Find yourself in a post-truth, post-science world?  Join Blair Please and I as we get into what to do about it, and cover a wide range of topics;

  • Dis- and misinformation, poisoning the well of public discussion, fake and bot profiles inserting prepared comments to misdirect voices of change.
  • The acquisition of the Wall Street Journal, the potential implications on the information coming through to markets on opportunities such as renewables, energy, batteries and clean tech as an emerging market
  • Existential challenges, new pundits, collaboration in the emerging low-carbon world and when we're seeing public discussions about nuclear energy policy and infrastructure;

Q. Is it generational thinking for the benefit of the public, as an outcome of citizen juries and civic responsibility?

Or is it a political wedge issue to get out of opposition?

Blair is the Director of Philanthropy at Ethinvest, Managing Editor at Climate & Capital Media and Founder of the Climate Capital Forum.

Strategy. Advice. Action. Outcomes.  That's my promise.

I help successful and ambitious people make big things happen.

They typically have a very real, significant and potentially life-changing opportunity.  But lack the bandwidth, connections, experience or capital to realise it on their own.

And I know, there are lots of advisers, specialists and consultants out there.

Some will hand you a list of problems to fix, others a plan or strategy.

But very few will stand beside you, hold the vision, do the work and make it happen. I do.
