How to Build a Regenerative Community with Human-Centered Design | Christina Suter x Steven Streetman.
Mon Feb 02 2026
In this episode, Steve reveals how his unique background in cryptography, data modeling, and real estate convergence has led him to design a community that starts from a completely different point of view: human connection first. Discover how Jevity is being crafted as a walkable, nature-embedded village where homes are nestled among trees, not carved through them, using revolutionary materials like 3D-printed hempcrete.
We dive deep into the ecosystems within a community, from hyper-local food production and micro-manufacturing to renewable energy and closed-loop waste systems, and how these layers integrate to foster not just sustainability, but genuine belonging and resilience.
Furthermore, Steve explains the revolutionary role of tokenization and cryptocurrency in real estate. Learn how his company, Grotto, is pioneering a "stewership model" of fractional ownership, aiming to democratize investment and ensure that everyone who works in Jevity can afford to live, and own a piece, there. This discussion isn't just about futuristic ideas; it's a practical roadmap for using technology and intentional design to create places where people and the planet can thrive together.
If you're an investor, dreamer, builder, or simply someone craving a more connected and purposeful way of life, this episode offers the inspiration and insight to start thinking outside the box, and about what's possible when we build from the heart.
