with Jeff Su & Tre’ Cates
November 13, 2024
In this episode, Jeff Su and Tre' Cates tell the story of how they came together to create nRhythm and the With Life Approach. We touch on the intuitions and ideas that emerged at nRhythm’s formation, and the passion the team has for bringing the principles, patterns, and regenerative capacity of living systems into the social systems where we spend so much of our time - the workplace. We talk about what it means to create conditions that bring more life to organizations, and how simply asking new questions can help us break free of centuries-old approaches and transform our experience of work, our relationships, and our world.
