Summary
We've had doctors, athletes, and celebrities on this show, but today, we can say for the first time, that we get to welcome a real-life PRINCE to the PLANTSTRONG podcast. Khaled bin Alwaleed is a member of the Saudi Arabian royal family who makes his living as a venture capitalist - supporting and investing in green businesses, changing technologies, and sustainable solutions for our health and the environment.
Khaled spoke in person at Plant-Stock about four years ago and shared his life-changing Galileo moment when he saw his health come full-circle with the health of our planet. It's an empowering story that he shares again in this interview.
Wealth can certainly provide a lot of things, but it can’t buy personal health or compassion. Those come from within and THIS is how Khaled operates - from his desire and obligation to make a positive difference because, as he says, “With great power comes great responsibility.”
It’s this responsibility that drives him to invest in people and companies that align with his values - that is to say - values that protect the planet, animals, and improve personal health because, at the end of the day, health is the REAL wealth.

| 0:00.0 | My aham moment was really connecting all the dots together and then going about 99% full circle. |
| 0:06.7 | And I say 99% full circle because not a lot of people get that it's not only for your health, |
| 0:14.4 | it's not only for the animals, but if you tie everything together with the environment, |
| 0:18.0 | then it all plays a complete role, so to speak. And sure enough, it's one part of the environment |
| 0:24.4 | that I'm working on listening to my carbon footprint, but there are other ways that I'm trying |
| 0:29.6 | to do that too. Season three of the Plant Strong podcast explores those Galileo moments |
| 0:40.5 | where you seek to understand the real truth around your health and dare to see the world |
| 0:48.7 | through a different lens. This season we honor those courageous seekers who are paving the way |
| 0:56.0 | for you and me. So grab your telescope, point it towards your future and let's get Plant Strong together. |
| 1:08.9 | Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of the Plant Strong podcast. I'm Rick Bessleston |
| 1:14.8 | your host. And we have had a doozy of the last couple of weeks between the delta variant that |
| 1:23.9 | is just tearing through this country and Ida that just made its way through Louisiana and then |
| 1:32.9 | up into the Northeast, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, New York City, it is nuts what we are |
| 1:45.3 | being put through. It really, it feels like we're being put through the ringer. And I just, |
| 1:51.0 | everybody that's out there do your best to keep the faith and know that things will get better. |
| 1:59.6 | Now moving on to the podcast, I must say that my favorite aspect of hosting this podcast |
| 2:08.4 | is having the honor of introducing you to real change makers and leaders who literally light |
| 2:17.0 | the way for the rest of us in our journey to healthy plant strong living. It's by their example |
| 2:24.3 | that we get to experience the infinite possibilities with wondrous amazing plants. |
| 2:32.8 | Now as you know, I've had doctors, athletes and actors on the show, but today I can say for the |
