Summary

In Episode #64, I sat down with Kieran De Visser, founder of the not-for-profit organisation Endurothon Oz, which aims to stop plastic pollution at its source. Kieran will be cycling, kayaking, and running 25,000 km across Australia to raise awareness for this campaign and raise $1 million to clean our oceans. What a goal that is! What I find really interesting about Kieran’s story is not only his desire to help the planet, but the fact that the source of his inspiration came from a time in his life where he could have easily put his own best interests first. Listen to the episode to find out about Kieran’s backstory, how he became inspired to raise awareness about plastic pollution, and a whole lot more. I love celebrating stories of young people doing inspirational things to help better our home – and that’s what this episode is all about. Enjoy, friends. Simon Want to support the show?

possible. One morning, we woke up and we were walking along the beach and it was just

clustered with plastic. It was absolutely freeway. And there was an elderly couple that were

0:50.3

walking along the beach. The elderly couple sort of waved over to us and we walked over

and started chatting to them, shocked by what we saw. We sort of decided to grab a bag

and help them clean the rest of the beach. And this was my first interaction with plastic.

I started saying how dangerous it is for our oceans, the true effects that actually has

we want to run beach cleaning events, community cleaning events. We want the whole of Australia
