  1. The world needs humility, kindness & love: Rich Good

    3D AGO

    The world needs humility, kindness & love: Rich Good

    Rich Good has spent over 40 years exploring the human condition, drawing on both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions. At the heart of his episode is a black and white photograph of Rich as a young boy, beaming outside a wigwam in his grandmother’s garden in Aberdeen. A child full of love and ready for adventure. He takes us through the journey of that boy’s life, the challenges he faced, the people who supported and shaped him, and how it became an apprenticeship in the human condition. Shared with honesty and care, in the hope that whoever needs to hear it might feel less alone, and see the possibility held within life’s challenges. Rich also reflects on a wide-ranging career rooted in a profound love of nature, and inspired by Earth Wisdom Teachings. From time with First Nations teachers to his work at the Eden Project, designing and delivering leadership programmes for HotHouse. At the heart of it all is a belief that many of us are seeking a different way of being with each other, one rooted in humility, kindness and love, now central to his work with the charity Humility, Kindness and Love (HKL) Having worked holistically with individuals and organisations for nearly 40 years and as  co-founder of the Imaginal Collective and One Good Life , Rich invites people to create a life where there is PEACE in the Mind, HOPE in the Heart and JOY in the Soul. He is also a board member of the international charity,  HKL which  fosters humility, kindness and love across the globe to create a more beautiful world.

    Get Curious, Not Furious: Daryl Davis

    Daryl Davis is an American musician, lecturer, activist and author whose life’s work has been shaped by a simple question: why would you hate me when you don’t even know me? He has spent decades studying, seeking out and speaking with members of hate groups, including the Ku Klux Klan. Through Daryl’s calm, human conversations, many have chosen to leave these organisations and encourage others to do the same. Daryl believes we learn to hate, and that what is learned can be unlearned. At the heart of this is our ability to listen and to speak with each other. He shares five things he believes we all crave in life, and that when we recognise these needs in each other, it becomes easier to connect and value one another: to be loved, respected and heard, to be treated truthfully and fairly, and to want for our families what others want for theirs. Daryl shares more of his experiences and insights in his book The Klan Whisperer.  Subscribe for more stories and practical tools from Reboot the Future. www.rebootthefuture.org

    Trusting what you know is right

    Jennifer Nadel shares what it means to trust what you know is right, even when others dismiss it as naive. From protesting as a young girl in the countryside to drafting a law to make it an offence for politicians to deliberately deceive the public, she reflects on how taking action, even when it does not succeed, moves us out of despair and into something more hopeful and generative. Years on, that once dismissed idea is now being taken forward in Wales and considered in Westminster. A conversation about truth, persistence and the quiet courage it takes to keep going. Jennifer Nadel is co-director of Compassion in Politics, a UK cross-party think tank bringing politicians together across divides. She is also Director of  Compassionate Politics at Stanford University’s Centre for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.

    Honest by Nature : Rai Lewis

    Rachel (Rai) Lewis is the director and co-founder of Plant One, a Cornish woodland creation CIC restoring habitats and connecting communities with nature across the South West. Rai is also autistic, and in this conversation she speaks candidly about what it’s like to move through a world that often perceives her as naïve. She shares some of the traits many autistic people experience - struggling to detect lies quickly, finding it difficult to lie convincingly, and navigating social contexts that neurotypical people often take for granted. For Rai, this has often meant being judged as lacking “street smarts” -  including when she decided to launch Plant One with her business partner without startup funding. But what others might see as naïve, she understands as something else entirely: honesty, passion, and a deep commitment to what matters. That passion is woodland creation. Today, Rai and the Plant One community are planting trees across Cornwall, restoring habitats and bringing wildlife back to the landscape. This episode is a conversation about honesty, perception, and the power of caring deeply enough to act. Disclaimer: the views and opinions expressed in this podcast are the experiences and opinions of one autistic individual and do not necessarily reflect the wide array of difficulties and experiences of all autistic individuals.  Subscribe for more stories and practical tools from Reboot the Future. www.rebootthefuture.org

