Olympic Gold Medalist and cancer survivor Scott Hamilton talks about the benefits of competition and the power of persistence. And an interview with Explorer Robert Swan.
This short comes from a conversation that co-hosts Jean Gomes and Scott Allender had with Robert Swan back in June 2021 (S2 Ep21).LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION:2041: The Mission to Save Antarctica with Robert SwanRobert Swan is a polar environmentalist, author and founder of 2041, a company that is dedicated to the preservation of Antarctica. The year 2041 is hugely important as it marks the end of a 50 year treaty that was signed by almost every nation designating Antarctica as ‘a natural reserve land for science and peace' as well as placing a ban on mining and mineral exploration for that period. Each year, Robert takes groups of climate scientists, business leaders and students to see first hand the effects of climate change on the region. Sit back and listen as Robert shares what he has learnt about leadership, and his mission to increase awareness and create a community of leaders willing to take action.https://2041foundation.org/Social:Instagram @evolvingleaderLinkedIn The Evolving Leader PodcastTwitter @Evolving_LeaderYouTube @evolvingleader The Evolving Leader is researched, written and presented by Jean Gomes and Scott Allender with production by Phil Kerby.

Imagine experiencing climate change effects first-hand right under the hole in the ozone layer. That's something that most people would not be able to fathom, but celebrated British polar explorer Robert Swan, the first person to have walked to both the North and South Poles unassisted, experienced just that. On his very first expedition to the South Pole in the 1980s, the prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light during parts of the trip which were directly under that ozone layer hole - permanently altered his eye colour from dark blue to light blue. Some years on, his team nearly drowned at the North Pole due to the premature melting of glaciers in the Arctic. Robert later founded the 2041 Foundation, an initiative dedicated to the preservation of Antarctica. Fast forward decades later, Robert's son, Barney Swan is following in his father's footsteps. In 2017, Barney became the first person to walk the South Pole powered only by renewable energy. Today, Barney himself is on a mission to combat climate change through his non-profit, ClimateForce, with a seven-year mission to reduce 360 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions before 2025. On this episode of Climate Connections, Barney Swan, CEO of ClimateForce shares his personal insights walking on this green journey with his father. Robert Swan was a speaker at Ecosperity Week 2024, aimed at being a metaphoric springboard to accelerate climate and nature-positive action, seeking to deepen the collective ownership and commitment needed across all stakeholders, with a focus on radical yet regenerative solutions, to restore the one planet we call home.

In my last podcast episode about sustainability, I briefly covered the idea of gardening/ owning plants. I think there are many well rounded, eco-friendly aspects of plants and gardening. Whether or not you decide to grow some of your own food, or just have a pretty house plant. I think it is environmentally friendly, good for our mental health, and a great way to liven up our living space! Even though I have a rough past with plants, only grew 1 carrot, and severely water deprived my Covid plant..Im giving it a try! This is your sign to get a plant! Like I said in my last episode, I want to try gardening. These past few days I've bought some plants, potted them, and started this new plant owning era. I think It's all about doing what you can and trying new things. My goal is to one day grow some of my own food so that its less trips to the store and less plastic packaging. I hope you enjoy this episode!WEEKLY QUOTE: “The greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it.”– Robert Swan, AuthorSOCIALS: ( lets connect

Robert Swan and company successfully completed the Undaunted: South Pole 2023 expedition on January 10, achieving Robert's long-time goal of walking across the Antarctic landmass. Each evening on the 16-day journey, Robert or his son, Barney, would send a report by satellite phone. This episode compiles those brief audio reports to give listeners a look at life on the march on the Antarctic Plateau.
John Merris is the CEO of Solo Brands, a public company that's making huge inroads in the outdoor space. With strong, in-the-trenches experience in sales and growth (he started as a door to door salesman!) Merris joined the company as its 7th employee and has since helped them acquire 3 other brands that now fall under the Solo Brands umbrella: Solo stove, Oru kayak, Chubbies apparel, and ISLE paddleboards. When he was approached by the founders of Solo stove, a smokeless fire pit company that was actually based in hometown which he hadn't heard of previously, he was very intrigued and, nine days later, ended up joining as the 7th employee! Through his growth mindset and track record of building teams, John was soon asked to become the CEO, successfully acquired the other brands, and helped take the company public. Going public, however, also brings some unexpected emotions and tricky waters you have to navigate as a leader. He quickly realized that by taking care of customers and maintaining a long-term view (versus only worrying about stock price and quarterly earnings) the company would be successful. He states, "I believe that building a great brand centers around culture. What's your culture? Well, at Solo Brands, our culture is the customer. It's taking exceptional care of our customers. I don't believe, per se, in us going out as a company and building our brand. What I believe in is taking great care of our customers and letting our customers go and build our brand for us. In this episode, John and Pete discuss: 1. How Merris approaches building a successful company through organic and inorganic growth. 2. What techniques he uses to create a culture of exceptional customer care. 3. How he works with and leverages influencers, social commerce, and affiliates to build Solo brands out as an umbrella.

