  • Summary

  • Our new podcast, Maven Made, is on a mission to drive meaningful change by showcasing how sustainable practices can redefine "business as usual." We believe that to build a better future, we need innovative, responsible businesses. By learning from the trailblazers at the forefront of key global issues, we aim to empower leaders and decision-makers to adopt sustainable strategies that lead to lasting impact.

    One of the biggest barriers to progress for leaders and businesses is the lack of actionable information and practical implementation strategies. At Maven Made, we bridge this gap by making innovative practices and expert insights accessible to all. Our platform not only challenges existing paradigms, but also transforms these ideas into reality, fostering thought-provoking discussions and showcasing real-world examples of leaders redefining “business as usual.” We bring the sustainability playbook of the foremost thinkers directly to your ears.


    Now is the time for action. Now is the time for impact.

  • Grant Fowlds on Rhinos, Rewilding Africa, and the Front Lines of the Poaching Wars
    Aug 11 2022

    Over the past four decades, Grant has dedicated his life to the conservation of Africa’s wildlife and fighting on behalf of endangered species. His work is legendary in the conservation world. He is an international advocate for wildlife preservation and especially against poaching and the illegal animal trade. His two books, Saving the Last Rhinos and Rewilding Africa, have brought the harsh realities of the front lines in the anti-poaching wars to our doorsteps across the world. As he will elaborate on in the episode, this is a human created, human solved issue. And my word, hopefully Grant will inspire each of us to be a part of the solution.
