Hannah Cox is running 100 marathons in 100 days across India to raise £1m for climate-affected people through 1% for the planet in a mission called Project Salt Run. She’s also the founder of the Better Business Network (BBN) which is a nationwide network for purpose-driven businesses.
We get into why materiality, not moral purity, drives real impact (Hannah shares how a materiality assessment can help your business to have actual impact. Hannah shares the BBN playbook for building inclusive, non-judgmental communities, the “easy, accessible, cool” framework that nudges behavior change at festivals (like the reusable cup token scheme), and why collaboration and asking for help beat lone-wolf heroics. We talk money as fuel not destination, travel and privilege, skepticism of vague net-zero pledges, and why “movement is a message”—plus how to pick your own Project Salt Run and trust your gut when the stakes feel scary.
