Welcome to Ignite The Change Podcast.
Where Imperfections are praised, falling over is beautiful and supporting each other is a must.
I'm on a mission to share the stories of young change-makers creating better futures for humanity and our greater ecosystem.
I hope we can together, become fearless of change in our personal and professional lives - as we show up as a team and practice more of what we love.
I’m your host Hannah, founder of Engage Social Society and student.

Cam Greenwood is the Co-Founder (alongside his wife, Elise) and Chief Pioneer of Zorali - a business born from the spirit of adventure, and a vision to see generations of people find harmony with nature, themselves and each other. With a big focus on wellness and the environment, Zorali uses the outdoor gear and apparel they create to inspire people to break free from the busy world and spend more time enjoying the outdoors.
Prior to launching Zorali, Cam was the Founder behind the wildly popular Monsta Surf brand. After starting the business in his parents backyard in 2012, at just 18 years of age, the brand received a tribe-like following with customers from over 40 countries. But after a legal opposition from a multinational corporation, Cam and his wife Elise were inspired to lead their Monsta Surf community on a journey towards something new in 2018.
Together, Cam and Elise dreamed up Zorali, rallying their community to become part of the change through an equity crowdfund raise. This disruptive campaign received widespread coverage as Zorali become the fastest company in Australia to reach their minimum target and just the 5th company to reach their maximum target in a ECF campaign, raising $300,000 to 550 investors.
Since launching, Zorali has quickly gained a strong following within the Australian marketplace with a unique approach to the outdoor landscape - where they see nature not as a proving ground to be attacked, but simply as a playground to be enjoyed and protected. This love for nature is seen throughout the brands messaging, regular meet-ups and sustainable approach to business, where Zorali plants 10 trees for each product they sell, as well as using organic and recycled materials across their ranges.
Cam’s pioneering spirit has attracted an abundance of attention with the young entrepreneur being featured on various platforms and media outlets such as Channel 9 News, Channel 7’s Destination Happiness, The Collective Hub, the cover of Business State Magazine as well as being featured in SmartCompany's 2018 ‘Smart30 Under 30’.
Cam’s ability to challenge his audience to expand their thinking has led him to become one of Australia’s most in demand speakers under the age of 30, speaking across country in many different forums.
Ultimately, Cam’s goal is to inspire people to believe that all things are possible when you actively engage in a life driven more strongly by curiosity than by fear, as he provides key insights into the path of possibility and success.
