| Anushka Purohit on Reducing Food Waste by Turning Bread into Beer | 13 Mar 2023 | 00:35:29 | |
One third of the food we produce globally is wasted. We are facing food shortages worldwide, but we actually produce enough calories to feed everyone on the planet. If that's not reason enough to solve the food waste problem, think about this - 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste. For context, the airline industry produced 2.5%

| 2022 Wrap Up - 5 Things I've Learned about Purpose-Driven Business | 15 Dec 2022 | 00:21:25 | |
I started this podcast wanting to learn from women whose work was purposeful. I believed that Purpose was something you found and when this happened, everything would fall into place. What I found was that Purpose is really more of a direction than a destination. And this is actually part of the reason that it’s so powerful in our work lives. It forces us to innovate and collaborate. It forces us to think long term. It encourages diverse thinking. And for all of these reasons, Purpose isn’t just good for solving problems. It’s good for business. As I wind back over 2022, here are 5 lessons I’ve learned about purpose-driven business this year: 2. Purpose drives diversity Connect with me!

| Brittany Welsh on Manifesting the Life you Want | 28 Mar 2022 | 00:46:12 | |
While the idea of creating your reality through the power of thought is nothing new, "manifesting" has gained a lot of momentum recently. Google searches for ‘manifesting’ went up more than 600%. On TikTok, views of manifestation content are surging past 9 billion. So what’s going on? When the world feels deeply unstable, it’s natural to look for ways to take back control over our realities. While we can’t control a global pandemic, maybe we can control whether or not we become victims of our circumstances. Connect with me!

| Belinda Ng on Gen Z and Sustainability | 10 Jul 2023 | 00:38:40 | |
It's no surprise that Gen Z is the generation most engaged with climate issues. However, you might be surprised by the extent to which the climate is shaping the way Gen Z works. 59% of Gen Zs between the ages of 18 and 22 will stay longer with employers who are socially and environmentally responsible. And in Australia, young workers are leaving businesses which are not doing enough to respond to climate change. In this episode, I'm speaking to recent university graduate, founder of the SustainaPod podcast and sustainable food advocate Belinda Ng about the ways in which climate change has shaped her career goals. In this episode, we talk about:
