  • Ben Peers, Creative Director, Designer and Videographer, believes that nothing ever really changes for the better without a little bit of shameless, idealistic creativity. He also believes that our fixation on metrics and the bottom line can stifle our ability to challenge the status quo and shame idealism out of us. He recalls the same trajectory in his own life: creativity that flourished in primary school, before that spark was stifled and shamed within the conformist walls of secondary school.

    That's why he created 'Good Eye', a safe space for idealism and a counterweight to the cynicism that stops us believing we can do things differently. As he says, "if we're discouraged from imagining a better future because it's too idealistic, then how on earth are we ever going to even achieve a fraction of that?"

    He shares how, through Good Eye, he is bringing together a community of creatives who want to use their talent to build a better world. He wants to awaken people to a possibility many of us lose sight of: that creativity is for more than selling things, it can help build the world we want to live in.

    More about Ben Peers:

    Ben Peers is a London-based Creative Director, Designer and Videographer. In 2025 he began developing Good Eye, a community for creatives who want to use their creativity for good.

  • What happens when you stop trying to fit in and start trusting your own way of seeing the world? Dr Lucy Wallace, a convenor and peacebuilder in food systems, has spent her career bringing people together in rooms thick with conflict, holding to one quiet belief: everyone deserves a seat at the table.

    In this conversation she takes us from a childhood spent hunting out small pockets of nature in the concrete West Midlands, to the noisy halls of COP, where making space for every voice is rarely tidy but is how trust slowly takes root. She speaks openly about embracing her late-diagnosed ADHD, about peacebuilding between those working in food systems, and about hope. When others try to dim your light, she says, it is usually a sign you have touched on something that matters.

    Her gentle encouragement to the rest of us is to stay with it, and to keep building the empathy that carries people along.

    More about Lucy

    Dr Lucy Wallace is a globally recognised connector, convenor and peacemaker in the food system, with 20 years' experience.

    She is the founder of Liminal Thinking, where she advises organisations on food innovation ecosystems, and Creative Director for tmrw. She has held senior roles at EIT Food, led the secretariat of the Action on Food hub at the UNFCCC COP, and co-founded REGEN HOUSE.

    A biologist by training, with a zoology degree from Aberdeen and a PhD in veterinary science, her feel for complex systems is rooted in the living world.

  • What happens when you refuse to accept that nothing can be done? In this episode, we hear from Samantha Ward OBE, Deputy CEO of Royal Voluntary Service, whose lifelong conviction that the world can be changed for the better has shaped an extraordinary career in service and volunteering.

    From childhood, Sam had a powerful sense of right and wrong and the grit to go with it, always asking not just "why is this happening?" but "what can we do about it?" Where others saw naivety, Sam saw possibility, and she never stopped acting on it.

    That conviction was tested most visibly when the pandemic hit and Royal Voluntary Service stepped forward while others battened down the hatches. The result? The NHS Volunteer Responders programme, built in a matter of weeks, which mobilised 750,000 volunteers and delivered support over 2.6 million times to people who might otherwise have been completely cut adrift.

    Sam also shares the more recent launch of GoVo, RVS's flexible volunteering platform now home to nearly 1,800 charities, designed to meet people where they are and make volunteering work for modern life, whether that's 20 minutes on the way home or a Saturday afternoon trying something completely new. As Sam describes it, it was built on the same quiet certainty that it was simply the right thing to do.

    More about Samantha:

    Samantha Ward OBE, Deputy CEO and Chief of Services and Volunteering at Royal Voluntary Service

    As well as Deputy CEO responsibilities, Sam is also responsible for Royal Voluntary Service's volunteering, safeguarding & service delivery, including health, social care, community services and Armed Forces support.

    Sam is also a qualified Leadership Coach, Mentor & Consultant for Leaders who feel driven to serve and are born to lead. She was awarded an OBE for services to charity in 2022.

  • Before he made it to the boardroom, David Butcher managed the stage at a Jimi Hendrix concert. What he learned backstage on a Baltic island about motivation, leadership and getting the best out of people stayed with him through three CEO roles and a lifetime in business.

    In this episode, David makes the case that the most effective leaders are not the loudest ones. Kindness, compassion and the courage to ask simple, naive questions, he argues, are the tools that cut through complexity, unlock better thinking and drive better outcomes. The boardroom, it turns out, needs a little more of what worked backstage at the Love and Peace Festival.

