Care More Be Better: A Podcast For Sustainable Social Impact and Regeneration

en us
Care More Be Better, invites you to care more so we can create a better world together. We amplify the voices of environmentalists, activists, health and nutrition gurus, scientists, and leading experts who seek to make the world a better place. Over the course of more than 290 interview episodes, you'll hear from experts including Annie Leonard, Jean-Michel Cousteau, Paul Hawken, Nina Simons, Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, Dr. William Li, Miyoko Schinner, Gabe Brown, Chef Babette Davis, Kelly Reyerson, Donna Grantis and many more. These global change agents and activists create positive impacts and encourage us to think globally while also acting locally. Listen for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, on our website, and on most major podcast platforms. Continually inspired by Paul Hawken’s aspirational book Regeneration - Ending The Climate Crisis In One Generation, and the late Dr. Wallace J. Nichols' Blue Mind Movement, this show aims to create a realistic roadmap to build a better future. As Paul Hawken simply states: “Global warming is not a science problem. It’s a human problem.” On this journey, you'll become the person you aspire to be by remaining curious, thinking deeply, and listening intently while looking inward. You'll learn to listen to your inner voice and wisdom to receive the gifts nature provides fully. Become part of the regeneration nation by expanding your knowledge of agriculture, social systems, and help us build a more circular and just economy. The stories we tell will get you thinking about how to secure the future for the human race and all Earth's inhabitants - from how you can build positive change in your local community, to how to broaden your reach and impact globally. About Our Host: Corinna Bellizzi, PhD, MBA is a trailblazer in regenerative nutrition and ethical brand strategy. With a career spanning more than 25 years, she built Nordic Naturals into the dominant force in the omega-3 category before pivoting her focus to algae-based nutrition. Through her consultancy, Circle B, she currently serves as Head of Sales and Marketing at Örlö Nutrition, a purpose-driven brand at the forefront of carbon-negative, algae-based nutrition that she helped conceive. In 2021, she created and launched Care More Be Better, now a top 0.05% global podcast with over 3.5 million downloads. She earned her PhD at Prescott College, graduating in August, 2026. The qualitative multiple-case study research she published in her dissertation argues that the ethics of care, equity, and justice are the generative preconditions for authentic regenerative enterprise. She is presently working to secure the right publisher to bring this research to a broader audience. Care More Be Better is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, the Care More Be Better website and most major podcast platforms. JOIN OUR CIRCLE.

10: Rhiannon Menn | Neighborly Love + Lasagna = Community Bliss

31 min
View

In this episode, Corinna Bellizzi guides a conversation about food scarcity, hunger and community stress. These are challenges many people face every single day -- and problems that have only been worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Rhiannon Menn, founder of Lasagna Love joins the show to talk about caring for people in our communities and showing love through making and giving food to those that need help. We talk about incredible people who have been brought together through a love of food, community and giving.

About Our Guest - Rhiannon Menn:Rhiannon Menn is a mama, chef, and adventurer. She loves decaf coffee, traveling, and super fuzzy sweaters - which she unfortunately can no longer wear since she left New England. After the birth of her second child she had an epiphany: when she took good care of herself, she was much better at taking care of those around her. She founded Good to Mama as a way of changing the narrative about what it means to be a mom. In 2020, prompted by the COVID-related struggles of families in her community and her own feeling of helplessness, she founded Lasagna Love. A platform that connects neighbors for home-cooked meal delivery, Lasagna Love has transformed into a national movement of kindness, impacting thousands of volunteers and recipient families each week.

She is a graduate of Berkshire Community College, Brown University, and MIT Sloan, and is a StartingBloc fellow and Siebel Scholar. She has been featured on the Today Show, the Kelly Clarkson Show, in the Washington Post, and on SouthernLiving.com. She lives in Kihei, HI with her husband, two (soon to be three) children, and is relentlessly petitioning for a cat.

6: Robert Bellizzi | Saving Sight Through The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation

31 min
View

In this episode, since most podcasts “podfade” by episode 7 (and since this is #7 if you count our trailer episode) we honor the podcasts that helped us get started, from the friendly podcasters who offered advice to those who offered air time. A big shout out is due to Carolyn Kiel of Beyond 6 Seconds, Anne Marie Cannon of Armchair Historians and Mathew Passy of Causepods (links to each show are below this intro).

