In this episode, Dani speaks with Adam McGibbon. Environmental campaigner, strategist, and one of the most effective political operators you've probably never heard of.

Adam's track record is remarkable. He helped shift billions away from fossil fuel financing, secured pledges from 39 governments to end public money flowing to fossil fuel projects, and as a student activist in Belfast, helped stop a tuition fee rise that saved students around £1 billion by 2020.

But here's the twist: ask Adam why he does it, and the answer isn't what you'd expect. It's not the planet, exactly. It's the winning. Adam loves to win, and it turns out that when your opponent is government corruption and fossil fuel money, winning feels very good indeed.

A surprisingly fun, energising conversation about tenacity, strategy, and what happens when someone with a dog-with-a-bone mentality decides to take on the most powerful forces on the planet.
