How Entrepreneurs and Technologists Might Just Save the Day

If you have been listening to The Resilience Report for a little while, it will come as no surprise that I deeply believe that innovation (from entrepreneurs and business leaders) is going to be what helps us take meaningful environmental action. Learning more about these brilliant minds and their businesses is truly where I draw my energy from in regularly recommitting to this work. In other words, I believe that in innovation, we can all find hope.

We often think of innovation as something that happens in the lab, or in the workplace. We can also fall into the trap of thinking that innovation is something that should just happen naturally. But did you know that there are experts and communities out there specifically focused on helping to drive innovation?

Our next guest is someone who has spent more than a decade creating this very culture of innovation amongst entrepreneurs and companies.

Noah Redler is the founder and President of Arche Innovation and an active member of the global innovation community. He is passionate about understanding how organizations and people are evolving in the era of perpetual innovation and a believer that we can ensure the harmonious integration of humanity and technology in society and the workplace.

Since 2010, Noah has been directly involved in the creation, development and implementation of programs designed to support entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystems. He is frequently asked to speak on the subjects related to creating innovation cultures within organizations, the future of work and organizational transformation.

I consider myself lucky to know Noah, and to be able to see how he energizes, inspires and supports those around him. He is an absolute wealth of knowledge, and I hope that this episode gives you the spark you need to further integrate innovation into your sustainability path.
