In this episode, we welcome Andres Roberts, Founding Partner for the Bio-Leadership Project. A place where a new story of leadership is growing, working with the rules of life: cycles, connection, regeneration, reciprocity and love.
The vision for the Bio-Leadership Project is to help a global ecosystem of people to grow this new story all over the world.
Five kinds of Bio-Leadership stories are redefining human progress. The work is about helping these stories connect up and grow.🌱 New forms of purpose and progress connected to nature.
🌱 New organisational forms that work like nature.
🌱 New ways of working as ecosystems, inspired by nature.
🌱 New, regenerative models of organisation and society.
🌱 New cultures that reconnect to nature and the web of life.
Andres, Ella and Javi believe that to grow new forms of leadership, we need to grow new forms of knowledge.
And to navigate complex and urgent times, we need to cultivate human capacities for resilience, connection, adaptability, systemic awareness, and care for things greater than ourselves.
Bio-Leadership is about working with nature to grow these qualities as individuals, communities, businesses and society.
This is a rich and emotive conversation. Listen to the end to hear an exploration of nature and a desire to rekindle that worldview of nature's our home as well.

In this episode of the Future Planet Podcast, we adventure with Hermione Taylor, the visionary founder and CEO of Do Nation. Hermione is an early pioneer in promoting sustainable actions and living.
Her journey began in 2009 with an inspiring cycling trip from London to Morocco, a challenge not just for her but for those around her. Instead of seeking financial support, Hermione urged her friends and family to commit to sustainable actions.
What started as a personal challenge quickly transformed into a global movement.
Under Hermione's leadership, Do Nation has collaborated with over 500 organizations in 100 countries. Nearly 60,000 individuals have made pledges, collectively saving an astounding 16,500 tonnes of CO2 annually.
This achievement is equivalent to offsetting over 42,500 flights from London to Morocco, a testament to the power of collective action. And no, that doesn’t mean that we can now take those winter holidays without careful thought about our personal carbon budget.In this episode you will hear:
🌱 Hermione's pioneering journey to empower everyday actions
🌱 How COP and CSRD are creating urgency and driving change
🌱 Collaboration, when it works, where its edges are and the opportunities it createsWe also explore how the movement has changed. And how with more people joining and creating solutions, which is wonderful, that also creates a need to evolve.
Listen to the end to hear us explore:
• the very real challenge of money, finance and allocation of resources to supporting the people and solving the challenges we face
• a curious link to how our approach could be different if we adopted the successes of a pilot project that helped people into workWhere shall we go next, what questions shall we ask?

Brad Vanstone is the Founder of Willicroft, a plant‑based cheese producer making planet‑proof cheese for dairy cheese lovers. Inspired by Brad’s family's dairy farming roots dating back to 1957, Willicroft was re‑imagined as a plant‑based cheese company in Amsterdam in 2018.
This is a journey of an inspiring story of passion, tenacity and commitment to doing the right thing.
In this episode, we hear the story of how Brad:🌱 Grew up in his Grandparents' dairy farm
🌱 Started from humble beginnings experimenting with recipes in a flat, where he had an attic full of hundreds of kilos of nuts and various other ingredients.
🌱 Had to completely rebuild the product and business, as they discovered that the original recipe nuts had a higher impact than the legumes that they now use. A brave example of commitment to planet -first innovation
🌱 Put Mother Nature as CEO, to place the planet's future front and centre behind every decision they make.
Listen to the end to hear us explore regenerative farming financing, subsidies, taxes as incentivisation - and disincentivization - and some of the blockers and solutions to truly transforming farming and food.

About Brad Vanstone
Fuelled by concerns about the future of our planet, Brad Vanstone began eating a mainly plant-based diet on moving to Amsterdam. He found the transition easier than he’d imagine with the exception of cheese. Unable to find many plant-based cheese alternatives in the supermarket, Brad started making it at home. Months of experimentation later, and with some basic knowledge of dairy cheese making from time spent growing up on his Grandparents’ dairy farm, Brad founded Willicroft in 2018.The name originates from Willicroft Farm in Devon founded by his grandparents in 1957. Brad is reimagining how we consume cheese combining age-old techniques with a more planet-friendly ingredient base. With Mother Nature as their CEO, Willicroft is placing the planet's future front and centre behind every decision they make.