    More about David Butcher:

    A veteran of more than 50 years in the pensions and investment industry, David has been a CEO three times and served as a non-executive director on the pensions boards of BlackRock, Legal & General, Scottish Widows and The Peoples Pension.

    David has also chaired two companies in the wellbeing and mindfulness space and served as a board member for two research organisations in the pensions and asset management sector.

    A mind management practitioner for 50 years, David is now bringing the benefits of mind management to individuals and companies. Through Positively Aware Ltd, David provides coaching and mentoring services to individuals and companies to improve mental health and wellbeing, resilience and productivity.

  • What does it look like to build a business where people truly matter?

    Edwin Booth CBE, Executive Chairman at E.H.Booth & Co ltd, shares his journey from arriving as an 18 year old into his family's business, shaped immediately by the sheer kindness of the people around him, to becoming a leader who puts people at the heart of everything.

    Edwin reflects on how culture is built from the inside out. By listening to people’s experiences, especially those who have faced barriers such as imprisonment, he has helped create opportunities rooted in dignity, skill-building, and trust.

    This is a conversation about purpose in action. About leadership that listens. And about the belief that when people are supported and trusted, they can thrive.

    Or as Edwin puts it, “there is no such thing as someone who cannot do something, if they are encouraged, shown how, and trusted to do it well.”

    A warm, wise and quietly radical conversation about what business can be when it genuinely puts people first.

    More about Edwin:

    Edwin Booth CBE DL is Chairman of E H Booth & Co Ltd, the proprietors of Booths Food Stores in the North of England. Representing the fifth generation of his family to lead the business since 1847, Edwin has spent his career building an organisation rooted in excellent service, sustainability, and locally sourced food and drink.

    Beyond the business, Edwin has dedicated much of his life to community and public service. He chaired the Lancashire LEP for over seven years, chaired the Employment Advisory Board at HMP Lancaster Farms, and is a Trustee of the Eden Project. He was appointed CBE in 2019 for services to business and charity, and served as High Sheriff of Lancashire in 2021.

  • Gemma Lannon has created a wonderful gathering space in London for people channelling their work towards sustainability and climate solutions - it's called Treo House.

    In this episode, Gemma shares how the sudden loss of her father at 15 reshaped her understanding of the world, teaching her to hold two things at once: the uncertainty of outcomes, and the courage to act anyway. She reflects on why "naive" might not be the negative label we think it is, how optimism and joy are not just nice-to-haves but essential fuel for this work, and why acting from instinct and conviction, even without all the answers, might be exactly what our collective challenges demand right now.

    More about Gemma:

    Gemma Lannon is the founding director of Treo House, a collective for people working in sustainability in London. The organisation facilitates our ability to learn from and look after each other, through in-person events hosted at its home in Vauxhall. Gemma previously worked in the sustainability team at Unilever and on grassroot sustainability projects in Cornwall, Portugal and New Zealand.

  • Michael Macy may describe himself as having a minor role, but a front row seat in establishing peace across some of the world's most complex conflict zones - but the lessons he carries from those experiences are anything but minor.

    At the heart of this conversation is a deceptively simple but profound insight: "Too often people think you have to resolve all the conflicts before you can have peace. No, peace, in my experience, peace creates the space to resolve the conflict."

    Michael brings this to life through his experience of the Good Friday Agreement in Belfast, offering a rare and intimate perspective on how peace, when enacted, can do what negotiation alone cannot.

    He also shares what he's doing about it today. Through Enacting Peace, an international effort he co-founded, Michael invites people everywhere to mark each equinox and solstice with a conscious act of peace, however small. The invitation is simple but radical: to recognise your own capacity to contribute, to celebrate it, and to act on it.

    Michael mentions his friend Joe, he is referring to Joe Miller. You can find out more about Joe here.

    A little more about Michael:

    Michael Macy is currently working to encourage peace.

    He is on the board of the Abrahamic Reunion, working for peace in Israel and Palestine and a founder of Enacting Peace, an international effort to invite people to act for peace. It has no dogma, no dues and no politics, just a request and a hope that you will do something for peace.

    He initially worked as a therapist, became a trial lawyer and hosted a radio talk show. He then spent nearly 30 years as a U.S. diplomat developing mutual understanding between the U.S. the UK, Mali, Malta, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, India, Haiti and Tunisia among others. In order to build those bridges, he worked with dancers, writers, artists, academics, journalists, religious community leaders and comedians.

  • Felicity Aston MBE is a climate scientist, polar explorer, expedition leader and record-breaker. She was the first woman to ski across Antarctica alone. Most recently, she led the B.I.G. (Before It’s Gone) Arctic Research Expedition, gathering vital material for Arctic sea ice research.

    In this episode, Felicity shares the importance of using what you’re good at to address the issues facing our world. For her, that means using her expertise in leading expeditions to tackle inequality for women, including bringing together women from across the Commonwealth to ski to the South Pole.

    She also speaks to something deeper: the responsibility of those in senior positions to champion those coming through. Felicity reflects on how painful it can be to be dismissed as naive, and the difference it makes when experience and wisdom are used to lift others instead.

  • In this episode, we’re joined by Gaynor Morrison, a midwife, lecturer and photographer, and the creator of You Were Held.

    Drawing on her role as a midwife safeguarding lead, Gaynor shares how she supports some of the most complex moments in care, when babies are removed from their mothers following court decisions. Through You Were Held, she offers a simple but profound gift: professional photographs taken at birth, created with care and dignity, to honour the bond, love and connection between mother and baby, even in separation.

    A powerful reflection on compassion in practice.

    More information about Gaynor:

    Gaynor has worked in the NHS and in education over the past 30 years with her speciality and focus on Safeguarding vulnerable families. After leaving the front line of the NHS nearly 3 years ago, she was able to start the 'You were held' compassion project with her safeguarding manager Sharon Bunford, who arranges the governance, data protection and formalities. As a volunteer she is able to go back to the Trust and offer photography to mothers and birthing people who are being separated from their babies due to complex safeguarding situations, with a hope of capturing those first moments when the baby is held by their birth mother so that they will both have forever memories. This project recognises the mother's role prior to separation and will be a small gesture towards acknowledging their disenfranchised grief.

  • Rich Good has spent over 40 years exploring the human condition, drawing on both Eastern and Western spiritual traditions.

    At the heart of his episode is a black and white photograph of Rich as a young boy, beaming outside a wigwam in his grandmother’s garden in Aberdeen. A child full of love and ready for adventure.

    He takes us through the journey of that boy’s life, the challenges he faced, the people who supported and shaped him, and how it became an apprenticeship in the human condition. Shared with honesty and care, in the hope that whoever needs to hear it might feel less alone, and see the possibility held within life’s challenges.

    Rich also reflects on a wide-ranging career rooted in a profound love of nature, and inspired by Earth Wisdom Teachings. From time with First Nations teachers to his work at the Eden Project, designing and delivering leadership programmes for HotHouse.

    At the heart of it all is a belief that many of us are seeking a different way of being with each other, one rooted in humility, kindness and love, now central to his work with the charity Humility, Kindness and Love (HKL)

    Having worked holistically with individuals and organisations for nearly 40 years and as co-founder of the Imaginal Collective and One Good Life , Rich invites people to create a life where there is PEACE in the Mind, HOPE in the Heart and JOY in the Soul. He is also a board member of the international charity, HKL which fosters humility, kindness and love across the globe to create a more beautiful world.

  • Daryl Davis is an American musician, lecturer, activist and author whose life’s work has been shaped by a simple question: why would you hate me when you don’t even know me?

    He has spent decades studying, seeking out and speaking with members of hate groups, including the Ku Klux Klan. Through Daryl’s calm, human conversations, many have chosen to leave these organisations and encourage others to do the same.

    Daryl believes we learn to hate, and that what is learned can be unlearned. At the heart of this is our ability to listen and to speak with each other.

    He shares five things he believes we all crave in life, and that when we recognise these needs in each other, it becomes easier to connect and value one another: to be loved, respected and heard, to be treated truthfully and fairly, and to want for our families what others want for theirs.

    Daryl shares more of his experiences and insights in his book The Klan Whisperer.

  • Jennifer Nadel shares what it means to trust what you know is right, even when others dismiss it as naive.

