-long research with leading CEOs, social entrepreneurs, and innovators around the world.
The “wise, exciting, and life-changing book” (Arianna Huffington) develops a science-based framework of how we can turn unpredictability into opportunity and contains “excellent practical guidance for all” (Paul Polman, former CEO, Unilever).
It is available now in Spain and around the world.
