The "membership economy" is profoundly transforming business, comparable to the industrial revolution, states Silicon Valley consultant Robbie Kellman Baxter. This model shifts the consumer-brand relationship from transactional to relational, emphasizing access over ownership and delivering a "forever promise."

While not a new concept—Charles Dickens used subscriptions—modern technology allows businesses to build these ongoing relationships with unprecedented reach. This shift, exemplified by Netflix's success over Blockbuster, prioritizes consistent value and customer certainty. Baxter, author of "The Membership Economy," details this move from one-time payments to recurring revenue and multi-directional communication.

Strong positive social connections are key to happiness, both for individuals and cities. Charles Montgomery explored this concept at Sam Sullivan's February 2014 Public Salon in Vancouver, BC.

Montgomery investigates how urban design intersects with the new science of happiness, drawing insights from psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics. From Disneyland to Dubai, his work reveals how city design influences our thoughts, feelings, and actions. He demonstrates that by changing our relationship with the cities we inhabit, we can transform our own lives.

Anna, author of *Diet for a Hot Planet*, highlights the unsettling connection between food production and global warming.

Charles Clover's "Rewilding the Sea: How to Save Our Oceans" is an essential book urging us to rethink our relationship with nature to save our oceans and life support system. It addresses critical challenges like overfishing, pollution, and acidification, revealing how trawling and dredging generate more CO2 than aviation, damaging vital carbon sinks.

Clover, co-founder of the Blue Marine Foundation, demonstrates that change is achievable. "Rewilding the Sea" celebrates community and fisherman engagement, allowing nature to repair itself. His previous work, "The End of The Line," exposed global overfishing and inspired the foundation. For more information, visit the Blue Marine Foundation. Get the book here. Moderated by Matt Bongiovi.
