Boyan Slat: Cleaning the Ocean of Plastic – Episode 18
02/21/20 • 28 min
How to rid the oceans of plastic? Boyan Slat strives for the solution! He's the founder and CEO of "The Ocean Cleanup" – aiming to clean up 90% of ocean plastic pollution. At the age of 25, he leads a company with about 100 employees.
I am really impressed by Boyan's story, his leadership and for tackling one of our major environmental issues, which many say is unsolvable.
We met in Davos at the World Economic Forum. In my podcast Boyan shared his passion for environmental engineering and his solution on how to solve our environmental issues and the ocean plastic pollution. Their beta version recently proved successful in the great pacific garbage patch. The mission was completed and first plastic has arrived on shore. The Ocean Cleanup also aims to solve the cause of the problem – that's why "The Interceptor" was developed catching plastic pollution in rivers across the world. In September 2020 they will launch the first product made out of the collected plastic – check it out here: https://bit.ly/2OeHjsk

Ross Edgley: The World’s Fittest Man – Episode 17
Ross Edgley swam 1,791 miles around the UK spending 157 days at sea – this is incredible!
This podcast episode was so fun, Ross is not only an amazing sportsman but also a great entertainer ;-) Of course we spoke about his incredible performance being the first person to swim around Great Britain. He explained where he gets his motivation from, the challenges and hardest moments on the open sea and also some funny moments out there. He made some new friends – spoiler: it wasn’t jellyfish ;-) Inspiring to meet an athlete from a completely different field and find out what he believes top athletes are made of.
