When a crisis hits, how do you lead - and innovate - at the same time?

In this episode of Igniting Change, Puff sits down with Jamie Lesueur, Head of Emergency Operations at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), to explore how technology is reshaping humanitarian aid from the inside out.

From new digital tools that deliver faster, fairer assistance to the power of trust in complex emergency networks, Jamie shares what it really takes to rethink crisis response for a more connected world.

It's a raw, honest look at innovation under pressure, and what happens when humanity and technology work together to save lives.

When people talk about climate action, it's usually doom, gloom, and existential dread.

Justdiggit flips that script. In this episode, Puff sits down with Merel Rikveld, Head of Communications at Justdiggit, to dig into the movement that's turning degraded land green again, and doing it at scale.

Merel shares how local communities in Kenya, Tanzania and Senegal are restoring land, bringing back millions of trees, and even reshaping cultural dynamics through grassroots leadership. We get into the tech behind it - from satellite imagery to digital regreening, and the creativity that turns data into stories people can actually connect with. If you want a climate conversation that's hopeful, grounded, and obsession-worthy, this one's for you!

Turns out, it's the perfect recipe for an honest (and slightly chaotic) chat about where AI for good is heading.

Join the convo to get the inside scoop from Duncan and Matt at 3 Sided Cube before our new AI Adoption report drops on 12 November.

• And of course, a rousing game of Stat or Cap

🎧 Tune in for laughs, insights, and your first look at what's next in AI adoption.

Wildfires are one of the fastest-growing natural threats on the planet, and the race to detect them earlier has never been more urgent.

Maps aren't just lines and dots. In the right hands, they're tools for resilience.

In this episode of Igniting Change, we sit down with Nicole Siggins, researcher and civic technologist, to talk about the messy, human process of turning community data into tools that actually make a difference.

Nicole shares lessons from years of work at the intersection of mapping, research, and civic infrastructure, where mentorship is scarce, partnerships can be tricky, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

Caring for a child comes with huge responsibility. And when emergencies happen, every second matters.

In this episode of Igniting Change, Emma speaks with Jill Hernandez from the American Red Cross about how the organisation is reimagining childcare training and launching a brand-new Childcare App with 3 Sided Cube.

Together they explore how the Red Cross supports tens of thousands of caregivers every year, why modernising this training was overdue, and how tech can give caregivers the confidence to act, whether that means handling everyday care or stepping up in a life-threatening moment.

This is a story about empowerment, community, and the tools that make care safer for everyone.

Season 8 of Igniting Change kicks off with a candid conversation on America's gun violence epidemic, and the tech that's helping fight it.

We recorded this episode with Everytown for Gun Safety, the largest gun violence prevention organisation in the U.S., after hearing them share a sobering reality: America is the only country in the world with more guns than citizens. With a population of 331 million, that's a statistic that says it all.

Puff sits down with Nick Suplina, Senior VP for Law & Policy at Everytown. Nick talks openly about America's gun violence crisis, the gaps in data that keep progress stalled, and how Everytown is using AI to change the story.

What do Nike ads and methane leaks have in common? Not much — unless you're Pooja Munsshi.

To wrap up Season 7, we're joined by Pooja from the UN Environment Programme's International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO), who left a high-flying marketing career to take on one of the planet's most urgent climate challenges.

We talk career pivots, building data platforms that people actually use, and how to turn transparency into action. This one's packed with insight for anyone working in tech, climate, or just wondering what it takes to step into something that really matters.
