From Corporate Executive to Climate Activist with Ben Tolhurst

In this inspiring conversation, Chris Caldwell talks with Ben Tolhurst a former corporate executive who left his high-paying job to become a full-time sustainability activist. Ben shares his personal journey, the challenges he faced, and the lessons he learned along the way. They discuss the importance of corporate activism, the need for businesses to take a stand on social and environmental issues, and the role of individuals in driving change.

 

"Those people were business people. They were CEOs. They were owners. They were founders, they were employees. And they were holding placards and waving banners, stood outside demanding no new fossil fuels. So this concept that business and activism don't fit together isn't quite right."

 

"You know, this is this is a war effort that we need a marshall plan that we need, and we have to put aside political differences, ideological differences, business versus academics versus anyone else."

 

Ben is very clear . . .

 

This video is a must-watch for anyone looking to make a difference in the world and create a more sustainable future
