    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

    Love at the Centre: Gareth Jenkins

    Seasoned creative, entrepreneur, and advocate for a regenerative future, Gareth Jenkins joins Let’s Reboot the Future to share how life experiences, from encounters with racism to time spent at Plum Village, gently chipped away at his childhood naivety and led him back to something deeper: a belief that the future doesn’t have to be a continuation of the way things are today, and that we can remake it with kindness, fairness, and love at its centre. Gareth reflects on how waking up to the harshness of the world can create both emptiness and a longing to learn new ways of living and seeing, ways that move beyond fear, protection, and the masks we build, and instead reconnect us to what it means to be human. He shares why he believes emotional intelligence, time in nature, and immersive experiences offer powerful guidance for shaping a better future, not through data and models alone, but through emotions, connection, and the stories that remind us what truly matters. This is a hopeful story about responsibility, creativity, and the courage to believe that a kinder world is possible. Gareth Jenkins is currently Global Head of Storytelling at EY, working with the firm’s senior leadership to craft human-centric narratives across sustainability, technology and geopolitics. His work aims to inspire EY’s people and clients that a better tomorrow is possible, and that those of us in business have a role and responsibility to make it a reality.  Here he speaks to us in his personal capacity as a storyteller and creative.

    Follow Your Heart: John Perkins

    American author John Perkins joins Let’s Reboot the Future to reflect on what it really means to follow your heart, and the courage it takes to keep listening to that inner voice even when it disrupts expectations, security and status. John shares how dropping out of college to become a journalist in Boston set him on an unexpected path that allowed him to build skills in both writing and business. Over time, these came together in his bold attempt to tackle the problem of acid rain caused by waste coal, transforming it into a positive energy source. He reflects on the challenges of turning vision into reality, from financial strain to disappointing others, and the deep uncertainty that often accompanies meaningful change. Yet this work ultimately contributed to the success of an energy plant and to legislation that prevented new coal plants from being built that would produce acid rain. For John, following the heart is rarely easy, but it is always necessary. He reminds us that lasting change begins by listening closely to ourselves, trusting that inner guidance, and being willing to walk a more difficult but more truthful path.

    Think about the world in a different way: Marie Klimis

    Writer, theatre maker and producer specialising in immersive and site specific performance, Marie Klimis joins Let’s Reboot the Future to share her stories and reflect on how she has learned, and helped others, to think about the world in a different way. Marie reflects on learning early in life that rules need to be questioned, and that being kind, being a good person, and not betraying anyone’s trust sit powerfully at the heart of how we should live, even when this runs against what we are told. Moving from a background in business into socially engaged, political immersive theatre and site specific performance, Marie describes creating environments outside of traditional theatre spaces. Spaces centred on empathy, and on building together a more inclusive and more multicultural view of the world. She shares why using play and fiction to get people to think about important things is so powerful, and reflects on her first family show, Checkpoint Universe, created as a way to spark better narratives around migration. This episode is rooted in imagination, empathy, and a belief that small actions can be just as life changing as large ones. Marie is the Artistic Director of Koro, a charity dedicated to immersive theatre that celebrates urgent contemporary stories and marginalised voices, also a founding member and director of 27 degrees, a migrant-led collective creating socially engaged immersive theatre.

    Lead with passion: Augustus Hoff

    Augustus Hoff, conservationist and storyteller, shows how passion can bridge divides and inspire care for the environment beyond our own backyard. He reflects on how growing up in a small Florida town taught him the importance of connecting across differences and inspiring care for the natural world. Now pursuing a master’s in environmental science and policy at CU Boulder, he shares his insights on science communication and environmental policy, translating the importance of ocean health to people who may never have seen the sea.  Augustus encourages us to approach even polarised differences with curiosity and empathy, and to lead with passion in connecting with others and the world around us.

    Story Matters: Becky Burchell

    Artist and Creative Producer Becky Burchell joins Let’s Reboot the Future to reflect on the power of story and how the arts can create spaces that feel exploratory, creative and safe. Spaces where people can lean in, sit with difficult emotions, and imagine different futures. Growing up in an activist household, Becky was surrounded by conversations about nuclear weapons, peace, and the very real fear of global destruction. Alongside this, fiction played a formative role in helping her understand both the consequences of our actions and the futures we might choose instead. This early combination of activism, fear and imagination continues to shape her work today. Becky reflects on her play The World We Made as a space where audiences could explore their feelings about the climate crisis, question the systems around them, and think ambitiously about solutions, because without space to imagine differently, we risk continuing on the same course. Reading and storytelling have influenced Becky throughout her life and work across the arts, environmentalism and community, helping her hold both fear and hope at the same time. A vital practice when facing complex challenges and imagining the futures we want to create. 📻 Tune in to this inspiring story on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or Reboot the Future podcast.rebootthefuture.org  Subscribe for more stories and practical tools from Reboot the Future. www.rebootthefuture.org

    Enthusiasm is infectious: Dhiraj Mukherjee

    Shazam Co-Founder and Tech for Good investor, Dhiraj Mukherjee, speaks this week about the extraordinary things we can achieve if we give people a chance. The desire to contribute and give back has always been part of Dhiraj’s story. From earnest days as a Boy Scout to what looked, from the outside, like a surprising right-angle turn away from Shazam, he chose to take his business knowledge into the charity sector, working with Save the Children to help raise more money for children around the world. Dhiraj took from Save the Children a belief that the young can achieve extraordinary things if given the chance. He believes we need the optimism, enthusiasm and willingness to make a change that they bring. To Dhiraj this is a team game. Engaging with others, who can show even baby steps towards a goal, creates the kind of infectious enthusiasm that makes change possible.  Subscribe for more stories and practical tools from Reboot the Future. www.rebootthefuture.org

  8. A Kinder World, According to Year 6: Churchill CE Primary School

    A Kinder World, According to Year 6: Churchill CE Primary School

    This week, for Christmas, we are turning Let’s Reboot the Future upside down. Where we usually ask our adult guests what advice they would give to inspire their younger and more naive selves to stay courageous, to hold on to kindness and fairness in their actions, this week we asked children to advise the adults. Sandy from Reboot the Future visited Churchill Church of England Primary School in Westerham to talk with a group of Year 6s about their thoughts on kindness and fairness in our world. All of them wanted a stop to violence, to war, gun crime and bullying, especially online. They wanted us to embrace and celebrate differences, to champion each other’s wins, and to make each other feel seen and cared for, particularly when we notice that someone is hurting. We learn so many important and courageous lessons as children from our parents, schools and communities about how we treat each other and our planet. Treating each other and the planet as you would wish to be treated is one of them. We hope this episode reminds you of the acts of care and kindness you have shown and been shown throughout your life, and that it brings back happy memories of moments that shaped you.