In pursuing his now-completed walk across the Antarctic landmass, Robert Swan has advocated for the preservation of Antarctica and promoted sustainability. In this episode, we'll explore a business-oriented viewpoint about the journey to sustainability, including the dual importance of actions to mitigate climate change and innovations that can enable sustainable economic progress. How about batteries you can compost at the end of their useful life? Robots that efficiently plant carbon-absorbing seagrass? And computing chips that use light instead of electricity to process information? These innovations being developed within NTT Group are among many promising developments led by businesses around the world. The challenges are real and become more urgent each day. Even so, there are solid grounds for hope.
Is Antarctica as cold and mysterious as it seems? What are penguins really like? In this episode, host Belinda chats with Christie Lai and Justin Yeung, two university students who traveled to Antarctica as part of an expedition with famed polar explorer Robert Swan. After their travels, the pair formed 2041 Hong Kong, a youth-led organisation catalyzing cross-sector and intergenerational action for a more sustainable future. Listen in to a vivid story of what it's like journeying to the most remote continent on Earth.
Host Dan Smith speaks with three members of the Undaunted expedition team at their Antarctic base camp on Union Glacier. Conversations range from why adventurers do what they do, and what it's like walking on the Antarctic Plateau, to how it feels just before they board the plane to fly to Undaunted's starting point, just under 100 miles from the South Pole. The interviews were recorded at Union Glacier Camp in late December. The expedition formally began on Christmas Day. As of publication date, Robert Swan and team had 30 nautical miles left to reach the South Pole on foot.
“When Robert first went to the South Pole, back in 1985, believe it or not there were actually more people that had been to the moon than had actually been to the South Pole!”Gez Draycott, Vice President of Sales Engineering at SES returns to the Satellite Stories podcast with a follow up of the latest twists and turns working with explorer Robert Swan. He announces that SES will be sponsoring him to head back to Antarctica for Robert's next expedition - but this time they'll be pushing the boundary further physically and technically than any of SES's other ESG feats to date: #ChallengeAcceptedListen back to our earlier episodes, when we supported Robert and the 2041 ClimateForce expedition in March 2022: https://www.ses.com/podcasts/live-streaming-antarctica-part-1-whyhttps://www.ses.com/podcasts/live-streaming-antarctica-part-2-howAnd to follow Gez's progress visit instagram.com/gez_antarctica and www.gdraycott.co.uk Satellite Stories podcast is presented by SES Senior Creative, Kristina Smith-Meyer.If you'd like to find out more about the technology and causes we're supporting with our Corporate Social Responsibility team - you can read more on our ESG page.
The time has come, and the Undaunted: South Pole 2023 expedition team has gathered at the southern tip of Chile for final preparations before venturing off to the South Pole. Host Dan Smith shares some perspective on visiting Punta Arenas, and Robert Swan shares his thoughts now that the expedition's gear is all packed and loaded at the local airport, waiting for good weather to take off for Union Glacier Camp in Antarctica.
Polar pioneer and advocate Robert Swan shares what it's like to be in Antarctica and how the continent has changed over decades due to climate change. He talks about rising from failures and how the achievement of big objectives can lead to feelings of emptiness. Thanks to his friends and polar experiences, Robert found a new life goal of preserving Antarctica and combating climate change.
Welcome to Undaunted, with Robert Swan and NTT DATA. In the 1980s, Robert became the first person to walk to the South and North poles. More recently, he's tried twice to finish his roughly 1,500-mile walk across the entire Antarctic landmass, but devastating injuries stopped him both times. He intends to complete the 97 remaining miles in an expedition he calls "Undaunted: South Pole 2023." In Episode 1, we learn about Robert's original treks to the South and North poles, the physical challenges, excruciating conditions, ultimate success ... and the emptiness that sometimes comes after achieving a momentous goal. We also hear about what came next and how Jacques Cousteau gave Robert a 50-year mission to preserve Antarctica as an independent land reserved for science and peace. In pursuit of this mission, Robert advocates for clean energy as well as sustainable business practices and personal lifestyles. In future episodes, we'll hear more about Robert's expeditions and his mission to save Antarctica by changing the world. We'll also learn how organizations and individuals can begin their own journeys toward sustainability.

UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-0"));Hej kära läsare Idag vill jag börja med att tala om att jag och Karin är med på Flow Summit ihop med bland andra Deepak Chopra, Eckardt Tolle, Joe Dispenza och Byron Katie. Du kan vara med GRATIS genom att anmäla dig HÄR! Nu är det dessutom bara ett fåtal platser kvar för dig som vill vara med på vårt tvådagars retreat Mental Hälsa & livsglädje 15-16 oktober. Gör det tillsammans med humörtränaren Jesper Caron. Du som funderar på att vara med hittar mer info och möjlighet att anmäla dig HÄR! Förra veckan fick jag mängder av mail av er som hittade en viktig insikt mellan raderna. Fortsätter därför i samma riktning och hoppas att ännu fler av er ser något ni inte sett förut. Vet att det kan vara svårt att höra något nytt i något som låter som man hört det förut, men då jag vet av personlig erfarenhet att inget kan betyda mer för livet än att förstå grunderna i vår mänsklighet är det värt varje försök. Så scrolla ner, läs och kom ihåg: Ditt liv är ett mästerverk, Anders Haglund Nothing found. UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-1"));Veckans citat ”Det största hotet mot vår planet är tron att någon annan ska rädda den.”- Robert Swan, upptäckare UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-2")); UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-3"));Din bästa miljö för äkta framgångUNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById("row-unique-4"));Det går väl knappt en dag utan att man får läsa något om miljön. Det är global uppvärmning, utsläpp av olja, saboterade gasledningar, kärnvapenhot, kemikalier och mängder av annat med potential att ta kål på oss. Tror att de flesta av oss även utan de här tecknen förstår att det kan vara en bra idé att sköta om planeten lite bättre. Den är ju än så länge det enda ställe vi har att bo på. Dessutom behöver vi ju tänka längre än näsan räcker om vi ska lämna de bästa av förutsättningar för kommande generationer. Hur det ska gå till debatterar många smarta sinnen om som har större förmåga att påverka än jag. Skälet att jag tar upp det här är av en annan anledning. För jag har sett ett vanligt missförstånd hos många. Så jag vill här reda ut det här genom att skapa någon form av förståelse för hur miljön påverkar våra dagliga resultat. Förhoppningsvis så att du kan kan använda det på positiva sätt både på jobbet och hemma. Låt mig se om en enkel metafor kan vara en början att beskriva det hela. Den som någon gång har haft mögel hemma förstår nog ganska snart meningslösheten i att attackera möglet direkt. För det spelar ingen roll hur du än skrapar eller gnider in ”antimögelmedel” så att det står härliga till. Det kommer ändå tillbaka. I varje fall tills du tar tag i själva orsaken, vilket är att göra något åt fuktproblemet som gör att möglet trivs. Förändra miljön genom att ställa in en luftavfuktare så försvinner det mesta av det som genom magi. Lite på samma sätt funkar det om man har problem i ett förhållande eller på en arbetsplats. Det spelar ingen roll hur mycket regler och värderingar man kommer överens om. Så länge som sinnestillståndet hos de inblandade är lågt så kommer ”relationsmöglet” växa tillbaka och så har man samma problem igen. För stressade, pressade, oroliga och otrygga människor visar inte upp sina bästa sidor. Försöker du pressa dem i rätt riktning så sparkar de bara bakut än mer. För att försöka lösa ett internt problem med externa metoder kan bli rejält frustrerande. Nyckeln när du själv eller någon annan verkar stå inför vad som verkar vara en stressig situation, ett tufft beslut eller en känsla av orättvisa, är att se att var det du känner kommer ifrån. För det är en grundläggande psykologisk princip att det du känner kommer från din personliga tankevärld. Utan den insikten, att vi lever i känslan av våra tankar ögonblick till ögonblick och inte i känslan av våra omständigheter,
Part 2 of 2: Robert Swan talks about the bittersweet climax of his South Pole expedition and his treacherous journey to the North Pole, the alcohol problem that pushed him to the edge, how Jacques Cousteau inspired him to pursue a 50-year mission, why he emigrated to the United States, and what he is learning from the son now following in his footsteps.
Part 1 of 2: Robert Swan talks about the boyhood fascination with Robert Falcon Scott that grew into a burning ambition to follow in the doomed explorer's footsteps and how he overcame various obstacles to become the first person to walk to both the north and south poles.
This week we revisit our conversation with Robert Swan, who is the first person to have walked to both the North and South Poles. His leadership and determination made his 900-mile journey to the South Pole the longest unassisted march in history. He was awarded the Polar Medal by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and is a United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for Youth. Robert is a polar pioneer, a leader in energy innovation, and the founder of the 2041 Foundation. This story of unbelievable spirit will take you on a journey of inspiration, courage, and humility. Robert committed to his dream at the age of 11, achieved it with a team after 22 years, and is now, on a 50-year mission to help preserve Antarctica.
When record-breaking polar explorer Robert Swan asked whether SES could help live-stream from his next expedition across Antarctica - frankly, we jumped at the opportunity to play our part. SES's Senior Manager Amber Ledgerwood shares how she and her team work to support social and environmental initiatives. Robert Swan's ‘2041 Mission' included. In this fascinating episode, Amber and Robert discuss how they're hoping the project will unfold - live - on board the expedition vessel in March 2022. Plus, we hear why and how SES takes our environmental, social and corporate governance objectives seriously. Satellite Stories podcast is presented by SES's Senior Creative, Kristina Smith-Meyer.

