"Coded in Gold" is a podcast designed for high-performing, multidimensional individuals who are curious about the interplay between resilience, transformation, and innovation. Drawing inspiration from Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, this show delves into how flaws, setbacks, and disruptions can be turned into catalysts for growth and evolution. Hosted by David Newson, episodes combine compelling narratives and expert interviews aimed at decoding the complexities of modern life and business. Here, breaking points become turning points, and challenges are coded in gold.

We've strayed so far from land-based, community driven living that people see it and assume it must be a cult. As my latest guest Neal Collins puts it: "If that's a cult, sign me up." Full conversation on YouTube and where podcasts are found: https://lnkd.in/gCspVAEy
What if ownership is the wrong frame entirely? What does it look like to hold land, wealth, and resources as a steward rather than an owner? Neal Collins is using his own life as a test case for these questions. Full conversation linked in comments. Full conversation on YouTube and where podcasts are found: https://lnkd.in/gCspVAEy
"Cooking with love slowly with locally made ingredients — it's the best." Neal Collins sees food as a love language and a community-building strategy, and it's reshaping how he thinks about his work. Full conversation on YouTube and where podcasts are found: https://lnkd.in/gCspVAEy
"How do we design for human thriving?" And what if it turns out that's the same question as designing for ecological resilience? My guest Neal Collins is connecting blue zones, walkability, and real estate in ways that might change how you think about where you live.

I've been thinking about this conversation for days. I sat down with Neal Collins, founder of Latitude Regenerative Real Estate and Hamlet Capital, former Peace Corps volunteer, and one of the more original thinkers I've come across in a long time, to talk about something called regenerative real estate. When I first heard that phrase I had no idea what it meant. By the end of our conversation I was convinced it might be one of the more important ideas in circulation right now. Here's the thing that got me: We talk about community constantly. It's in every brand deck, every neighborhood marketing brochure, every civic initiative. And yet the way we actually build places – garage-facing streets, car-dependent subdivisions, human habitat completely separated from natural habitat, – systematically destroys the conditions that make community possible. Neal's argument is that this isn't just a cultural problem. It's a design problem. And design problems have solutions. He's working on those solutions through his businesses which are building the financial infrastructure to fund agrihoods, conservation communities, and farm-integrated neighborhoods, places designed around human thriving rather than just return on investment. And his point is that those two things don't have to be in conflict. This episode is for anyone who's ever driven through a suburb and felt that low-grade sadness they couldn't quite name. Neal has a vocabulary for it and more importantly, he has a plan. Full episode on YouTube and wherever podcasts are found: https://lnkd.in/gCspVAEy
Leo Chiang has spent much of his life in between cultures. And instead of resisting it, he’s learned to embrace it. In this clip, he talks about what it means to live in that in-between space and how many of us are already there, whether we name it or not. Full episode on Coded in Gold: https://lnkd.in/gRaiu3Cw
Leo Chiang went to the Kinmen Islands with his family during the pandemic. What he found was more than a place, it was a mirror. A tiny island between China and Taiwan that reflects what it feels like to live between worlds. In this clip, he explains why so many people in the US don’t fully see or understand this tension.

Growing up, I was taught there isn’t much that love can’t dissolve, especially loneliness. That’s one lesson that’s never left me. Listen to my full conversation with Leo Chiang here: https://lnkd.in/gzdJXQyq
The "parachute kids" phenomenon is one of the less-told immigration stories of the late 20th century. Leo Chiang was one of those kids. He's now an Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker. In this episode of Coded in Gold, he talks about how that early experience of living between worlds became the thing he now makes films about.
