Startups Will Save Us

Ben recently caught up with Sarah Wilson in Bristol to talk about her most recent book, This one wild and precious life: The path back to connection in a fractured world (that was going to be called Wake the Fuck up). i.e. to the climate crisis. Lucky for us, the conversation was recorded and we’re thrilled to share this with you now. Sarah cuts straight to the truth - that the climate crisis is the most urgent challenge of our time. We can’t wait for the next generation to fix it. We can’t waste a moment. This the heavy weight that so many of us founders, tackling climate, feel intensely every day. https://www.raaise.co/