    From protesting as a young girl in the countryside to drafting a law to make it an offence for politicians to deliberately deceive the public, she reflects on how taking action, even when it does not succeed, moves us out of despair and into something more hopeful and generative.

    Years on, that once dismissed idea is now being taken forward in Wales and considered in Westminster. A conversation about truth, persistence and the quiet courage it takes to keep going.

    Jennifer Nadel is co-director of Compassion in Politics, a UK cross-party think tank bringing politicians together across divides. She is also Director of Compassionate Politics at Stanford University’s Centre for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education.

  • Rachel (Rai) Lewis is the director and co-founder of Plant One, a Cornish woodland creation CIC restoring habitats and connecting communities with nature across the South West.

    Rai is also autistic, and in this conversation she speaks candidly about what it’s like to move through a world that often perceives her as naïve. She shares some of the traits many autistic people experience - struggling to detect lies quickly, finding it difficult to lie convincingly, and navigating social contexts that neurotypical people often take for granted.

    For Rai, this has often meant being judged as lacking “street smarts” - including when she decided to launch Plant One with her business partner without startup funding. But what others might see as naïve, she understands as something else entirely: honesty, passion, and a deep commitment to what matters.

    That passion is woodland creation. Today, Rai and the Plant One community are planting trees across Cornwall, restoring habitats and bringing wildlife back to the landscape.

    This episode is a conversation about honesty, perception, and the power of caring deeply enough to act.

    Disclaimer: the views and opinions expressed in this podcast are the experiences and opinions of one autistic individual and do not necessarily reflect the wide array of difficulties and experiences of all autistic individuals.

  • Ben Solanky, Co-Founder and Director of Empathy Action, speaks up for not allowing your enthusiasm to be dampened.

    From a young age, Ben was encouraged to bring his enthusiasm and energy to any task he put his hand to. A sliding door event brought him into the world of development, where he learned that championing a cause is not optional, it is a powerful skill, especially when funding and resources are scarce.

    Empathy Action works through immersive experiences that help people try to understand complex issues from the perspective of “What if it were me?”

    They are now taking on British poverty through their new immersive experience, Broke. It invites participants to stop. To take a moment to feel. To listen. To reflect. To interrupt our stride as we walk past these issues every day.

  • Sarah Howard, Managing Director of the Global Philanthropy Forum, speaks up against allowing others to judge our ideals as naïve.

    Growing up in the Bay Area, at the heart of Silicon Valley, shaped Sarah’s cultural context; where ideas that might be labelled naïve elsewhere are re-framed as bold, innovative, and novel. She deeply resonates with this energy and brings a willingness to push at the edges of what is considered possible into every space she works in.

    Sarah describes this bold action through making her film The Way Back to Yarasquin, hitchhiking across the borders of Honduras and El Salvador after meeting one woman, Myra, who captured her imagination. Sarah had a strong feeling that Myra could, and would, change the trajectory of an entire community, and set out to learn how Myra would create the conditions needed for them to thrive.

    Sarah also reflects on curiosity as a powerful tool and asset, a key that opens up the world. She encourages us to nurture it, invest in it, and allow ourselves to have fun with imagination as a force for change.

    A little more about Sarah...

    Sarah has developed and spearheaded the Global Philanthropy Forum's recent 2.0 strategic vision, the first post-founder strategic transition. A social innovator, entrepreneur, and storyteller, Sarah’s passion for understanding systems has led her across the globe to witness and document complex human and systems stories. She uses narrative development, strategic thinking, and community-building tools to map new structures for society and stories for how to get there. Sarah is particularly passionate about applying her skills to address pressing global issues such as climate change, digital futures, and global governance. Along the way, she has built several initiatives and organizations from these experiences. Her latest documentary Climate Blueprint is currently on a global tour, and her social cohesion project, Listening Lab, is growing alongside her podcast, Track Two, which explores the question ‘What is a good society?’. Sarah grew up in Berkeley and now lives on Ohlone land in Oakland, CA.

  • This week we’re joined by Minnie Moll, CEO of the Design Council, who shares stories that shaped her belief in pushing beyond what many think is possible.

    From growing up on a boat in the English countryside, Minnie’s deep love of nature and animals fuelled a childhood full of adventure and curiosity, always bringing other children along for the ride.

