John Walker held the position of President and CEO of Interface Europe and Asia Pacific before retiring a number of years ago. This leading quoted company in the world of commercial interiors with a turnover of over one billion pounds and seven thousand employees acquired John's services in 1988 with the corporate acquisition of Heuga. Heuga is a Dutch based company, best known for the manufacture and marketing of carpet tiles. John joined Heuga in 1972. Interface built an enviable reputation for customer service as well as winning a number of awards in the category of 'The Best Company to Work For'. John started his working life as a professional soccer player, having played for England schoolboys, but was forced to retire from this sport following a serious injury, after which he pursued a career in finance. He achieved a first place in the ACCA Accountancy Examination and worked in the motor and advertising industries before joining Heuga, moving to Holland with the Company in 1978 as group finance director. He transferred to Sales and Marketing during the eighties with profit responsibility for just about every part of Heuga (now Interface) stretching from Western Europe to Australia and Japan. In addition, he pioneered the opening of a number of businesses for Interface in Eastern Europe in the early nineties . He also helped to develop and initiate a strategy to enable Interface to become the first name in industrial ecology and a truly sustainable enterprise. Since retirement, John has set up and helped to develop a number of successful businesses in the following business sectors: change management consultants, a nursing home group specialising in care for mentally ill patients, a company specialising in development of software products for the recruitment industry, a business to business mobile/landline communications company, a digital advertising company and a tennis centre incorporating a top tennis academy.

Investigating homicides, leading international teams into scenes of crisis and disaster is not your normal path to global keynote speaker and business consultant. It was this unique path that provided insights into leadership which are so different yet offer relevant reflections and learnings to businesses facing change, growth or challenges of their own. Peter Baines worked in countries following major crisis including Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. His grounding came from two decades as a forensic investigator that saw him unravel the mysteries and discover the secrets of criminals thought rested solely with them. Prior to finishing his career as a forensic investigator he would spend time working with both Interpol in Lyon, France and the United Nations Office of Drug and Crime advising on Counter Terrorism and capacity building. But it was the work in Thailand that brought the biggest change. In response to the needs of the children left without a home or parents he would form Hands Across the Water and commence fundraising in Australia to build them a home. Ten years after starting the charity he now spends much of his time helping other charity leaders through The Growth Project and advises business on how they can and indeed should benefit from their engagement with their community partners through corporate social responsibility programs.

Loving Earth is best known for its organic chocolate products and the story began in 2007 when Scott, along with cofounder Martha Butler, returned to Melbourne from Mexico, bringing with them the ingredients to create their very first chocolate bars. Scott’s mission is to support disenfranchised farming communities around the world by bringing a brand to market created from local commodities like cacao, by commercialising these commodities in a way that allows indigenous people to continue their ancient, sustainable farming practices. Loving Earth was founded with the mission to create the highest quality, whole food raw chocolate bars based on ingredients from around the globe that honour both the Indigenous communities who cultivate them and the earth and ecosystems in which they are grown. Task is working on an initiative with Loving Earth that will allow their customers to scan their chocolate bar with their smartphone, launching a web page/app that connects them directly with the Ashaninka communities who produced the raw cacao. They will be able to pledge support as well as taking part in Loving Earth’s regenerative program by donating trees to be planted. A process that supports the community, the environment and brings Loving Earth consumers closer to the products they purchase. About Loving Earth Loving Earth is dedicated to sourcing and manufacturing the highest quality organic, fairly-traded and wild-crafted functional foods and raw chocolate.

In this episode I speak with Ryan Godden. Ryan is originally from Queensland, Australia and now lives in Pai, a small town in Thailand about 140kms north of Chiang Mai. Ryan started life as a tradesman until shifting his focus to animal welfare about 10 years ago. He runs Pete’s Mission, a rescue and rehabilitation centre looking out for the local animal community, which is mostly dogs but he’s also taken in horses, pigs, birds, reptiles and any animal that needs help. We talked about Ryans work and experience with animals. We recorded outside at sunset so it’s shorter than we had hoped as we were in the dark by the end but still a productive and interesting conversation. You can find out more about Ryan at his website: https://www.petesmission.org Also...the picture of Ryan with the dog was taken a week ago and you''ll be glad to know the dog is recovering well and looks a lot better now.…

Meet Steve Galster and Tim Redford - the leaders behind www.freeland.org, and business partners for the last 20+ years. The Freeland vision is "A World Free of Wildlife Trafficking and Human Slavery" with a mission to "Innovate, develop, and continually improve programs and tools that empower society to overcome organized crime and corruption to restore secure, resilient communities and ecosystems.” In a world where big business owns Government, and the rich vs poor extremities are ever increasing, this is no easy task. But Steve & Tim have an impressive long-term track record of success in this field. In this episode they discuss the work they do at Freeland, in particular some of the success they have had in helping restore (previously believed to be extinct) Tiger populations in Thailand - how the world of human trafficking operates, ways to identify illegal products, and what you can do.
