Business for People, Planet, Profits, and Orangutans

from Granite Goodness · host Andy DeMeo

On this episode Andy talks to his sustainability "sensei", Fiona Wilson, who reveals her journey from selling beer ads in Thatcherite Britain to leading the charge for eco-friendly business practices in the U.S. They dive into the challenges of merging profit with planet-saving initiatives, laugh about printing manifestos on soap bottles, and debate whether saving the world is all about sustainability, civics, or just making sure we remember the orangutans. Andy unsuccessfully attempts to leverage this interview into a private sailing lesson. Fiona Wilson is the Deputy Chief Sustainability Officer at the University of New Hampshire.Links & Notes:University of New Hampshire Sustainability Institute (UNHSI)Sustainability Indicator Management & Analysis Platform (SIMAP)New Hampshire Social Venture Innovation ChallengeUNHSI Fellows ProgramMusic provided by Sneaky MilesTo learn more about us or read our Good News in New Hampshire Newsletter, go to granitegoodness.comInstagram:@sustainableunh@sneakymiles@granitegoodness Get full access to Granite Goodness at www.granitegoodness.com/subscribe

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
