from Planet Visionaries – SEASON 5 · host A podcast in partnership with The Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative

In this episode of Planet Visionaries, a landmark podcast series in partnership with the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative, host Alex Honnold sits down with Kris Tompkins, former CEO of Patagonia and co-founder of Tompkins Conservation. She explains how she became a trailblazing conservationist, protecting 15 million acres of land by creating or expanding 15 national parks in Chile and Argentina, and rewilding the land by restoring habitats and reintroducing key species such as jaguars, giant river otters, and Darwin's rhea.  For nearly a century, Rolex has supported pioneering explorers. Over time, the company has moved from championing exploration for the sake of discovery to protecting the planet. Through the Perpetual Planet Initiative, Rolex stands alongside the inspiring people who are dedicated to building a better future for all life on Earth.    Stills and footage courtesy: Tompkins Foundation, Rewilding Argentina, Rewilding Chile  Theme and score by Kara Talve for Bleeding Fingers Music, produced by Russell Emanuel.  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts  and follow @sonypodcasts.  Thank you to On Air Presents for their creative, branding and marketing support.   Planet Visionaries is a podcast in partnership with the Rolex Perpetual Planet Initiative and a Sony Music podcast production.  Learn more about your ad choices.

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in Soft, Earthen Futures Storywork Studio Soft, Earthen Futures is a podcast about imagining and crafting a more whole world. We explore what it means to stand at the threshold between what has been and what is trying to emerge, tending to that in-between space, listening for what the earth is dreaming through us, and giving those visions form. This show is for wild-hearted creatives, entrepreneurs, and visionaries. Hosted by founder, story doula, and eco-somatic depth guide, Daje Aloh.
