Podcast appearances and mentions of Tim Smit

Stuart Maconie presents Loose Ends from the North Cornwall Book Festival in St Endellion. He is joined by Patrick Gale, Tom Allan, Anna Keirle and Tim Smit, and there's music from the multi-instrumentalist Angeline Morrison.Patrick Gale is the author of the Emmy award-winning BBC drama Man in an Orange Shirt and novels including A Place Called Winter, A Perfectly Good Man and Notes From An Exhibition. He's been the Artistic Director of the North Cornwall Book Festival since it began in 2012. He joins Loose Ends to tell us all about his final year in the role. Born in Scotland and armed only with an English degree, Tom Allan turned his back on his desk-based city job and headed west, where a life out in the open air beckoned. Now a full-time thatcher and writer, Tom's book On The Roof tells tales of craftmanship from around the world and he joins Stuart to talk nitches, yealms and exactly what to do with a biddle. Anna Keirle is stand-up, writer and actor who has been working the comedy circuit for over 20 years performing from Cornwall to Edinburgh and beyond. She co-wrote and starred in Radio 4's Wosson Cornwall alongside Dawn French, and faced Anne Robinson when she took on - and won - The Weakest Link. Former archaeologist-come-songwriter-come-producer-come-entrepreneur Sir Tim Smit KBE once sheltered from the Cornish rain in an estate agents while on holiday - and ended up buying a house. After relocating to Cornwall, he came across someone who needed a little archaeology expertise for some overgrown and neglected land... and the Lost Gardens of Heligan were reborn. Spotting a disused pit a little further up the road, and - one night in the local pub later - plans for the Eden Project were formed. Opening in 2001, the Project has contributed over £1.9 billion to the Cornish economy. And there's music from Angeline Morrison, who joins us to play Fair Maid In Bedlam and the haunting Unknown African Boy. Angeline has been unearthing the voices of black ancestors whose footprint has been missing from the collected British folk history. Affectionately referred to as 're-storying', the result of her work - 2022's The Sorrow Songs - drew acclaim across the board, praising her “courage in reconstructing folk repertoire” as “truly revolutionary”.

Jamie Quince-Starkey has worked with planes, trains and automobiles, but he found himself most at at home in himself, and at peace with the world when he had his hands in the soil, growing thing to eat. Many of us might resonate with this, but Jamie took it a step further and set up Down to Earth Derby, a life-changing project that, as he says, "is an idea born out of conflict; the conflict of living life in the modern-day and the realisation of the negative impact we have on this planet. The challenge is making a difference whilst also being realistic and having an understanding of how life is for the average person; I know we can't just jump ship and move to an off-grid community (imagine if the problem was that simple)!" It's not simple, and he was working full time and had recently become a dad, but even so, he set up the project and threw himself into its mission:- to work for our communities empowering everyone to be part of making Derby a world leader in nature-based urban regeneration.  - to make living with nature a part of our everyday lives.- to create a movement with the people of Derby through a series of nature-based engagement projects and promoting the new city social.- to promote and contribute to a thriving sustainable-regenerative economy for everyone, making Derby a blueprint for world-class nature-based urban regeneration.Jamie was mentored by Tim Smit of the Eden Project, who introduced him to another Derby resident, Ross Nicholson. Ross is co-founder of Neo, an international network of 15,000+ individuals and companies across over 100 countries across the sustainable futures space which 'makes vital human connections to get stuff done.'  And getting stuff done is what Down to Earth Derby is all about - this is about creating real change in a real city for real people, working on real regenerative principles.   It's an idea that's evolving in real time and is replicable anywhere in the world.  Making change from the ground up and the inside out.

It is said, “Gardens and flowers have a way of bringing people together, drawing them from their homes.” Close your eyes and imagine a place with nature around you, with plants from around the world. Now, what if we tell you, such a place exists and on the ground, which is almost equal to the size of 30 football pitches? Yes, that is true, and it is made on once a barren land which had wastes of mineral disposals. We are talking about the lush green county of Cornwall's The Eden Project. Sir Tim Smit is a Dutch-born businessman. He is the co-founder of the celebrated Eden Project, Executive Vice-Chair of Eden Project Ltd, and Executive Chairman of Eden Project International Ltd. Tim Smit has also tried his hands in the music industry. He worked as an archaeologist before stepping into the business world. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tbcy/support

Private equity requires a great diversity of skill to succeed. For most, those skills do not include cyber risk management. This creates potential for devastating exposure during acquisition, administration, and even sale of portfolio assets. Cyber continues to create challenging circumstances and unique problems. On this episode, Tim Smit, Lockton's Privacy & Cyber Risk Consulting Leader, discusses what that looks like, how private equity and cyber are interacting, and what it means for risk.

In this episode, we discuss Do Build, Alan Moore's recent book. It draws on his years of research into some of the most pioneering and progressive businesses on the planet.

