Did You Know This About
Kenneth Alston?
I’m Ken Alston — a systems thinker, sustainability strategist, and lifelong learner with over 40 years of experience helping companies, governments, and leaders redesign for a circular economy.
But before any of that — I’m a father of two incredible daughters and a proud grandfather to a bright, curious granddaughter. They’re why I do this work.
For me, sustainability isn’t abstract — it’s personal. It’s about ensuring the systems we build today don’t rob future generations (of all species) of possibility, dignity, or life.
Through frameworks like Design Like Nature™ and the 3D Tactical Tetrahedron™, I help leaders reconnect with what really matters — and build companies that serve both people and the planet.
The Circularity Catalyst Podcast is my way of creating space for deeper conversations — ones that move beyond buzzwords into what it really means to lead regeneratively, with clarity, sovereignty, and soul.
Did you also know I have a YouTube video with over 65,500 views — and that I once owned over 2,000 Japanese maple trees? It has been said that "I never met a plant I didn't like". This picture is from an expedition I undertook in Colombia, South America to a remote orchid-growing farm.
