Sisyphus is No Obstacle - Chris Nunn on the Clarity to Catalyse

from Finding Nature · host Nathan Robertson-Ball

Today's guest is the greatest personification of the sustainability change maker I've met - Chris Nunn. Chris is what many of us likely aspire to be as professionals - deeply knowledgable, remarkably driven and incredibly hard working. It's easy to be impressed by the sheer depth and breadth of what he knows. But The more I've come to know Chris over the years, the more I've come to know him as a person. Warm, compassionate, generous and grounded.With a career spanning law, consulting and large scale property businesses, Chris has also dedicated a large part of his working life to serving on many, many professional associations and industry groups as part of his own mission to enact meaningful and urgent change in the built environment. Beyond that though, Chris is a loving father and husband, passionate mountain biker and crossfitter, and a faithful friend.In my own efforts this past year, Chris has been integral in acting as a trusted advisor and active contributor to Finding Nature being and becoming what it is, and it's a real pleasure to bring him and part of his own story, philosophy and experiences to this broader community.One last place you can sign up is at  findingnature.substack.com where each month I publish a series of contributions from other professionals working in the sustainability and impact fields on what motivates them, their philosophies and how that informs their daily lives. The most recent edition was published on the topic of time and how it pervades and informs so much of our thinking. The six contributions are all poignant and perceptive, and I really loved getting this one out. Give it a read, offer a comment and share it to those who you think might enjoy it.The next newsletter edition arrives in inboxes this Saturday, and with Chris in mind plus the theme of help, this quote from one of the greatest leadership and change practitioners over the last century John P Kotter is appropriate: 'Effective leaders help others to understand the necessity of change and to accept a common vision of the desired outcome.”Til next time, thanks for listening.Today's show is delivered with Altiorem.

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene (Full Audiobook) Robert Greene Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in t Rise Healer Rise with Sara Estelle Sara Turner Rise Healer Rise is a long-running podcast hosted for by Sara Estelle.
