Summary
In this episode, we welcome David Borlace onto the pod. Before embarking on a career as a YouTube presenter, David gained a BSc in Technology from the Open University and spent more than 30 years in retail and project management, working with people from all walks of life.
That experience highlighted the importance of winning hearts and minds in any activity requiring collective action and the value of remaining pragmatic and outcome-oriented. Through his YouTube channel, 'Just Have a Think', David combines those characteristics with a sprinkling of wry humour, addressing the climate emergency facing our civilization and investigating ways we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions as we transition to a more sustainable future.
Recently, David joined Robert as a panelist at Fully Charged Live where many were fascinated by his eloquent yet easy-to-understand approach, get ready for more of the same in this episode.
