DO Radio
I co-host a show on DO Radio with Jon Kaye.
We talk to founders, entrepreneurs and thinkers who believe business can - and should - be about more than money.
Our conversations explore the Quadruple Bottom Line: Purpose, People, Planet and Profit - and what it really takes to build a successful business while making a positive difference in the world.
There are no scripts and no surface-level answers. We're interested in the real stories: what drives people, how they lead, the impact they want to make, the mistakes they've made, and how they make the commercial reality work.
DO Radio is the radio station from the team behind The DO Lectures, championing what radio does best: live, unfiltered and unscripted conversations.
The DO Lectures is an annual gathering in West Wales for people who care about how they live and work. Its talks explore purpose, creativity, leadership, sustainability and courage, and have been viewed more than 150 million times online.
I gave my own DO Lecture in 2025, and I've been part of the DO community for many years.
Here are some of the people Jon and I have had the pleasure of talking to...
Charmian Love
Charmian Love is a founding member of B Lab UK, a long-time champion of business as a force for good, and she’s now the co-founder of Heliotropy, an investment company backing nature-positive ventures. Her career has been a steady rebellion against the idea that profit sits at the top of the pyramid and everything else is a footnote. Through the B Corp movement, she helped redefine what success looks like in business, pushing companies to measure their impact on workers, communities and the environment, not just shareholders.
With Heliotropy, she’s taking that philosophy into capital itself. The focus is bold and urgent: investing in businesses that restore ecosystems, protect biodiversity and help rebalance our relationship with the natural world. This is finance not as extraction, but as regeneration.

Liz Warner
Liz Warner is a media and social enterprise leader whose career has sat at the intersection of storytelling, public purpose and commercial reality. She founded the television production company Betty, growing it from a start-up into a major UK independent before its sale to Discovery Communications.
She later became CEO of Comic Relief, where she led work to modernise the charity, expand its digital fundraising, strengthen safeguarding, and respond to changing public expectations around charity, representation and impact.
Today Liz is co-founder and CEO of Different Kind, a social enterprise retail platform connecting customers with ethical products and gifts from socially motivated producers.

Carrie Goucher
Dr Carrie Goucher is the founder of FewerFasterBolder, where she helps organisations rethink the way they meet, collaborate and make decisions.
With 20 years’ experience in organisational culture change and a PhD in systems thinking from Cambridge, Carrie has spent years studying why meetings so often drain the life out of people, teams and businesses - and what it takes to make them useful again.
Her work is built on a simple but powerful idea: if you want better meetings, you have to fix the system around them, not just write a better agenda. Carrie’s approach is about fewer meetings, faster teams and bolder outcomes - giving people back the time, clarity and trust they need to do their best work.

Sir Tim Smit KBE
Sir Tim Smit KBE is the co-founder of the Eden Project, one of the UK’s most ambitious environmental and educational projects. Since opening to the public in 2001, it has welcomed millions of visitors and become a symbol of ecological imagination, regeneration and human possibility.
Before Eden, Tim helped restore the Lost Gardens of Heligan, another landmark Cornish project that brought a forgotten historic garden back to life. His career has also included archaeology, music production, writing and social enterprise, but his work has consistently returned to one central question: how do we help people reconnect with the natural world and believe they can change the places around them?

Raissa De Haas
Raissa de Haas and her twin sister, Joyce, are bringing personality and flavour to the soft drink mixers category with style and sustainability, as co-founders of Double Dutch Drinks.
Whilst partying at uni they found most mixers lacked the vibrancy of the spirits they were paired with. They used this as the focus of their joint Entrepreneurship Masters’ thesis which came top of the year and eventually became their business plan, winning seed money to bring their idea to life.
Raissa and Joyce also wanted to do business the ‘right’ way, which is why they’re proudly carbon neutral and Certified B-Corp, championing their unwavering commitment to social and environmental responsibility. AND they’ve set up a Female Bartender Scholarship Scheme to support women in their aspiring bartender and mixologist careers.
