In this podcast I will be speaking to people who have had the courage to take a different path in life or walk to a different beat. As Einstein said - “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.” The people I will be speaking to have chosen to do something different in the hope of creating a better world in one way or another. They might be working alone or running a company that does things differently. I have chosen people and businesses that I believe are doing something unique and that their ideas could help to create a more conscious world. You might not agree with all that these people are doing but it is my hope that by sharing their ideas and actions you might be able to get some ideas of your own, be inspired, or encouraged to charter your own course or to support one on here that you are particularly moved by.
Mayden is one of a very small number of companies to do away with hierarchy and to restructure themselves into a flat structure company. In this first part of a 2 part series on the company I speak to Chris May one of the 4 directors. We cover why they chose to change, how they managed the change, their biggest challenges, what makes them work and so much more.

In this episode I have a very franc conversation with Steve Johnson on his views of how the west has been interfering with effective management of Africa's wildlife and what needs to happen if we want wildlife to survive the next 30 years. We also dive into authentic power and leadership and what that looks like and he shares some moving stories of his life in rural Africa.

He works at the policy level both regionally and globally with organisations such as; European Union, GIZ, IUCN, SADAC, UNDC and US AID in relation to conservation.
