Power to Purpose with Andy Samuel

from Success Matters Hosted by Sanjai Mehta

What happens when someone once responsible for digging oil and gas out of the ground becomes an environmentalist? In this episode of Success Matters, I talk with Andy Samuel, CBE. From leading remote geological expeditions in Indonesia to managing thousands of people in the oil and gas sector and advising British Prime Ministers, Andy’s career has been defined by learning and adaptation. Now, from his 85-acre rewilding farm in North Devon, he reflects on the softer elements of leadership that drive material results, the internal friction of shifting away from a fast-paced executive life, and the intrinsic joy found in slowing down. Tune in for a thoughtful, grounded discussion on why treating people how they want to be treated is the ultimate leadership strategy, and how small, deliberate choices accumulate into meaningful global change.
