In this episode, Kate Larsen schools Mike on ethical business, supply chains, workers rights, the environmental impact of buying new clothes too often, and she takes us on a comprehensive deep dive into how and where our everyday clothing items come from and at what cost.

in this episode I speak with Octavia Hopwood who is a microbiologist and soil ecologist. We discuss researching real world applications of soil biology for regenerative farming and also Octavia's work in front of the Camera as a presenter and professional stuntwoman.

As a former member of Team GB Kayak, Sal Montgomery shares with Mike about how she got into the world of kayaking. Sal talks about her numerous expeditions, often with an all-male team and occasionally taking on the role of safety kayaker on TV series. She has saved people from drowning on more than one occasion.

Expedition kayaker and adventure author, Sal can usually be found in deep, committing canyons, exploring unknown whitewater and dropping off tall waterfalls. Sal’s led multiple first-descents all over the world, often in some pretty weird and wonderful places!

Sal trained as a physiotherapist and worked with the NHS during the Pandemic while travels could no longer happen.

When she's not working at Nottinghamshire's Kings Mill Hospital, she's out conquering uncharted territory in her one-woman kayak. Sal’ passion for exploring has led her to visit some of the world's most dangerous and beautiful locations.