Sandra is one of those people who have communicative energy. She does a lot, works a lot, but never forgets why she is here: to learn, grow, practice kindness and cultivate her happiness. She climbed the corporate ladder in an impressive way being the head of Facebook IQ for South Asia Pacific. She became a public figure in Singapore through her environmental activist work with the Up 2 degrees movement she created so that aircons are set at 23 degrees inside. She went twice to Antarctica, once with one of the most famous explorers Robert Swan and as a UN women ambassador. She decided to quit the best job, the best lifestyle to pursue her dream: sailing the world and really being. She trained for 6 months, felt very privileged to be on the “Round the world clip race”, came back to London, and self-published a children's book on her adventure. She really pushes boundaries, connects with people, and inspires them. That's probably why she is been featured in a lot of media from the Financial Times to the London tube! Let's spend the next hour with this amazing woman who is fun, sharp, down-to-earth, and driven. Let's go!
Today I finally interview Tomorrow's Air co-founder Nim de Swardt on the show. Nim is a social entrepreneur, audio storyteller, founder, board director, strategic advisor, “lifestorian”, and champion of co-generational connections. She was also the world's first Chief Next Generation Officer when she co-founded NEXT GEN; a global intrapreneurship program in a company operating across 20 countries with 6,500 employees. Nim's connection to the natural world began in her childhood in Queensland, Australia where she was raised in a treehouse in a tropical beach community. Later she would leave the nest and become a world traveler and a climate action champion. Nim and I met in Antarctica while she was in the “valley” chapter of her life and seeking more meaning and purpose. It was there, and together with Robert Swan, that Tomorrow's Air was born. We discuss Nim's impressive career that led to where she is now, her focus on intergenerational collaborations, her passion for gathering others' stories, the one song that she would have to include on her playlist, and much more.
„Die größte Gefahr für unseren Planeten ist der Glaube, dass jemand anderes ihn rettet.“ * Robert Swan
Robert Swan je pustolovec, ki je svojo radovedno naravo odkril že pri enajstih letih. Ko so številni otroci razmišljali o igračah ali kakšnih prostočasnih dejavnostih, je Swan razmišljal o hoji. In ne o kakršni koli hoji, temveč si je v mislih risal prostrane ravnine južnega in severnega tečaja. Osredotočenost na cilj je bila tako jasna, da se mu je dvajset let pozneje želja uresničila. Prehodil je južni tečaj. Nato pa še severnega. Od prve stopinje na Antarktiki naprej se je zavedal, da bo to odkrivanje postalo njegovo življenje. Sebe sicer ne označuje za raziskovalca, temveč za ljubitelja narave in ozaveščevalca o nujnosti njenega ohranjanja. Zakaj mu je tako blizu ravno neprijazna Antarktika, kaj pomeni število 2041 in kaj 106?

