The Ethical Evolution Podcast Ethical Change Agency

My next guest and I connected through the  internet and realised our missions aligned. Based in London, this guest has practically been around the world and has a background in ecology and research - which has lead to some amazing innovation that can save the world’s oceans.

Flavio Affinato is a Co-Founder of NuOceans - They have found a way to make flip flops out of old flip flops and plastic bottles recovered from the seas and beaches. They repurposed these materials to offer a quality and comfort comparable to that of the largest brands. They offer a unisex line inspired by the ocean that gives back to the ocean. 

Their mission is to clean up our oceans that are littered with tonnes of disposed flip-flops or thongs as we call them here and recycle them to become brand new that can also be recycled again. If you know of connections that could support or connect Flavio and his team in their mission, please get in touch.

My next guest approached me online to be a part of the podcast and I can truly see why he did. When you come across people like this guy, you wish there were more of them in the world.

Joel Hawbaker is a real life leader, professional speaker, author, award winning teacher, coach, husband and father. He lives in Alabama USA with his wife Maryellyn, two daughters and two rescue dogs. Joel has spent his life navigating blended family life as someone who is used to 4 parents and 2 homes and now helps others to find their way when they struggle as a step parent.

After we discussed his strategies around coaching, family life and courageous humility it became clear that the central theme of kindness shone through. Joel is one of the kindest, most generous, big hearted people I have come across in a while and left a mark on me - I hope you gain the same inspiration from our conversation.

My next guest is no stranger to getting behind the microphone with me. A great friend and an award winning chef she specialises in food that suits everyone’s lifestyle and DNA. After years as a personal trainer she noticed that not everyone is the same and wasn’t getting the same results. She was determined to find a way to get better results for everyone.

Sharna Clermont - also known as Sharna X Lee is a Bio-Genetic Health and Wellbeing Coach who is giving people extra time with their loved ones while aligning them with their health goals. Using a personal health system known as PH360, she delves into your health type, finding the best ways for you as an individual to leverage your DNA to live your best life, producing phenomenal results. This means finding out what you should eat, when to eat, where to eat, who to eat with, how to exercise and when, and also when and how you should rest. It’s really all about getting the manual of you that you wish you always had.

My next guest and I crossed paths over 8 years ago when I hosted a local LGBTIQ radio show called Get Your Queer On. I interviewed him then after he had come out to the nation on TV as a contestant on Big Brother. Soon after this reality tv experience he was used as a political football and was bashed for being gay in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley. Back then this wasn’t an easy conversation to have - luckily since then things have changed.

David Graham - best known as Ruff Track (http://www.rufftrack.com) for kids aged between 13-17 who have gone off the rails to give them skills, engagement, education, a sense of self worth and community. They help to empower these young people by helping them establish trust and bonds with amazing working dogs. The 12 week journey sees them 'joining up' with a young dog at a similar stage in life to themselves and working together to accomplish daily goals of manners, communication, overcoming challenges, sheep herding, and fun dog Sports such as K9 Super Wall and DockDogs.

The RuffTRACK crew then takes this knowledge on the road with incredible community outreach programs and performances in schools across Australia.

Knowing Dave - this sounds like a match made in heaven.

My next guest was recommended to me by another guest in an exercise where they pay it forward. I was excited by their mission and the impact I can see them making globally to help the planet. Their entrepreneurial background on how to build a company means their skills can be used to scale a social impact business that helps create collective change.

Ignacio Carcavallo is a digital nomad and Founder of Treevotion (http://www.treevotion.com) with the key mission is to plant 1 billion trees around the world in the most needed areas, building global awareness and consciousness on deforestation, driving people to help and share what they do in order to inspire to help everyday. Every bracelet sold will fund the planting and follow up of 2 trees. I’ve bought my bracelet and selected to plant 2 trees right here in Australia and have received my certificate. Why don’t you join me and Treevotion in the forestation revolution.

My next guest is no stranger to a podcast with me. She has been the voice for modern slavery and human trafficking in Australia in recent years. After seeing the women in Germany being trafficked across eastern borders for sex and supporting them, she returned home to Australia, thinking we were immune to such horror. She soon discovered that the reality was that modern slavery did exist in Australia for tens of thousands of people and not just the sex trade - this made her angry and fueled her mission to create the Freedom Hub.

Sally Irwin is the Founder of Freedom Hub, which is a registered charity that equips survivors to live in freedom and they welcome volunteers and local fundraising events to help this cause succeed.

They also run a social enterprise café and retail store, which provides an opportunity for every Australian to choose ethically sourced products with no slavery in the supply chain, while making a difference in the lives of others. 100% of profits support the administration of our Survivor School.

With Freedom Hub cafes on the Gold Coast and in Sydney, along with an event venue focused on ethical event celebrations, this truly is a cause we need to get behind.
