Summary

Do you want to learn how to do, think and be better – for our planet and in life itself?

You are not alone. And it’s not just us in a personal capacity, either. Mark Shayler — thinker, doer, creator, speaker and author — helps brands too. He shows how big companies can think like small ones and small companies can think like big ones, to make sure they stand apart, remain relevant in our society and most importantly, retain their creative magic.

An expert in helping businesses innovate and prioritise sustainability, Mark sews the positive seeds of change that transform companies and help make our world a better place.

You’ll come away from this conversation overflowing with imaginative ways you’ll want to evolve, not only in the way you do business, but also in the way you live. Mark explains that the key lies in, “Not letting the success of yesterday get in the way of today”. Listen to find out why.

0:00.0	I've just had a conversation with Mark Schaler, who I had met at the Good Life Festival,
0:06.0	and knew I liked him immediately. He's a thinker, he's a doer, a creator, a speaker,
0:13.0	an author of two of the most utterly brilliant do-books, and you might not immediately recognize Mark's
0:19.2	name, but I promise you after this podcast, you're not going to forget him. Mark not only has
0:25.4	immense knowledge of sustainability. He's had three decades in the industry, but what I loved
0:31.8	is his deep understanding empathy of the issues businesses face and how he can pull together the
0:41.3	science and the arts and the vision along with business needs and issues and dreams and comes up
0:51.8	with magical solutions. He's a true business visionary and he'll have you completely captivated,
0:59.6	and it's one of those podcasts, you know those podcasts that you have to have your notebook.
1:03.6	This is one you're going to have to have your notebook. I scribbled about a hundred pages
1:08.8	whilst recording him. I wanted to read the books he's read. I wanted to look at the speeches he had

1:43.2	on the High Street for my kitchen table and since then I've gone on to launch Holly and Co.
1:48.9	I'm the UK ambassador of creative small businesses and I believe that having a business doing what
1:54.6	you love is the key to a happy fulfilled life. My dream is to help everybody start theirs.
2:01.3	I'm here to offer advice, inspiration, wisdom and encouragement and in my view the best way to do
2:08.8	this is by sharing stories. So I've reached out to my favourite small businesses,
2:14.5	entrepreneurs and those who simply inspire me and ask them to share theirs. Here are my conversations
2:22.1	of inspiration. Mark, it's such a pleasure to see you again. I think the last time we met was
2:30.0	at Charlie Gladstone's Good Life Festival and it was a glorious evening and it's a bit of a
