In this episode, Patrick is joined by Jenny Lincoln. Jenny is described as a unicorn of speakers who could chat about paint drying, and you’d suddenly want to renovate your house. She’s vulnerable yet tough, charming but no-nonsense, and has a knack for nudging people into action. In their conversation, they discuss her transition from climbing the corporate ladder to becoming a nomadic speaker and how, along the way, she learned to embrace the messiness of being human.

Patrick joins David Mendelson, CEO of Donco to discuss the secrets behind Donco's unique and thriving culture, where engaged employees and loyal customers come together to make a sustainable impact on our planet. From innovative green solutions in manufacturing to pioneering recycling avenues like turning gummy bears into bear bait, David sheds light on how he's leading the charge in waste reduction, creating new markets for secondary raw materials, and assembling a global think tank of recycling maestros. This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about leadership, sustainability, and building cultures of excellence.
