You might have seen that Dame Ellen MacArthur, our patron and founder, recently met up with a young woman called Maxine, who was part of the first ever Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust sailing adventure 20 years ago in 2003. She was just 10 at the time, and now she's reunited with Ellen ahead of her 31st birthday.This episode, in celebration of the Trust's 20th anniversary, is their conversation.It's wonderful to hear Maxine talk about the impact of a sailing adventure 20 years ago and how it's shaped her life ever since. Ellen also shares how and why the Trust was set up in 2003, and where the inspiration for the charity came from.The things we can do to support young people living through and beyond cancer now, today, can change the years and decades ahead of them. As Ellen says in this conversation with Maxine, this is what it's all about.
Matt chats with Mark Turner, a former Lieutenant and Seaman Officer in the Royal Navy who partnered with Dame Ellen Macarthur to mastermind her record exploits at sea, before taking their successful partnership onto land and building a portfolio of purpose-driven international sporting competitions and charity events. Mark's experiences in both sport and business have demonstrated how engaging with higher purpose, either consciously or subconsciously, can create optimal outcomes for all stakeholders. On an individual level, he also offers a practical guide for athletes wanting to use their platform to inspire others – creating emotional currency through effective and authentic storytelling.

20 YEARS IN PERSPECTIVE:I never intended to start a space rocket company.I started to literally Google “How do you build a moon rocket”Consulting has never been my kind of thing, you don't have enough responsibility I think in consulting for execution, I quite like the responsibility of execution.Rule 3 was “Don't fuck it up”.CEO role in that kind of company is 24 / 7 / 365.Stubbornness and stamina are really massively important in any entrepreneurial task.“You're really stubborn. You don't give up. You don't quit, you just keep pushing, keep pushing, until eventually something breaks in your favor and you get there.”The smallest mistake can result in mission failure.I think I kind of knew this intuitively, but someone should tell you explicitly you can do anything.I kind of see success as stepping stones in a way, you need to achieve this, to achieve that, to achieve the ultimate goal.ON TOPIC: OF SPACE, OBRITS, ROCKETS AND POTATO LAUNCHERSI do expect people to land on Mars while I'm still alive, assuming I survive another decade or so.Your mobile phone has something like a million times more computing power than, the Apollo that took people to the Moon.Q: “Could you do something like this?” A: “Yes, but have you got any money?”Orbex today, even with my biased rose-tinted sunglasses on, it is quite objectively viewed as the leading player in a new private space launch industry in Europe right now.Most of the applications of space technology are geared towards driving a better world on the surface of Planet Earth.And what that drives then is a lower economic cost to get things into space. And that's always been the real barrier to getting lots of things into space.To lift a kilo through the gravity well of Earth into orbit is very, very expensive. Once you're in orbit, it's relatively easy to get to other places, but getting into orbit is the expensive, difficult part of space access.I see the gap, the physical gap between Earth and Mars as being the equivalent of the Atlantic ocean, going back a few centuries.I think we're at the dawn of a really new chapter in human history, where we're not just talking about oceans and airplanes, we're talking about interplanetary things in a genuinely realistic way.Space is, I've learned, all about margins - safety margins, margins for performance, margins for mistakes and recovery of mistakes.Getting to orbit is a much, much harder problem than suborbital flight. The difficult part is achieving that velocity and it's a lot, it's tens of thousands of kilometres per hour to get to orbit.Imagine if every time you flew to New York from London you have to throw away the airplaneReusability, that's something we focus on at Orbex as well, reusability and environmental sustainability.The annual volume of Rocket Launches is the global equivalent of the entire airline traffic globally, it's a massive problem, because of that black soot that gets deposited by nonclean combustion of fossil fuels.References, mentions:UK Space Agency, European Space Agency, Orbex, Ariane 5, “Zen and the art of the motor motorcycle maintenance” by Robert M.

Featuring:- Founder and patron Dame Ellen MacArthur- Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust CEO Frank Fletcher- Bhav, Isla and Emily, who recently became volunteers for the Trust having previously been supported by us- Rachel Kirby-Rider and Kate Collins, CEOs of Young Lives vs Cancer and Teenage Cancer Trust respectively- Chair of our Board of Trustees and paediatric oncologist at Birmingham Children's Hospital Dr Dave Hobin- Founder and Programme Leader at New Ways Letetia Gibson
Ilham sits down with Dame Ellen MacArthur - one of the foremost leaders in the effort to enable the circular economy - to discuss her amazing life on the sea, what led her to turn her efforts to the circular economy, how we can change mindsets in corporations, the power of partnerships, and of course - how the circular economy and business growth go hand in hand.At the age of 24, Ellen MacArthur became the youngest person to sail around the world solo, coming in second in the Vendée Globe race. And in 2005, she broke the world record for the fastest solo sailing around the world. For her incredible achievement, she was named a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. After breaking the world record, she retired from professional sailing to begin an even bigger race: she is now leading the charge to accelerate the transition to a circular economy through the Ellen MacArthur Foundation.