    She speaks with real pride about creating the Design Council’s Design for Planet mission, launched at COP26 in Glasgow. Built on faith that it was the right thing to do, even without all the answers in place. What some might have seen as naïve, Minnie sees as building in flight, with early implementers shaping something bigger. A powerful example of cathedral thinking in action.

    We also talk about staying the course, even as climate commitments slip around the world. For Minnie, this isn’t just strategy. It’s a moral imperative and a huge opportunity for growth.

    As both CEO and coach, Minnie reframes naivety as limitless belief in what’s possible. A refusal to be constrained by barriers. A trust that transformation and a better world can be created.

    Minnie Moll, Chief Executive, Design Council

    Minnie spearheads the Design for Planet mission to help address the climate crisis.

    She was previously Chief Executive of Jarrold Retail in Norwich, Joint Chief Executive of the East of England Co-op and held senior leadership roles at Notcutts Garden Centres,?What If!, and HHCL.

    She was Vistage Business Leader of the Year in 2020 and an Ambassador for Responsible Business in the East of England in 2016. She is currently an Ambassador for the charity Fresh Start and was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Arts from the University of Westminster in 2024 for her contributions to design and innovation.

  • Seasoned creative, entrepreneur, and advocate for a regenerative future, Gareth Jenkins joins Let’s Reboot the Future to share how life experiences, from encounters with racism to time spent at Plum Village, gently chipped away at his childhood naivety and led him back to something deeper: a belief that the future doesn’t have to be a continuation of the way things are today, and that we can remake it with kindness, fairness, and love at its centre.

    Gareth reflects on how waking up to the harshness of the world can create both emptiness and a longing to learn new ways of living and seeing, ways that move beyond fear, protection, and the masks we build, and instead reconnect us to what it means to be human.

    He shares why he believes emotional intelligence, time in nature, and immersive experiences offer powerful guidance for shaping a better future, not through data and models alone, but through emotions, connection, and the stories that remind us what truly matters.

    This is a hopeful story about responsibility, creativity, and the courage to believe that a kinder world is possible.

    Gareth Jenkins is currently Global Head of Storytelling at EY, working with the firm’s senior leadership to craft human-centric narratives across sustainability, technology and geopolitics. His work aims to inspire EY’s people and clients that a better tomorrow is possible, and that those of us in business have a role and responsibility to make it a reality.

    Here he speaks to us in his personal capacity as a storyteller and creative.

  • American author John Perkins joins Let’s Reboot the Future to reflect on what it really means to follow your heart, and the courage it takes to keep listening to that inner voice even when it disrupts expectations, security and status.

    John shares how dropping out of college to become a journalist in Boston set him on an unexpected path that allowed him to build skills in both writing and business. Over time, these came together in his bold attempt to tackle the problem of acid rain caused by waste coal, transforming it into a positive energy source.

    He reflects on the challenges of turning vision into reality, from financial strain to disappointing others, and the deep uncertainty that often accompanies meaningful change. Yet this work ultimately contributed to the success of an energy plant and to legislation that prevented new coal plants from being built that would produce acid rain.

    For John, following the heart is rarely easy, but it is always necessary. He reminds us that lasting change begins by listening closely to ourselves, trusting that inner guidance, and being willing to walk a more difficult but more truthful path.

  • Writer, theatre maker and producer specialising in immersive and site specific performance, Marie Klimis joins Let’s Reboot the Future to share her stories and reflect on how she has learned, and helped others, to think about the world in a different way.

    Marie reflects on learning early in life that rules need to be questioned, and that being kind, being a good person, and not betraying anyone’s trust sit powerfully at the heart of how we should live, even when this runs against what we are told.

    Moving from a background in business into socially engaged, political immersive theatre and site specific performance, Marie describes creating environments outside of traditional theatre spaces. Spaces centred on empathy, and on building together a more inclusive and more multicultural view of the world.

    She shares why using play and fiction to get people to think about important things is so powerful, and reflects on her first family show, Checkpoint Universe, created as a way to spark better narratives around migration. This episode is rooted in imagination, empathy, and a belief that small actions can be just as life changing as large ones.

    Marie is the Artistic Director of Koro, a charity dedicated to immersive theatre that celebrates urgent contemporary stories and marginalised voices, also a founding member and director of 27 degrees, a migrant-led collective creating socially engaged immersive theatre.