Robert Swan is a polar environmentalist, author and founder of 2041, a company that is dedicated to the preservation of Antarctica. The year 2041 is hugely important as it marks the end of a 50 year treaty that was signed by almost every nation designating Antarctica as ‘a natural reserve land for science and peace' as well as placing a ban on mining and mineral exploration for that period. Each year, Robert takes groups of climate scientists, business leaders and students to see first hand the effects of climate change on the region. Sit back and listen as Robert shares what he has learnt about leadership, and his mission to increase awareness and create a community of leaders willing to take action. https://2041foundation.org/Social:Instagram @evolvingleaderLinkedIn The Evolving Leader PodcastTwitter @Evolving_Leader

When Rob Krolik agreed to join us for a CFO (emeritus) episode, we expected to hear about the successful business turnaround chapter that he added to his finance resume while CFO at Move.com. We also anticipated learning about his years at Yelp, where—back in 2011, as the firm’s new CFO—he was credited with helping to lead one of the year’s most successful IPOs. While Krolik was only too happy to share a few thoughts regarding both of these chapters, he also reflected on a place in time about which we never expected to hear—namely, when a speech delivered by the outgoing president of his international youth group turned out to be plagiarized and in fact a word-for-word copy of an address given by another retiring president a number of years earlier. “It was a very moving speech and I had put the guy up on a pedestal, so it taught me not to put anyone up there again,” explains Krolik, who notes that this experience from his teen years led him to enter the professional world with a self-mandate to treat people as individuals. “It actually allowed me to treat people equally at the different jobs I’ve had. Whether it was a CEO or COO or the lowest-level accountant, they were going to be treated all the same,” he continues. Still, Krolik’s egalitarian aspirations have not stifled his willingness to offer generous praise to past mentors and bosses alike, among whom is counted finance executive Robert Swan, the former CFO of eBay (and more recently Intel CEO), who is allotted perhaps the lion’s share of Krolik’s kudos. “He was able to explain things in a way that made sense to everyone in the room and not just the tech people and not just the finance and accounting people,” recalls Krolik, who joined eBay after the firm acquired Shopping.com, where Krolik had served in his first CFO role. Krolik would stay on at eBay as a vice president of finance for another 3 years before entering the CFO office at Move.com. –Jack Sweeney Leave rating & review Signup for our Newsletter GET MORE: Order now The CFO Yearbook, 2021

Clean energy is a great way to start moving in that direction.” SuperNova #2. “Private interest and corporate greed - this is why things aren't changing, why you see big oil, big tobacco and factory farming still reigning supreme, It all comes down to money and private interest.” SuperNova #3. “What's working is people voting with their dollars. Conscious consumers taking the power that they possess in their pocket, and putting it into companies that are doing good in the world.” Worst Clean Energy Moment – "We were hustling but not happy. We were grinding six months straight working 100 plus hour weeks to launch a tech startup, which was a very solid idea. We had interest from IBM, Microsoft and a bunch of other venture capitalists. We were soliciting a seven figure funding deal, got all the way to the money, and actually earned the contract for the seven figure funding deal. But we were just so burnt out, and we weren't happy. So we walked away. That was actually a catalyst and a turning point in both of our lives."

