Sam Garcia - Dirty Alchemy

What if the way most of us relate to money looks exactly like a monocrop field?

Depleted.
Dependent.
Producing less and less over time.

In this conversation, my husband Eddy Garcia and I sit down with Erin West to explore what it actually takes to regenerate something that has been stripped bare—whether that's land, money, community, or even ourselves.

Eddy grew up farming on Molokai and has spent decades doing what many people believe is impossible: turning damaged land into thriving ecosystems.
But what surprised me most about this conversation wasn't the farming.

It was how perfectly regeneration mirrors abundance.

We talk about:

🌱 Why scarcity and greed are often two sides of the same coin
🌱 How observation is the first step in regeneration
🌱 What monocropping teaches us about modern culture
🌱 Why cheap food isn't actually cheap
🌱 Gifting economies, Sacred Economics, and receiving
🌱 How to use business profits to fund real-world change
🌱 What wealth actually means

This conversation is earthy, philosophical, practical, and deeply hopeful.

If you've ever wondered what regenerative business, regenerative wealth, or regenerative living actually look like in practice, I think you'll love this one.

It might even make you want to go touch some dirt.
