Could You Help Me Reach the Right Podcasts and Influencers for the Book Launch?

Your introductions and suggestions can help bring Symbiotic Culture into the wider conversation.

Dear friends,

As I move toward launching Birthing the Symbiotic Age this coming January, I’m beginning the next stage: sharing Symbiotic Culture with audiences who are already hungry for a more humane, spiritually rooted, and relational way of living.

Many of you have been following my work for years, and you know the terrain this book covers. For those not familiar yet, check out the 3-minute book Synopsis at the bottom.

Symbiotic Culture is more than a book — it’s a movement in the making.

In a time of cultural breakdown and political polarization, Symbiotic Culture offers a practical, spiritually grounded blueprint for rebuilding trust, healing communities, and creating a civic commons from the bottom up.

The right conversations at the right time could help bring this message into spaces where it’s deeply needed and help spark a movement that lifts all boats.

So I’d be grateful for your help as I begin scheduling podcast and media interviews between now and January.

I’m looking for two kinds of support:

1. Introductions or connections

If you personally know anyone who hosts a podcast, runs a platform, or has influence in any community/network, a warm introduction would make a huge difference.

Below is a list of podcasts I’m hoping to connect with — if you know someone involved with any of them, I’d deeply appreciate your support in making an introduction.

2. Suggestions

If you follow a show or have connections to influencers that align with the themes of the book (see Where Symbiotic Culture Fits below)—and you think it would be a good fit—please send it my way, even if it’s not on the list below.

Where Symbiotic Culture Fits

To help orient the search, here are the key “movement threads” where I’m focusing outreach:

• Faith & Spirit: Faith-based and spiritual communities
• Service: Charities and social change efforts
• Civic Renewal: Civic renewal and bridge-building networks
• Ecology: Regenerative culture and ecological restoration
• Creation Care: Creation care and faith-based stewardship
• Local Enterprise: Purpose-driven small businesses
• New Economy: New economy and commons movements
• Localization: Localization and bioregional action
• Civic Muscle: Pro-democracy and civic muscle building
• Arts & Imagination: Arts, creativity, and culture-making communities

These are the places where Symbiotic Culture can serve, support, and spark deeper conversation.