Scott Hamilton has faced stage 4 testicular cancer and three brain tumors. He famously lost his high-profile dream broadcasting gig to two much younger people and he's overcome a lifetime of hardships, including being adopted, being "too short" to skate and falling in love with figure skating, a sport his family couldn't afford. The Olympic gold medalist, broadcaster, author and father says despite it all, he remains an eternal optimist. He talks to Growing Bolder about his latest book, Finish First: Winning Changes Everything, and explains why he wants to change the recent perception that a drive to be the best is a bad thing.
Ghazala, was born in 1963, in Lahore, Pakistan, when still a baby, her family moved to London and she grew up in Twickenham. She has led an active life, being involved in rock-climbing, mountaineering, running, skiing and swimming, both in the UK and abroad. She loves the outdoors and now lives in the beautiful Derbyshire Peak District. She is married to the mountaineer Roger Mear, who in 1986, with Robert Swan and Gareth Wood, made the first unsupported walk to the South Pole with the expedition ‘In the Footsteps of Scott’. For this achievement, all three members were awarded the Queen’s Polar Medal. In 1996, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and had a year off work for chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Focusing on the positive aspects and being determined to be well, both physically and emotionally, helped her through that year. Having been a keen long distance runner, and never accepting that she would be anything other than recovered after her treatment, the following year with a 30% reduction in lung function, she ran the Sheffield Marathon. The whole experience, despite the difficulties, was positive for Ghazala and it enabled her to develop resilience, determination, humility, compassion and patience. During this podcast we learn more about Ghazala, her life, the decisions she’s made to get to where she is and what she’s learned along the way.

Robert then reflects on the experiences of great historical explorer Robert Falcon Scott who attempted a journey to the South Pole in the early 20th century. Also, hear how climate change affects Antarctica and the whole planet, from sea levels rising in Fiji to commercial extinction threatening the global shrimp population.
Thirty years ago, Robert Swan walked across this icy desert to the South Pole. He tried again, departing November 2017, this time with his twenty-three-year-old son, Barney. Their goal was to highlight the importance of sustainable energy and the imperative to curb climate change. They traveled with only renewable energy sources. Rob, now 61, was obviously older than the first time. He trained hard to make up for his own change, though what he could not prepare for was a change in the Antarctic.

Robert Swan: Boy's Own Hero Robert Swan is a modern hero cut in the cloth of Shakleton, Scott and the larger-than-life characters of the Victorian Era. His story is impressive. He's the first person to walk to both the South and North poles. Given the effects of climate change on polar ice he's quite likely also the last person as well - the melting of the ice means it's now not possible to undertake the journey's he completed twenty years ago - today you'd have to swim part of the way. The land of ice he traveled in his youth is now, literally, melting under his feet as global warming takes hold. Since traveling to the Poles, and observing the effects of climate change and man-made pollution first-hand, Swan has dedicated his life to the preservation of Antarctica by the promotion of recycling, renewable energy and sustainability to combat the effects of climate change. This is detailed on his website www.2041.com. Why 2041? 2041 is the year of the review of the Environmental Protocol of the Antarctic Treaty. Swan's aim is to work towards the protection of this treaty, so there is never a need to exploit the last great continent on Earth for minerals and fossil fuel. Following his success in removing 1,500 tons of rubbish from Antarctica and with the foresight and support of the Russian Antarctic Division, Robert Swan stood at the Bellingshausen Russian base on King George Island looking down on the beach that had been cleaned. From that moment he believed that an education station in Antarctica, where the world could see the beauty of this incredible continent, would inspire and educate people around the world about climate change and play a crucial role in promoting renewable energy, preservation and conservation for future generations. He's established an educational facility in Antarctica. The E-Base is a sustainable green building operated in an environmental and resource efficient manner. Public speaking for the greater good Swann is now traveling the world meeting with students in colleges and universities presenting the opportunity to join his campaign to help rescue these pristine wildernesses from the effects of climate change. He's a compelling and fiery public speaker. I caught up with him after a presentation to a small group of leadership coaches from Hewlett-Packard in Palo Alto. He told me about the importance "telling it like it is"; about the urgency of his work; and how college kids are receiving his message. To hear the interview, click on the podcast icon below.