The traditional fashion value chain is linear: fibres are grown, harvested, spun into fabric and stitched into garments, which are then distributed to retailers, sold, worn and discarded. “The way we make and use things accounts for 45 percent of greenhouse gases and 90 percent of biodiversity loss,” said Dame Ellen MacArthur at BoF VOICES 2021. In this conversation with BoF's Sarah Kent, MacArthur lays out a vision for an alternate “circular” economy where the lifecycle of garments is extended through better design, including the use of more resilient, recyclable materials, and using systems throughout the manufacturing and sales process to facilitate items' repair, reuse, and eventual transformation into something new. But this kind of systemic change will require a collective and coordinated push from suppliers, designers, brands and retailers across fashion's value chain. “We need to work together to make this happen. You need the entire value chain in the room,” said MacArthur, adding that though such comprehensive change is a challenge, it's also an opportunity. Circular business models, including resale and rental, are on track to become a $700 billion market representing 23 percent of the fashion industry by 2030. “Business as usual doesn't work,” said MacArthur. “It's not the solution.”

This week, The Circular Economy! Currently our economy operates in a linear way. Take, Make, Dispose. It's based on the industrial revolution, and we know this way of doing things has limits. Some of those limits we are reaching even today. But there's a different economy we could create. The Circular Economy. This week we explore the ‘Circular Economy' with #1 Circular Economy advocate, Dame Ellen MacArthur. This brand new economy is all about designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. It incentivizes manufacturers to create and maintain better products, stops the Global North from polluting the Global South, and has the potential to regenerate wildlife and ecosystems that are on the brink of collapsing. And with Christiana and Tom out this week, we invite special guest co-host, Catherine Howarth, CEO of Share Action, to discuss what it will take to encourage regenerative economic practices? Are we at a tipping point right now? Is a green, equitable, regenerative global society finally close to our grasp? And later on in the episode, join us for a soulful acoustic performance of “What Can I Do?” by Rachel Sermanni.

Some of our listeners may have heard of Dame Ellen MacArthur, the famed sailor who set the world record for the fastest solo circumnavigation around the globe.But what people may not know is that she also started the Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF), which has become one of the world’s most influential environmental organizations – working to inspire a generation to re-think, re-design and build a circular economy. In this episode, Matt Prindiville talks to Sarah Wingstread, Program Manager for Innovation at EMF’s New Plastics Economy Initiative about applying root-cause – upstream! – solutions to address our plastic waste crisis through elimination, reuse, and material circulation. She also walks through highlights from their latest report which she co-authored, Upstream Innovation: A Guide to Packaging Solutions.

DON'T MISS OUR SHOWNOTES - the are packed with links & extra info! To say that Ellen MacArthur is a phenomenal woman is an understatement. In 2005, aged 28, she became the fastest person to sail solo, non-stop around the world. It took her 71 days, 14 hours and 18 minutes. You’re going to hear what that was like, how she stayed focused and what she learned from it. The importance of goal setting really comes through in this interview. Ellen is obviously an incredibly determined person but there’s a take-away for us all here: it’s about having a plan - by knowing which direction you want to go in, that’s how you make stuff happen. What’s all this got to do with fashion? This is the story of how a world-record-breaking British sailor became an international advocate for the circular economy. How she created a platform, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, to encourage the global economy to transition to a system that designs out waste & pollution, keeps materials in use and regenerates natural systems. It's also the story of what that might look like, and how we can action it. Ellen’s lightbulb moment happened at sea. In parts of the Southern Ocean she was 3000 kilometres from land. If she ran out of teabags, there was no nipping to the shop to buy more. She wrote in her logs: "What I have on this boat is all I have.’” That’s how it is with the Earth’s finite resources too. Last year, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation launched its Make Fashion Circularinitiative at the Copenhagen Fashion Summit with Stella McCartney and a bunch of other big brands on board. The aim is to tackling fashion’s polluting and wasteful ways and create a new system. Chat with Clare on Instagram and Twitter @mrspress THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. Love the podcast?

