My guest this week is Bianca Tavella the founder and CEO of Fair Shot, a registered charity & unique social enterprise cafe which is her response to the unbearably high unemployment rate amongst adults with learning disabilities - at a staggering 95%.
Via a year-long training programme & follow on employment programme young adults with learning disabilities have a secure pathway into paid sustainable employment.
There are people making waves everywhere. Waves that uproot the old broken ways and breathe new better ways into being. Walk down Slingsby Place in Covent Garden, central London and there you have activism in action.
This is where Bianca has created her cafe, a place of biodiversity, a rich exchange of different people bringing different qualities to a space that feels calm and cheerful.
The impact Fair Shot is having on people is truly immeasurable. They have had trainees that have started speaking, that have smiled for the first time, that have left their house for the first time since the pandemic started, trainees that have made friends for the first time, gotten their first ever paycheck, worked as part of a team and felt useful for the very first time in their lives.
There is no way to describe the impact other than saying that they are giving their trainees a chance to have everything that they deserve - the basic right to aspire to a career.
What that does to your mental health is limitless.
Thank you so much Bianca for doing so much to create a society where adults with learning disabilities have an equal and fair chance at obtaining and maintaining employment.
When we live by the ethics of People Care, Planet Care & Fair Share, we give ourselves the resilience to create a brighter future.

Harnessing restorative business to heal the world, with author & journalist Esha Chhabra
Esha Chhabra is a journalist who covers sustainability, development, women's issues & mission-driven brands, writing for The Guardian, The New York Times, Economist, Wired,Fast Company & Forbes & awarded 4 grants from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
Esha is also the author of Working to Restore, harnessing the power of ‘feel good, do good’ enterprises & regenerative business, to restore & heal the world.
They are going above and beyond what we call sustainability, which is a term that leaders have become frustrated with. What are we sustaining? This is a broken system. So are we trying to sustain the status quo?
It’s not got us to where we need to be so people were looking for something more effective.
Some forward-looking leaders picked up on the regenerative approach and began to disrupt their own work design approaches and instead embrace this more developmental, restorative eco-system within their organisations.
Esha explains that this approach is about
- restoring the imbalance that’s been created in society, whether it’s social and environmental - regenerating or breathing new life into old ways that are no longer working - bringing about a different iteration that works with the greater good for humans and the planet.
When we choose to keep ourselves informed, if we look through the lens of where the solutions are happening then we don’t paralyse ourselves with fear.
Instead we feel hopeful and optimistic and in that state of openness, we are able to be more creative and innovative in our own approaches to the way we live and work within the context of the planet’s living systems.
We can choose to be part of what works for the whole, and play our part within that.

Transform the world about you, with Lebanon-based founder of Recycler Donation, Maria Abdel Karim
This week's guest is Maria Abdel Karim who is part of Recycler, The Environmental Army, a team of passionate youth working together and creating new sustainable approaches to the waste problem in Lebanon, including recycling waste, doing clean-ups, raising awareness, & using technology & AI for the good of the environment.
Recycler is specialized in solid waste management, environmental education, sustainable innovation and agriculture.
Maria believes that lack of environmental education is making people not take this topic seriously and so therefore they offer quality education to raise the level of awareness among society for a better community.
They work to create a conscious community and achieve the highest waste reduction possible, offering quality education and have clean tech everywhere.
Maria sees success as being:
- a future where there is a letting go of a consumer craving for new - embracing a ‘waste not want not’ mentality where we get to witness the impact of each and every act we make - bridging the gap between the environment and humans by taking innovation to another level.
Thanks Maria for your contribution with Recycler and for sharing all the ways that you help both the environment and the people of Lebanon to have a more regenerative and restorative future.
Thanks also for showing us that when we pull together we can be an army working for the fair share and care of people and the planet.

Surefire way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with Marisa Heath, CEO of Plant-Based Alliance UK
Marisa Heath is the CEO of Plant Based Alliance UK, founded by Oatly, Alpro, The Vegan Society, Upfield and ProVeg UK, as a coalition of civil society groups & businesses with a collective aim of making the UK a global leader in plant-based food & drink.
All these businesses and increasingly more as others join them, have decided to resist the stigma of being different, and stand up together to speak out for what they believe in.
Food systems account for one-third of greenhouse gas emissions globally & plant-based foods are a hugely impactful way of ensuring our food choices are sustainable in the future.
They believe that “A shift towards plant-based will be vital in achieving the Government’s net zero target by 2050”.
Marisa believes it takes courage to
- stand out and be different - speaking out on the need for change despite the opposition - for being a leader in reform
Thank you Marisa for giving us a straightforward way to reduce green house emissions by adopting a plant-based diet, either partially or completely, and thereby contribute to helping getting Britain to net zero by 2050.
Thanks also for showing us that making plant-based food choices can positively impact people and the planet, for future generations to come.

