Launching Planta-R and Vagabonds Podcasts! 🎙️📻🎉

In an ecosystem where content is produced predominantly in English, we are incredibly excited to announce two new, groundbreaking podcasts, part of the Source Studios network – Planta-R in Portuguese and Vagabonds in Spanish! 👏

The introduction of regeneration-focused content in Spanish and Portuguese opens up a new realm of inclusivity and perspective in the global financial conversation.

Spanish and Portuguese, spoken by hundreds of millions across the globe, are more than just languages. They are cultural bridges, connecting diverse communities with unique experiences and viewpoints. By embracing these languages in the space of regenerative finance and regeneration in general, we unlock insights, strategies, and wisdom that were previously unheard.

Without further ado, let's discover Planta-R and Vagabonds! 🎉🎙️👇


Planta-R: A Blueprint for a Regenerative Future 🪷

Planta-R, breaks new ground by offering content in Portuguese, expanding the reach and impact of the transformative message of regenerative projects to a global audience, and transcending language barriers.

The name 'Planta-R' is a play on words with profound significance in Portuguese. "Plantar" means "to plant," signifying the sowing of seeds of inspiration through ReFi stories from Portuguese-speaking communities. Simultaneously, "Planta" can also mean "blueprint," representing the aim to draft a blueprint for a regenerative future where technology and sustainability are intertwined harmoniously.

At the helm of Planta-R, we are honoured to have Rica Amaral. Rica is a pioneer in the regenerative ecosystem with a passion for sustainable development and expertise in financial systems which makes him the ideal voice to guide us through the complex yet fascinating world of ReFi.

With Rica behind the mic, Planta-R becomes a platform for learning, inspiration, and transformative ideas coming from humans of different and often underrepresented backgrounds.
