Meet Graham Boyd, PhD | 20 qoutes for people before profits

Meet Graham

Graham Boyd is a regenerative economy architect, serial entrepreneur, and author of The Ergodic Investor and Entrepreneur and Rebuild: The Economy, Leadership, and You. A former particle physicist and Procter & Gamble manager, he now leads Evolutesix, applying ergodic finance, FairShares Commons incorporation, and adaptive governance to build net positive, antifragile businesses. He equips founders, investors, and organizations to thrive in uncertainty while serving people, planet, and profit by design.

Graham Boyd – CREATE A NET POSITIVE / REGENERATIVE ECONOMY

Robin Lincoln Wood Founder at Globalview-Thriveable Transformation

Rethinking the Very Foundations of Business

He helps founders, investors, and leaders build companies that are inherently regenerative—net positive for people, planet, and profit. Drawing on careers in particle physics, corporate leadership, and entrepreneurship, he has developed tools like ergodic investing and FairShares Commons incorporation to hardwire integrity, adaptability, and shared success into organizations. His mission: to replace a failing economic system with one that helps all life thrive, even in the face of uncertainty.

From Particle Physics to Regenerative Economics

Beginning as a particle physicist, Graham was fascinated by how the smallest elements of the universe operate in harmony with complexity, uncertainty, and change—principles he would later apply to economic design.

His career moved from research labs into corporate leadership at Procter & Gamble, where he mastered managing large systems and global markets. Beneath the metrics, he saw that the economic structures were fundamentally misaligned with the wellbeing of people and planet.

Convinced the root cause of global crises lies in how we incorporate and fund businesses, he left corporate life to become a serial entrepreneur, integrating insights from complex systems science, finance, and organizational psychology into new business models.

Through years of experimentation, he developed Evolutesix—a regenerative business ecosystem applying ergodic investing and FairShares Commons incorporation so all stakeholders share governance and success. Rather than patch the old economy, his work builds antifragile systems that grow stronger through uncertainty, like natural ecosystems.

His books distill these approaches into practical blueprints for founders, investors, and leaders who want an economy that regenerates rather than extracts. Today, he works with entrepreneurs, impact investors, and organizations to shift mindsets, redesign structures, and create an economy future generations can thrive in.

Top 20 Quotes from Graham Boyd

1. “What if we could create an economy that works for the planet, for people, and for profit?”
2. “We can rise, phoenix-like, from today’s burning global challenges.”
3. “We can build a regenerative global economy by using ergodic finance and investment.”
4. “Picasso and Einstein realised a century ago, when problems are insoluble, it’s because the way we’re looking at the world is the problem.”
5. “Rebuild is a DIY toolkit for you to be regenerative, net positive, to solve wicked challenges, from your personal challenges through to our global ones.”
6. “The climate crisis, 17 sustainable development goals, and the personal challenges we are facing cannot be solved if we just try harder.”
7. “Every gentle attempt to change the system… will get pulled back to the status quo, unless we also remove the root cause of the gravity holding us in the status quo.”
8. “The root cause is — in how we incorporate business today.”
9. “A regenerative economy grows each of us as individuals; it grows our natural environments… and it grows our societies.”
10. “Antifragile is the how nature works… Each of us, our businesses, and our economy needs to become antifragile, not just resilient.”