Sharing your message, mission & vision, with impact marketing pro Amel Derragui
This week’s guest is Amel Derragui, a marketing consultant who helps change-makers sell their vision, their ideas and their skills in order to make the visible impact they want to see in the world. Many entrepreneurs are intimidated by marketing but she helps demystifiy what it is really about so you can learn how to do it authentically.
If you want to be a thought leader in your industry choose where you are most comfortable and proficient and drill down on that. Think about the change and transformation you want to make and divide them into three pillars or topics that you can talk about. This helps you keep consistency in your messaging. Don’t worry about repetition. Consistency and repetition will make the connection for people.
The more you speak out, in whichever way you can, the more change-makers will come together and join forces. Because let’s be frank, this can be a lonely space when you’re doing it on your own. There is strength in numbers and there are enough of us out here to really gather momentum. No matter what tools we use to disseminate the information, what is most powerful are the relationships we build and the connections we make.
Amel helps us: - Demystify what marketing is really about and how to do it authentically
- Implement strategies that are aligned with their values and who their are
- Get some tips to rally people around their solution and turn their expertise into visible impact
Thanks Amel for helping us to use marketing as a tool for communicating the impact that we change-makers are trying to have in the world, so that more people get to hear our message, vision and mission, and are encouraged to join forces for the good of people and the planet.
Thanks also for showing us that we can all learn to get our message across and help others know how we can support them.
My guest this week is Katie Lopes, Founder, Creative & Sustainability Director of Stripe and Stare, a B-corp certified brand making super cool and comfy knickers.
Made sustainably in Austria from Beechwood Trees by a company called Lenzing, the Stripe & Stare fabric TENCEL is scientifically proven to be 3 times softer than cotton, wears better & is as breathable as fresh air in a forest of responsibly planted trees.
But she didn’t start out saying, right ‘I’m going to save the planet with compostable knickers’ and hey presto she was doing her thing. No. Sustainability is a journey and we are always working to be the best we can.
Katie and her team were happy that the main body of their knicker was comfy and compostable but there was still the issue of using elastic. Which you obviously need or they will be down around your knees. Their knickers are described by magazines such as The Times and 98% of their customers as the most comfortable they have worn.
But Katie wanted to go the extra mile. And so they are currently aiming to bring biodegradable elastanes into their entire range. They want to get their knickers onto the bottoms of millions of women. And they want to do it sustainably.
Thanks so much Katie for giving us great pants that when we have enjoyed them, they can be composted down and regenerate the soil for new things to grow.
Thanks also for showing us how we can take part in the circular economy by buying well and bringing a regenerative approach into our lives.

Taking a stand on issues you care about with Art for Change Founder Jeanne Masel
My guest this week is Jeanne Masel Founder & CEO of Art for Change developed to offer fine art to socially conscious art collectors. Each carefully selected artist and artwork are paired with a relevant non-profit initiative & this has generated over $250K for non-profits & enabled the planting of over 3,000 trees to support Global Reforestation efforts to combat climate change.
AFC is a platform for discovery for the best contemporary art. They’ve been known for their high quality prints by top in-demand contemporary artists, and they’ve also started selling unique works and offer art advisory services.
AFC came about because Jeanne Masel's background is in art sales, connoisseurship, and philanthropy. She's on the Board of the Brooklyn Museum and started off consulting with them to create limited-edition contemporary art prints for their 2017 artists’ ball. That experience alone solidified her vision for her company.
In 2018 they started commissioning limited-edition prints by the best contemporary artists paired with urgent non-profit causes. When the pandemic struck in 2020, they pivoted to support artists amidst a world that had shut down. They also found a way to meet the moment for issues like food insecurity that came into high relief during the pandemic. They were able to offer their artists 50% of the proceeds rather than asking for a donation, while also raising funds for really important causes. It was a three-way win: they were able to pay artists, raise money for vital causes, and create a stellar work of art.
Being contentious is what they do at Art for Change. Taking a stand for what they believe in. They help make the world a better place through their Art for Change Initiatives.
Jeanne believes that when you are afraid of something, face your fear. Lean into it and do it anyway. Listen to those that encourage and support you. Don’t take no for an answer.
Thanks so much Jeanne for finding a way to bring art to socially conscious collectors, support artists and benefit social causes and wider climate change issues, to create a thriving cultural ecosystem.