Is personal ownership on its way out? Today we own more stuff than ever before, but will the future be one where we hire everything we need? Our goods could be supplied to us by big companies as a service - and taken away again or replaced almost before we know they need to be fixed. That's just one part of the idea of the circular economy - a new way for businesses to think about how they make use of the world's finite resources. To discuss the concept, presenter Manuela Saragosa is joined by Dame Ellen MacArthur, a former round-the-world sailor who now heads her own foundation promoting the circular economy. Manuela also hears from a leading Indian environmentalist, Dr Ashok Khosla, and from Kirstie McIntyre, who is the director of global sustainability operations at the technology giant HP. Plus, regular contributor and comedian Colm O' Regan celebrates The Fixers - those who mend products rather than throw them away. (Picture: Dame Ellen MacArthur.

On the Why Factor this week, Angie Hobbs asks why do we want or need heroes? What constitutes a heroic act? Is it something you set out to do, or something you don't choose, but live up to when it's thrust upon you? And why do societies celebrate heroism? Professor Hobbs talks to people who've been hailed as heroes: Colonel Tim Collins who gave a much praised eve-of-battle speech to his troops as they were about to enter Iraq in 2003, Justin Oliphant who tackles gang violence in South Africa and Dame Ellen MacArthur who broke the record for solo round the world sailing. Angie also hears from experts on heroism: psychologist professor Alice Eagly of Northwestern University, historian Sir Max Hastings and MP and explorer Rory Stewart.

What do you learn when you sail around the world on your own? When solo sailor Ellen MacArthur circled the globe – carrying everything she needed with her – she came back with new insight into the way the world works, as a place of interlocking cycles and finite resources, where the decisions we make today affect what's left for tomorrow. She proposes a bold new way to see the world's economic systems: not as linear, but as circular, where everything comes around.
¿Qué descubre uno cuándo navega alrededor del mundo en solitario? Cuándo la navegadora solitaria Ellen MacArthur circunnavegó el globo, llevando todo lo que necesitaba consigo, volvió con nuevas perspectivas de la manera en que funciona el mundo, un lugar de ciclos imbricados y recursos finitos, donde las decisiones que tomamos hoy afectan a lo que dejamos para mañana. Ella propone una nueva manera osada de observar los sistemas económicos mundiales: no como lineales, sino como circulares, donde todo se recupera.
O que você aprende quando navega sozinho ao redor do mundo? Quando a navegadora solitária Ellen MacArthur deu a volta ao globo, carregando tudo de que precisava com ela, ela voltou com novas perspectivas sobre como o mundo funciona, como um lugar de ciclos interligados e recursos finitos, onde as decisões que tomamos hoje afetam o que resta para amanhã. Ela propõe um novo jeito ousado de observar os sistemas econômicos mundiais: não como lineares, mas circulares, onde tudo pode ser reaproveitado.
Was lernt man, wenn man allein die Welt umsegelt? Bei ihrer Fahrt allein um den Erdball trug Ellen MacArthur alles bei sich, was sie benötigte. Sie brachte davon eine neue Erkenntnis zurück, einen Einblick in die Funktionsweise der Welt. Da sind in sich greifende Kreisläufen und begrenzte Ressourcen, bei denen wir durch unsere heutigen Entscheidungen bestimmen, was uns für morgen bleibt. Sie schlägt mutig vor, die Weltwirtschaft anders zu sehen: Nicht linear, sondern als Kreislauf, in dem alles wiederkehrt.
Qu'apprend-on lorsque l'on navigue autour du monde tout seul ? Lorsqu'Ellen MacArthur, navigatrice solitaire, a parcouru le globe — transportant tout ce dont elle avait besoin avec elle — elle est revenue avec un nouveau regard sur le fonctionnement du monde, qui serait un endroit de cycles imbriqués et de ressources limitées, où les décisions que l'on prend aujourd'hui affectent ce qui restera demain. Elle propose une façon nouvelle et audacieuse de percevoir les systèmes économiques mondiaux : non en tant que systèmes linéaires, mais circulaires, où tout est lié.
A wonderfully inspiring, fascinating and moving talk about High Sea Racing and the Ellen MacArthur Trust
Kirsty Young's castaway is the solo yachtswoman Dame Ellen MacArthur. She was 28 when she became the fastest person to sail solo around the world, and has been called the 'first true heroine of the 21st century'. She still sails with friends and with the charity she set up for children with cancer and leukaemia, but her ambition now is to try to find a way of living the same sustainable existence on land that she lives at sea. When your life depends on it, she says, you realise how scarce food and fuel really are.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Boys of Summer by Don Henley Book: SAS Survival Handbook by John 'Lofty' Wiseman Luxury: A fluffy purple worm (which has been taken everywhere).
