Sustainability Chats With Friends.
VISUAL + AUDIO PODCAST
A kind and casual podcast with the aim to learn, unlearn*, and explore sustainability-related topics through chats driven by the curiosities of (new and old) friends, across industries and backgrounds; from founders and innovators to conservationists, nutritionists, academics, and those simply curious about sustainability.
Some voices are well-known; others are emerging, but all are big thinkers and disruptors, championing sustainability in their sphere of influence.
The aim is to gently educate, to spark your curiosity, and inspire continued research into topics and innovations that excite you.

WHY I STARTED SCWF
01
To Keep Learning
My master’s degree in Sustainability at Harvard was coming to a close, so I feared that I would stop having these mind-expanding, news-delivering, perspective-shifting conversations with passionate intellectuals.
02
To Ask + Answer Questions Openly
I was at dinner with friends in New York, and one said that he cared about sustainability but was afraid to talk about it because he wasn’t educated on the topic and didn’t want to misspeak. Being afraid of backlash is one of the greatest disservices that has happened to the sustainability movement. It’s a progress-stalling strategy that needs to stop. Nobody or any organisation is perfect; we all face challenges, and all have questions, so let’s work through them together.
03
To Facilitate Knowledge Sharing
To paraphrase one of my favourite authors, Tyson Yunkaporta, a knowledge-keeper who holds knowledge back prevents mini creation events from happening in the minds of others. The podcast started as a gentle educational platform for me to answer my friends’ questions and has morphed into a space where innovators, thought leaders, and change-makers can showcase their views, work, challenges, and insights.
I believe in knowledge sharing + researching what you hear, so I create sheets with key resources from each Chat.
They’re free and easy to skim, so if you don’t have time to tune into a full Chat, have a browse of the Resources.

If you have a spark of curiosity about, or want to highlight your work in, sustainability, regeneration, circularity, wellbeing, or anything in between, I would love to chat with you.
* : Why (un)learning? As much as we like to believe it, we don’t know everything, and in a dynamic field like sustainability, new developments and research show up all the time. Yet, we have a tendency to get stuck in our ways—in our beliefs, behaviours, and thought patterns—which makes us less receptive to learning new things. So, being open to changing our beliefs/behaviours/thoughts as we learn new things, while remaining grounded in our values and sense of truth, is important. Sometimes, what you’ve learned is only one chapter in a much larger book, so being open to changing your beliefs is fundamental to learning new things.
