In 2018, he launched The Spaceship Earth Podcast, and in 2020, he co-authored "Stories for Life," exploring the impact of cultural narratives on human and ecological relationships. Today, Dan focuses on regenerative cultures, creative activism, and climate action, continuing to influence through his podcast, writings, and collaborative efforts.
