Visionary Interviews with Visionary Voices
'Visionary Voices' interviews people who have taken the leap in life to make a difference in the world.
In our first interview with Bart van der Vliet, Trustee of Street Child of Sierra Leone, he says: "I believe we can solve the problem of steet children in Sierra Leone, to perhaps 20% of the current numbers. When you say that to a professional charity worker, they laugh in your face and say you'll never do that, that's impossible, grow up, be realistic. I don't want to be realistic. I want to dream that that is possible. I know it's possible and we have a plan to get there through a self-funding organisation." You can listen to the audio recording and/or read the highlights of the interview at Bart van der Vliet.

In our third interview with Ellie Frost, we talked about a new kind of business in the world today, one that's contributing socially while being profitable, good for people and good for the planet. Ellie says: "The key to creating an innovative culture is a fluid culture, because creativity needs fluidity. ... Being pressured to come up with new ideas just kills the innovative spirit. ... Most of the innovative secrets and magic of a company will come from inside the company. It needs a fluid interaction within the organisation to ensure creative fluidity. ... It needs to feel like a free space and doesn't necessarily need to have an agenda . ... Everybody wants to be part of and aligned with the purpose behind the company."
