Bren Smith is the industry pioneer behind "Eat Like A Fish - My adventures as a fisherman turned restorative ocean farmer". A former commercial fisherman, Bren went through a journey of ecological redemption by turning into a regenerative ocean farmer, and co-founder of the non-profit GreenWave - a global network of farmers, entrepreneurs, and researchers, focused on building community-based climate solutions out at sea, through collaboration and innovation.

In this episode, Bren takes me through his thoughts, mistakes and experience. From the political to the extremely technical, from the huge obstacles to the amazing opportunities, he paints an exciting vision for the future of the seaweed industry.
The conversation covers several topics, including pollution farming, climate change, economic inequality, the Wall Street framework of the unicorn, creating a story for the new era, the solution movement, the role of individuals, the economic models and technical innovation.
