Kate Williams has spent more than a decade leading one of the world’s most influential environmental movements, but her path to becoming CEO of 1% for the Planet began far from any boardroom. In this episode, Blue Earth Co-Founder & CEO Will Hayler sits down with Kate Williams for a deeply energising conversation on purpose, leadership, and the competitive edge that comes from staying connected to the natural world. Kate reflects on the mountaintop moment that shaped her life’s work, the transition from outdoor educator to global CEO, and why simplicity is the key to unlocking meaningful climate action. They explore the challenges of building a movement across 110 countries, the risk of paralysis in the climate space, and how 1% for the Planet is pushing toward its next billion dollars in global impact.
