Eco-Logic

Odd Mondays @11am

I’m Bernie Stephan — a real estate broker, radio host, and student of how we live on this land. I believe in free speech, honest conversation, and a clear-eyed, no-bull look at the systems shaping our lives — and their consequences.

Eco-Logic explores home — the shared root of ecology and economy — and asks a deeper question: what does it mean to belong to a place as the world we’ve built begins to shift beneath us?

Home isn’t just a roof overhead; it’s our watershed, our community, our tribe, and ultimately our shared Mother Earth.  Here on Eco-Logic we dig into modern systems that we depend on — energy, resources, housing, land use, technology — and ask how they’re shaping our lives, our options, and our future.

Host Info: Bernie Stephan was born near Hamburg, Germany, and immigrated to Canada as a child before eventually landing in California. A UC Irvine pioneer from its very first year, Bernie began his career in computer programming with Pacific Telephone & Telegraph. He met his wife, Jerilyn, in San Francisco, and together they built a life across Marin and Sonoma—raising two children and later welcoming four grandchildren. After years in corporate IT and consulting, Bernie shifted his focus homeward, becoming a real estate appraiser and then a real estate broker. He went on to launch and manage three RE/MAX offices and has since helped guide thousands of homeowners and families through major life transitions. Bernie’s current company, Eco Realty, reflects his concern for the living planet, connecting where we live with how we live, and asking what it means to call a place “home” in a rapidly changing world.
