Join us as we talk to Shehlina Soomro, a hedge fund manager turned entrepreneur and founder of Saritoria, an online marketplace for pre-owned South Asian luxury fashion. The company’s laudable goals include democratizing access to high quality clothing and empowering individuals to participate in the global circular economy.

In our discussion, Shehlina walks us through the challenges and successes of starting her own venture, and reveals how she has built a company that contributes significantly to sustainability goals.

Tune in for today’s exciting episode, where we’ll be hearing the story of ClientEarth, a UK based charity harnessing the power of the law to create systems change. Camilla Fitzgerald, a Philanthropy Manager at ClientEarth, tells us about the work the organisation does and even shares some of her favorite high profile cases. Camilla highlights how ClientEart helps build capacity within local communities globally, informing them of their rights and empowering them to defend against violations. Most importantly, we learn why ClientEarth’s work is meaningful to YOU, the everyday citizen.

Finally, we ask Camilla a great question from a past guest: what’s one small thing you would change about society? Listen in to hear her answer!

In this week’s episode we chat with Natalie Schmitt, an Australian conservation biologist and founder of WildTechDNA, currently based at McMaster University in Canada. WildTechDNA, Natalie’s company, has developed a genetic test to help the scientific community learn more about and quantify rare and elusive animal species, facilitating citizen science around the world and hopefully providing valuable data to inform decisions around conservation.

Natalie tells us about her journey and the career that led her across the world and even recounts her experiences out in the field studying whales and snow leopards while working on her PhD!