Often beautiful, sometimes deadly, but constantly ingenious, plants are the source of life and delight, myth and mayhem. Jonathan Drori CBE is the author of the acclaimed Around the World in 80 Trees, which sold 120,000 copies worldwide, an Ambassador for the WWF, fellow of the Linnean Society and the Royal Geographical Society, and a former Trustee of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. His new book Around the World in 80 Plants takes readers on a trip across the globe, bringing to life the science of plants by revealing how their worlds are intricately entwined with our own history, culture and folklore. Sarah Raven is the author of numerous bestselling books on both gardening and cooking, and is a regular on the BBC's Great British Garden Revival and Gardener's World. Her new book A Year Full of Flowers is a guide to gardening in all seasons, which reveals the hundreds of hardworking varieties that make the garden sing each month, together with the practical tasks that ensure everything is planted, staked and pruned at just the right time. Sir Tim Smit is best known for his achievements in Cornwall. He ‘discovered' and then restored ‘The Lost Gardens of Heligan' with John Nelson, which is now one of the UK's best loved gardens having been named ‘Garden of the Year' by BBC Countryfile Awards.

About this episode What do you do when your desire to change the world seems at odds with capitalism? Sir Tim Smit pulls back the curtains on the perception of a contradictory world that is actually not so contradictory at all. He shares the lessons and mistakes that can transform an organization from ordinary to extraordinary, and it all has to do with mutually beneficial partnerships. “If you can't do the whole job, you could end up doing a lot of damage.” So how do you make sure you can do the whole job? About Sir Tim Smit Sir Timothy Bartel Smit KBE is a Dutch-born British businessman is best known for his achievements in Cornwall and for writing the book The Lost Gardens of Heligan, winner of the 1997 Book of the Year. He and John Nelson restored the gardens, which are now one of the UK's best loved gardens and named “Garden of the Year” by BBC Countryfile Awards (Mar 2018).   Tim started work as an archaeologist before taking an unexpected leap into the music business, working as both a songwriter and producer receiving seven platinum and gold discs.  Tim is currently the Executive Vice-Chair and Co-founder of the multi award-winning Eden Project in Cornwall. Since its opening in 2001, over 22 million people have come to see a once-sterile pit turned into a cradle of life containing world-class horticulture and startling architecture, symbolic of human endeavour.  He dreamt up and created the Eden Project, near St Austell, an £80 million initiative to build two transparent biomes in an old china clay pit near the village of Bodelva, which is said to have contributed over £1 billion into the Cornish economy. Tim is also Executive Co-Chair for Eden Project International, which aims to have an Eden Project on every habited continent by 2025.  Key points The pandemic has exacerbated but also highlighted and accelerated necessary changes in how we interact with our environment. Long-term partnerships - that are mutually beneficial - are the key to sustained growth and opportunities that can truly make a difference. The Eden Project is more than just building pretty gardens, there are deep, social and philosophical, reasons for why it has been developing scientifically the way it has. The key to upending the status quo when it comes to clean air and water for all is having difficult conversations that really examine why capitalism and moral bankruptcy are falsely equated. Some of the difficult conversations are unintentional consequences of oversimplifying complex issues as “good” or “bad” Sir Tim Smit lists his favourite people and books that discuss intelligent approaches to understanding how the world should work, and how it was working before intervention that was backed by greed and self-interest.  Time stamps [4:18] The social impact of pandemic and lockdowns [12:14] What is the difference between investment and impact investment?

This was the first interview I did about my rewilding project. As you will hear, I spoke to Tim first as he is a friend, and someone who could inspire me with ideas and put me in touch with people - which he did admirably. It is fascinating to hear Tim talk about, and around the subject, and I hope you enjoy it. You can see the rushed photographs I took of him just after the interview at www.whatifyoujustleaveit.info Any comments and reviews very welcome, and thank you for listening.

Tim Smit, founder of the Eden Project on how not to go down in flames. and if you trust in your intuition you'll always roll a six.Tim is Chief Executive and co-founder of the Eden Project. Eden began as a dream in 1995 and opened its doors in 2000 since then more than 12 million people have come to see what was once a sterile pit turned into a cradle of life containing world-class horticulture and startling architecture symbolic of human endeavour.Eden is proud of its success in changing people's perception of the potential for and the application of science. It demonstrates once and for all that sustainability is not about sandals and nut cutlets, it is about good business practice and the citizenship values of the future.—Recorded live at the global event in Cardigan, west Wales in 2012.Watch Tim's full talk here: www.thedolectures.com/talks/tim-smit-why-is-beauty-such-an-important-word

From our first conversation you know Tim's history as a musician and founder of the Eden Project. This time you'll hear the passion of a man who loves restoring the Earth's ability to sustain life and human society.He talks about the spirituality of his work, connecting to the Earth, eating, and growing. For city dwellers like most of us, he shares the potential for that connection available to all of us. We have to take the steps, but the emotionally rewarding results are there.As you listen to this episode about food, plants, land, connection, community, and many things wholesome, I recommend contrasting Tim's world with, say, Facebook or Doritos. In my experience, they disperse community, make connections superficial, and plasticize nature to create craving for brief, regrettable alleviation from that craving. Are they worth it?Usually I prefer second episodes to cover the personal challenge a guest did. In Tim's case we didn't, though it's hard to miss that he lives a life of having done so for years.