    Bring Your Enthusiasm: Ben Solanky

    Ben Solanky, Co-Founder and Director of Empathy Action, speaks up for not allowing your enthusiasm to be dampened. From a young age, Ben was encouraged to bring his enthusiasm and energy to any task he put his hand to. A sliding door event brought him into the world of development, where he learned that championing a cause is not optional, it is a powerful skill, especially when funding and resources are scarce. Empathy Action works through immersive experiences that help people try to understand complex issues from the perspective of “What if it were me?” They are now taking on British poverty through their new immersive experience, Broke. It invites participants to stop. To take a moment to feel. To listen. To reflect. To interrupt our stride as we walk past these issues every day.

    One Person Can Uplift Thousands: Sarah Howard

    Sarah Howard, Managing Director of the Global Philanthropy Forum, speaks up against allowing others to judge our ideals as naïve. Growing up in the Bay Area, at the heart of Silicon Valley, shaped Sarah’s cultural context; where ideas that might be labelled naïve elsewhere are re-framed as bold, innovative, and novel. She deeply resonates with this energy and brings a willingness to push at the edges of what is considered possible into every space she works in. Sarah describes this bold action through making her film The Way Back to Yarasquin, hitchhiking across the borders of Honduras and El Salvador after meeting one woman, Myra, who captured her imagination. Sarah had a strong feeling that Myra could, and would, change the trajectory of an entire community, and set out to learn how Myra would  create the conditions needed for them to thrive. Sarah also reflects on curiosity as a powerful tool and asset, a key that opens up the world. She encourages us to nurture it, invest in it, and allow ourselves to have fun with imagination as a force for change. A little more about Sarah... Sarah has developed and spearheaded the Global Philanthropy Forum's recent 2.0 strategic vision, the first post-founder strategic transition. A social innovator, entrepreneur, and storyteller, Sarah’s passion for understanding systems has led her across the globe to witness and document complex human and systems stories. She uses narrative development, strategic thinking, and community-building tools to map new structures for society and stories for how to get there. Sarah is particularly passionate about applying her skills to address pressing global issues such as climate change, digital futures, and global governance. Along the way, she has built several initiatives and organizations from these experiences. Her latest documentary Climate Blueprint is currently on a global tour, and her social cohesion project, Listening Lab, is growing alongside her podcast, Track Two, which explores the question ‘What is a good society?’. Sarah grew up in Berkeley and now lives on Ohlone land in Oakland, CA. Subscribe for more stories and practical tools from Reboot the Future. www.rebootthefuture.org

    Limitless Belief: Minnie Moll

    This week we’re joined by Minnie Moll, CEO of the Design Council, who shares stories that shaped her belief in pushing beyond what many think is possible. From growing up on a boat in the English countryside, Minnie’s deep love of nature and animals fuelled a childhood full of adventure and curiosity, always bringing other children along for the ride. She speaks with real pride about creating the Design Council’s Design for Planet mission, launched at COP26 in Glasgow. Built on faith that it was the right thing to do, even without all the answers in place. What some might have seen as naïve, Minnie sees as building in flight, with early implementers shaping something bigger. A powerful example of cathedral thinking in action. We also talk about staying the course, even as climate commitments slip around the world. For Minnie, this isn’t just strategy. It’s a moral imperative and a huge opportunity for growth. As both CEO and coach, Minnie reframes naivety as limitless belief in what’s possible. A refusal to be constrained by barriers. A trust that transformation and a better world can be created. Minnie Moll, Chief Executive, Design Council  Minnie spearheads the Design for Planet mission to help address the climate crisis.     She was previously Chief Executive of Jarrold Retail in Norwich, Joint Chief Executive of the East of England Co-op and held senior leadership roles at Notcutts Garden Centres,?What If!, and HHCL.   She was Vistage Business Leader of the Year in 2020 and an Ambassador for Responsible Business in the East of England in 2016. She is currently an Ambassador for the charity Fresh Start and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from the University of Westminster in 2024 for her contributions to design and innovation.  Subscribe for more stories and practical tools from Reboot the Future. www.rebootthefuture.org
