We all need a bit of hope right now, don't we?

But there is a shard of light.

In fact, it's bigger than a shard.

And it's called the kindness economy.

It's the future of how we will work, live, buy and sell.

And the businesses we will create that consider giving back to people and planet as important as making a profit.

I think the future of the High Street is really, really exciting.

Yeah, because all that really boring old crap is falling away.

We just thought, what's the way we could make the biggest impact in the shorter space of time?

And actually, it was through entering the sort of dragon's lair, if you like.

Join me to hear some really inspirational people at the forefront of this movement.

People like the founders of Lush, Brue Dog and Vestiere.

How can I make sure that my wardrobe is just composed of items that I enjoy?

Be very conscious and buy into quality items that will last

a long time. Economists too, who are going to help us unravel how we create new business models

that will serve our communities and how we live better. Politicians are not going to be able to get us

out of this mess. I believe it's got to be the best, most forward-thinking businesses that can lead us out of the mess that we've got ourselves

into. There'll be tips too on how each of us can bring the kindness economy to life by

buying better, living better and being mindful of every action that we do.

Stories from across the world of people who are doing it

and of course inspiring conversations about why this really is the future

on how we will live, do business and just do better.
