A quiet but growing crisis above our heads.
This mini-episode explores how orbital debris became one of humanity’s most overlooked environmental risks, who created it, why responsibility is fragmented, and what happens if we keep treating orbit as an infinite dumping ground.
A short reflection on why record renewable build-out doesn’t automatically mean real decarbonisation. This mini-episode looks beyond capacity charts to the harder questions of system limits, material footprints, industrial use, and where the energy transition actually delivers or quietly fails.
2024 didn’t feel dramatic.
No global shock. No clear turning point.
In this mini-episode of Beyond the Business, I talk about how a year that felt completely normal quietly shifted the baseline and why the most important changes often happen without noise, headlines, or panic. A story about climate, systems, and how normal can change while life goes on.
La Niña, changing ocean currents, atmospheric rivers — these are not isolated events, but connected signals of an energy-imbalanced planet. In this episode, we unpack what these climate signals mean, where they come from, and why the system is already responding with or without our decisions.
Fossil, nuclear, renewable - different energy paths, familiar consequences.
Sustainability is often framed as a choice. This episode challenges that idea. When systems reach physical and ecological limits, choice disappears and only constraints remain.
A short episode about invisible plastic in everyday systems — cards, passes, and routines we rarely question.
Before the first kilometre is driven, every car already carries an environmental debt. This episode explores hidden emissions in vehicle production and why sustainability often starts long before use.
A documentary-style exploration of the hidden cost behind “clean” technologies.
This episode reveals what happens after the green promise fades — the materials, the waste, the impact we prefer not to see.
A slow, honest dive into the side of sustainability no one puts on stage.
In this episode, we break down a difficult truth: we don’t live in a circular economy — we live in an economy of waste.
Circularity sounds elegant, promising, even inevitable. But beneath the diagrams, the arrows and the soft language, the system still moves in one direction: from extraction to disposal.
I explore why most materials never return to the cycle, why recycling cannot keep up, and how the modern industrial model is designed to generate waste by default, not by accident.
This episode sets the foundation for everything that will follow — a clear, honest look at how our systems work, and why they struggle to change.
If you’re interested in sustainability, climate, business transformation or the future of materials, this is where the conversation begins.
