Capital Institute and nRhythm Launch Regenerative Economics & Business 101 Learning Series Amid Growing Demand for a New Economic Paradigm

New learning series offers a practical path beyond business-as-usual—redefining economics and business for long-term wellbeing

, /PRNewswire/ — Capital Institute and nRhythm this week announced the launch of the Regenerative Economics & Business 101 Learning Series, a new public learning initiative designed to meet a growing demand for alternatives to today‘s failing economic and business systems. The series kicks off with a free live event on June 25, featuring a candid conversation between John Fullerton, former Managing Director at JPMorgan turned unconventional economist and impact investor, and Tre‘ Cates, a globally recognized organizational design consultant, serial entrepreneur, and former CEO with deep experience in regenerative business practice.

The sessions in this learning series are paired with 101-level, on-demand course content that offers practical teachings on what regenerative economics and regenerative business actually mean, why they matter—and what it takes to move from buzzwords to building businesses and economies that support the long-term wellbeing of people and planet.

“Let‘s be real—our current economic system is failing,” said Tre‘ Cates, Founder of nRhythm. “Business-as-usual is accelerating ecological breakdown, social division, and and driving employee engagement to historic lows. We need more than surface-level change. Regenerative business design and management offers a real alternative—but only if we‘re willing to commit to a new approach.”

“The will is there, but in many business, economic, and finance spaces the understanding is shallow,” added John Fullerton, Founder of the Capital Institute. “Regenerative Economics is not just ESG 2.0—it‘s a whole paradigm shift. And this series is our attempt to help people get grounded in what that actually means.”

Designed for leaders, educators, investors, and changemakers across sectors, the Regenerative Economics & Business 101 Series provides clear frameworks and foundational training in regenerative thinking and practice. Following the free live kickoff event, participants can unlock a special $99 on-demand course bundle that includes:

Fundamentals of Regenerative Economics (Taught by Capital Institute)
Fundamentals of Regenerative Organizations (Taught by nRhythm with a focus on regenerative business)
Access to event recordings and a bonus live Q&A with John and Tre’
