[Episode contains explicit language - but not too much!]

In this episode, KG and Paul kick off the year with an inspiring conversation featuring Dr. Jason Graham-Nye, an entrepreneur tackling global environmental challenges through the circular economy. Jason shares how his team is addressing the massive problem of disposable nappy waste in the South Pacific, where nappies make up 30% of household waste and where both, eco-systems and economies are fragile and at risk of collapse.

Their model eliminates plastic waste, creates compost to regenerate soil, and provides jobs for local women. With projects in Samoa, Tuvalu, and soon Belize, Jason’s work empowers communities while addressing marine pollution and soil degradation.

The discussion dives into systemic barriers like greenwashing, the need for consistent policy support, and the challenges of collaboration in a competitive world. Jason reflects on his own leadership approach, emphasising the importance of empowering communities and building sustainable systems.

As usual, we share a most delicious wine. On this occasion we are loving the 2023 Sigurd White Blend. A tasty, summery wine that is beautifully balanced with bright and soft, apple-like acidity. It has a long and fresh finish. Don't wait, go get yourself some!!

We hope you will be inspired by Jason’s story, his innovative approach to solving wicked problems, and his insights on leadership and sustainability.

Sláinte friends!

We're back for Season 5! How amazing is that??!!

We kick things off with Paul & KG catching up, chatting about the year ahead and then quickly digress into a conversation on endurance. This Cheeky Half episode is definitely 'on brand', as it introduces a half-baked idea, and leaves it hanging. Maybe you can help them finish it?

Have a listen (it's very brief). We'd love to hear what you thought of this conversation.

This is it folks! Well, for this year, anyway.

Paul & KG look forward to what may be in store for 2025, and throw around some ambitious ideas in the process.
