Our member Samantha Nelson Cooper has made another great podcast appearance, this time with Rob Hopkins, author of ‘From What Is to What If’.
They discuss the concept that to build a new world, we have to imagine it first. After Samantha worked for many years as an oil trader and as an executive for BP, she eventually she stepped back in 2015 and now works towards building a better future.
Samantha is one of our Life After Oil advisors, she is the Director at Business Declares and is an ex Chair of the Development Board at The Young Women’s Trust. She learnt about Biodiversity from Great Dixter Charitable Trust and is a Fellow at CUSP (Centre for Understanding Sustainable Prosperity).
This episode poses the question to her – just what does it take for someone so high up in the oil and gas world to step aside?
She says “I was no longer proud of what I did”.
It’s a thought-provoking idea that someone might make a greater impact by participating in a local community food growing project than by being the CEO of a corporation. We encourage you to listen to her episode and take a pause for thought on the impact that you could have on the future of the planet.
