What would it take to redesign the financial system so it truly serves people and planet?

In this episode of Making it Matter, I sit down with Ru Pearce, founder of Rewired Earth, to talk about what it really means to create systemic change.

Ru shares his journey from a FTSE 350 tech company to purpose-led entrepreneurship, how Growing Happy was born, and the big vision behind Rewired Earth: a cross-sector movement to reconnect what people care about with how money flows.

We talk about:

- Leaving behind a "successful" career to live your purpose

- Co-creating an Olympic ceremony with young people with disabilities

- Redesigning the financial system from extractive to protective

- Why cross-sector collaboration is hard, but essential

- The role of education and governance in making real change stick

This one’s for anyone building something bigger than themselves and wondering how to start, how to fund it, and how to keep going when it gets hard.
