A Climate Change with Matt Matern Climate Podcast

Greg Wendt helps people see, recognize, and create value. His work is rooted in a lifelong passion for sustainable development, regenerative economics, and the belief that economic systems can be designed to create shared prosperity for people, communities, and the planet.

Drawing on expertise that spans personal development psychology, sustainable wealth management, regenerative economic development, business innovation, and the green economy, Greg has become a respected voice in the evolving conversation around finance and human flourishing. His studies in the philosophy and history of finance, combined with experience working with investment banks, financial institutions, and think tanks, have shaped his unique approach to integrating regenerative principles into modern economic systems.

Greg advises investors, leaders, and mission-driven organizations seeking to develop better thinking, tools, and systems that serve humanity. He is particularly passionate about initiatives that advance financial innovation, social equity, and economic transformation while fostering thriving communities and healthy ecosystems.

A lifelong learner, Greg’s curiosity has led him to explore disciplines ranging from economics, computer science, and biology to meditation, wisdom traditions, and the study of consciousness. He credits much of his growth to the mentors, colleagues, and friends who have inspired and challenged him throughout his journey.

Today, Greg collaborates with a global network of investors, entrepreneurs, social innovators, indigenous leaders, regenerative agriculture advocates, and impact-focused organizations working to implement advanced practices that support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and a regenerative future.

A Southern California native, Greg has called Santa Monica home since 1983. Outside of his professional work, he enjoys creating art, collecting and savoring rare aged teas, cooking for loved ones, ocean swimming, surfing, photography, meditation, yoga, and exploring esoteric philosophy.

At the heart of everything he does is a commitment to personal growth, human evolution, and creating meaningful value through every relationship and endeavor.
