Insightful conversations about people, politics and planetary topics to better understand our complex world.


Our guest for episode 2 is Sergio Petrucci MBE, Founder of Red Sky Foundation, University of Sunderland alumni and North East Corporate Charity Ambassador of the Year.


Borrowing from Sergio's LinkedIn profile: "Having raised nearly £1/2 million to date, the award-winning Red Sky Ball was created in 2016 as a one-off fundraising event for the fantastic Children’s Heart Unit at the Freeman Hospital. It quickly grew into a much loved registered charity and is now supported by a variety of individuals, local, national and international brands.

The aim of Red Sky Foundation is simple; to save lives and to support heart patients of all ages with problems right here in the North East of England."


Sergio joins Dr Derek Watson to talk about his life, including his beginnings working in his father's salons, a successful early career in sales and marketing, the heart-warming story of his daughter Luna and how she inspired the Red Sky Foundation's early forming.
