What if the things you were made to feel weird about growing up… were actually your greatest assets?
In this episode, I sit down with Ketan Dattani, an environmental pioneer, social entrepreneur, and someone who’s been living the values of sustainability long before it was a LinkedIn buzzword.
We talk about what shaped him:
➤ Growing up facing racism in 80s Britain
➤ Why his family’s habits around frugality, reuse and resilience were unintended sustainability
➤ And how he turned a quiet passion into a 25+ year career shaping the environmental sector
From rejecting the traditional career route to building a purpose-led business, Ketan shares the pivotal moments, uncomfortable truths, and cultural shifts that helped him carve a new path.
Expect to hear:
• What South Asian families can teach us about sustainable living
• How facing hostility shaped his worldview
• The problem with diversity in the environmental sector
• And how you can turn your early life lessons into long-term impact
This one’s for anyone wondering whether your roots could be the very thing guiding your route forward.
