Episode 6: Henry Staelens
In this final episode of the first season, Matt sits down with Henry Staelens – recently appointed CEO of British Ice Hockey and former CEO of Forest Green Rovers, named by FIFA as the world’s greenest football club. Henry’s role at the New Lawn was to turn the club’s higher purpose around sustainability and green energy into organisational performance on and off the pitch, which he achieved with distinction. Discussing his key learnings from this experience, Henry also tells the story of an incredible journey that led him from unemployment at 16 to becoming the youngest CEO in the English Football League by the age of 30, and outlines his vision of a golden future for British ice hockey.

Episode 4: Melissa Wilson
Matt sits down with Melissa Wilson, a former Team GB rower and Co-founder of Athletes of the World – a not-for-profit formed to provide education and support for athletes and organisations willing to use their voice as advocates for the planet. Reflecting on her own personal experiences, Melissa makes a compelling connection between the qualities possessed by top level athletes and those required by society to face the climate change challenge: ambition, urgency, camaraderie and having the courage to tackle seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Tapping into the sense of purpose and personal identity that can help athletes navigate the pressures of top-level competition, especially when their sporting ambitions are taken away, Melissa provides a unique perspective on how individuals and organisations can chase wins outside of their boat, and inspire the only kind of success that really matters.
