In this episode, we sit down with Geoff Cousins, a businessman-turned-environmental activist who has led major campaigns to protect Australia’s natural landscapes. From teaching teenagers at 19 to working in the corporate world, Geoff shares what ignited his passion for conservation and how he made the leap from business leader to activist. 

We talk about the challenges of bridging the gap between corporate and environmental sectors, his fight to establish the Great Koala National Park, and what it takes to stay resilient in the face of big challenges.