This episode is special in another way. I explore the difficulties experienced by those diagnosed with rare diseases as I interview my father-in-law, Robert Bellizzi. Bob is the Executive Director and Founder of The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation. He started this not-for-profit organization back in 1998 as a grass-roots patient to patient online support group called Fuchs’ Friends. This platform provides resources that did not exist, trailblazing a platform that enabled patients to support one another. Fuchs’ Friends and The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation now serves patients in over 150 countries and has a current membership of approximately 3000.

Keep Rolling for Access: DeAndre Wilson on Cancer Support, Community, and Bedford Collab

37 min
View

In this episode we invite you to “Keep Rolling” with DeAndre Wilson, a serial entrepreneur and activist from Southern Indiana who became notorious for rolling a 230 pound tractor tire around town to increase awareness around the struggles of those with cancer and to help raise funds to support them financially. You’ll hear the story of how his father once rolled that very same tractor tire around town with the simple message “cancer sucks” before he passed. Now DeAndre has picked up that mantle to “Keep Rolling”. Together, we discuss the importance of Access with a capital A, to resources within communities so members of the community can truly thrive together.

DeAndre's most recent endeavor and community collaboration is the Bedford Collab Project that gathers members of the community through culture, cuisine, and conversation. By the end of this episode, you’ll gain an understanding of why he has earned the title of “manifestation coach” as he has inspired so many others to see a new world of possibility, even in the face of immense challenges.

DeAndre invites you to connect with him and the Keep Rolling Campaign directly on social media (links provided below) -- and you can even reach out via Instagram for a copy of the book he co-authored, Mindshift 2020.

Pay It Forward With A Purpose-Led Business | Anna Violet Lieby Bartle

22 min
View

In this episode we dig into the concept of paying it forward. You’ll hear the story of Henry Darby, a high school principal in South Carolina, who took a part-time graveyard shift at Walmart, so he could pay his salary forward to students in need.

We bring home the pay-it-forward concept as we tell the sweet story of The Giving Cake, a cupcake company that donates 100% of their profits to community charities. Violet Anna Lieby describes how decorating cakes moved quickly from hobby to passion project and became a business in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, launching in December 2020. The Giving Cake now delivers beautiful floral cupcake bouquets direct-to-consumers all over Santa Cruz County. Their customers even get to choose which charity their purchase will benefit every time they place an order. You’ll discover how to vote with your dollars and your time.

Nothing is Neutral: Navigate Difficult Conversations with Organizational Change Expert | Genevieve Smith

29 min
View

In this interview, you meet Genevieve Smith, an expert in social and organizational change, values alignment and data for social good who is also affectionately known by colleagues and work friends as a “professional bummer”. You’ll learn how and why she has earned that title as we talk about managing difficult conversations about polarizing topics, and how “nothing is neutral”.

You’re invited into a vibrant conversation about values alignment, and how to navigate conversations with anyone in a personal or professional light, from your racist uncle to your boss, about issues as complex and deep as racial equality, religion or gender issues.

We talk about how “woke shaming” is not a path that serves anyone, and how humor can open people to listen, get over themselves, and connect, even when we don’t agree. We have more in common than we often think, and this episode is a reminder that while “nothing is neutral” we have more common ground than we often think.

The Power Of One: Supporting Refugees In Need With Art with Kayra Martinez

27 min
View

In this interview, we meet Kayra Martinez, the founder of Love Without Borders For Refugees In Need. You’ll hear how ONE woman harnessed her desire to help refugees in need to form a not-for-profit that has since helped thousands of refugees living in camps in Greece. Kayra learned by apparent accident when she supplied crayons and paper to kids living in the refugee camps. She discovered that kids who had stopped speaking were able to connect once again -- and that adults were able to move through some of their grief and start to heal. She formed this non-governmental, volunteer-based 501(c)(3) organization so she could fund their creations, support their livelihood, and help them get a fresh start.

Each person she serves receives art supplies and training with artist-led workshops so they can learn to express themselves through art. You can browse her Etsy shop (link below) and choose a piece of their art for yourself or as a gift! 100% of the proceeds go back to the artist to help them get on their feet again. Her work has positively impacted thousands of displaced refugees. She has even begun to help find housing for them while fundraising to support their education so they can gain new skills and build a brighter future in a new land. Her organization has also launched a fundraiser via GoFundMe: The Wahid Wahid project, which provides long-term accommodations and retraining support to help refugees build a brighter future.

About Kayra Martinez and Love Without Borders For Refugees In Need: Kayra Martinez is the founder of Love Without Borders for Refugees in Need.