Tim Smit has admired Humphrey Jennings since seeing Danny Boyle’s Olympics Opening Ceremony in 2012. Jennings was a film maker, artist, and co-founder of the Mass Observation Movement. Many of the scenes in that memorable Olympic ceremony were inspired by his work. His films about ordinary British life during the Second World War are a poetic testament to the people of the British Isles, Tim Smit wants to know why Jennings isn’t better known? Smit is founder of the Eden Project. He’s joined in studio by curator Ros Cranston from the British Film Institute, with contributions from Jennings' biographer Kevin Jackson Clips from Listen To Britain 1941 © Crown and London Can Take It 1940 GPO courtesy of the BFI National Archive. The films are free to view on the BFI website https://player.bfi.org.uk/free The presenter is Matthew Parris. Producer: Maggie Ayre

Tim Smit is the co-founder and Vice Chairman of the Eden Project in Cornwall, in the southwest of England.He turned a lifeless, poisoned abandoned mine into a bountiful green world-class garden people love to visit. Eden has attracted millions of visitors and billions of pounds. Tim is a consummate doer---not complainer or blamer---and an environmental campaign and entrepreneur, Tim tells how he met challenges he couldn't have foreseen. I love that Tim has no special skills. He did what needed doing to finish the project, then to take it to the next level each time. How did he learn what needed doing? By doing the steps before it.(Are you not starting because you don't know how to do some later stage? Start with what you can, get as far as you can, and solve each thing when you reach it. That's what Tim did. That's what everyone successful did to become successful.)Tim's wisdom is useful for anyone looking to make a difference. You just have to start.(Bonus points if you can tell what Tim Smit has in common with Anuta Catuna, winner of the New York City Marathon.) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This podcast is about sharing ideas, insights, research and experiences around emotion in the workplace.  Here we explore the breadth and depth of emotions so listeners can use what we discuss to help enrich lives or help protect from or reduce harm.  We focus on the roles #emotion #credibility and #deception play in the workplace. In this episode Phil interviews two deep thinkers, authors and fascinating people; Khurshed Denugara and Claire Genkai-Breeze (links to bios below).  We start with the idea of willingness as a underrated human trait.  The willingness to 'as you go' share your weaknesses or flaws and be willing to work hard in the moment.  We talk about 'near enemies' of things and as an example; the near enemy of being flawed but willing is the protocol of sharing weaknesses because that is what 'should be done'.   As well as talking around the ideas and experiences we have with our flaws and vulnerability we get into tips, techniques and advice for how as individuals and as colleagues at work, we can help with that.  We also talk about how leadership is changing over time and the identity challenges that can bring so that leaders can be set and ready for the future.  We talk a lot about the emotional aspects and experience of leadership and how we 'denumb' people from the way that leadership is approached.  What Phil found really interesting is that spontaneously during the conversation, each of the participants was acknowledging their flaws and willing to listen and share with each other along the way.  In his introduction Phil says that he got 'lost' in this chat and forgot his role of host.  Hopefully he still did a good job with the podcast.  Enjoy ;-))   Guests: https://www.linkedin.com/in/khursheddehnugara/?ppe=1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/claire-genkai-breeze-48b30935/   Books: Flawed but willing - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Flawed-but-Willing-Organizations-Connection/dp/1907794778/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=6QX9GE805T46YEJKH7H2 The Challenger Spirit - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Challenger-Spirit-Organizations-Disturb-Status/dp/1907794646/ref=dp_ob_title_bk   Videos: Brene Brown on Vulnerability - https://youtu.be/iCvmsMzlF7o Goffman and 'lines' - https://youtu.be/zyvIYc9s__M   Other links: Equanimity - http://www.insightmeditationcenter.org/books-articles/articles/equanimity/ Tim Smit and the Eden Project - http://www.edenproject.com/eden-story/about-us/sir-tim-smit-kbe#CKjcAIEzQUOkYLRO.97   Suggested reading World as lover and world as self - Joanna Macy https://www.amazon.co.uk/World-Lover-Self-Living-Turbulent/dp/188837571X Bearing witness - Roshi Bernie & Glassman https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bearing-Witness-Masters-Lessons-Making/dp/0609600613

Tim Smith says Britain is very far from broken. In fact, he argues, its are a really good country, and if we learn to trust one another again we could be wonderful. Pointing to the success of collaborative ventures he started, like the Eden Project and Big Lunch, he suggests we should set ourselves the goal of energy independence. This, he says, would be as much about the symbolism as the environmentalism: a vivid demonstration that far from being a dying culture, we are in fact a vigorous one. Four Thought is a series of talks which combine thought provoking ideas and engaging storytelling. Recorded in front of an audience at the RSA in London, speakers take to the stage to air their latest thinking on the trends, ideas, interests and passions that affect our culture and society.
