S2 E10 | Jackie Mirkopoulos – Leading from Nature: Regeneration, Reciprocity & Joy

What if leadership wasn’t about extraction, but about regeneration—of people, culture, and the planet? What becomes possible when we root our organizations in joy, reciprocity, and nature’s blueprint? In this episode of Beloved Futures, host Aubrey Morgan Yee sits down with Jackie Mirkopoulos, a regenerative venture capitalist and leadership consultant guiding a new model of business rooted in reciprocity, embodiment, and joy.   ... About Our Guest Jackie Mirkopoulos is a regenerative venture capitalist and dynamic public speaker dedicated to shaping a harmonious future through her work in leadership development, her social impact fund as well as her newly founded leadership consultancy, Seven Neighbours.  Weaving visionary insights with lived experience, she challenges conventional thinking and guides leaders to align with nature’s blueprint in order to create thriving organisations, healthier cultures, and increased profits. With her trademark warmth and distinct sense of humour, Jackie invites audiences to step away from outdated hustle mentalities and into a state of flow, resonance, and co-creation with nature.  Her expertise spans health and wellness, company culture, land stewardship, and philanthropy - each driven by a deep commitment to building community and fostering meaningful change. With her captivating, authentic, and consistently engaging approach, Jackie always leaves audiences not only thinking differently but also feeling inspired and empowered to lead differently. Aubrey and Jackie met at Project Biome, where Jackie serves on the Board of Directors. What We Explore in This Episode In this conversation, Jackie invites us to reimagine leadership, wealth, and business through a regenerative lens.  One that honors our humanity, reconnects us to nature, and centers joy as a transformative force. Drawing on her personal story, body-based wisdom, and experience stewarding both land and capital, Jackie shares a vision for organizations that nourish rather than extract, and for leaders who are rooted, resilient, and ready to co-create the future. Key Takeaways Nature as blueprint for leadership – how Jackie draws from permaculture, embodiment, and natural systems to guide regenerative business transformation. From extraction to reciprocity – why true sustainability starts within, and how organizations can shift from burnout culture to life-honoring practices. Wealth stewardship in transition – the challenges and opportunities facing next-gen leaders as they inherit wealth and reimagine legacy. Joy as a regenerative force – why joy isn’t optional, but essential for resilience, creativity, and cultural change. Human-first systems change – how reconnecting with our bodies, emotions, and inner work is key to transforming business from the inside out. Whether you're a leader, a culture shaper, or someone dreaming of a more regenerative world, this conversation will remind you what’s possible when we lead from joy, reciprocity, and embodied wisdom. May this conversation illuminate the path you’re walking and inspire you to lead from the inside out. With Love and Gratitude, Aubrey Morgan Yee GUEST INFO You can find Jackie here:https://linktr.ee/SevenNeighbours  EPISODE RESOURCES https://projectbiome.org/  FOLLOW AUBREY'S WORK Website: www.ourbelovedfutures.com/ Instagram: @aubrey.morgan.yee Substack: https://aubreyy.substack.com/
