Is there light at the end of the tunnel?

We’re all looking for a little hope at the moment. Since we launched The Green Room two years ago, we’ve seen the world around us change in so many ways.

We wanted to take a moment to pause and reflect on some of the incredible conversations we’ve been lucky enough to take part in. As we look back over the 29 episodes we’ve recorded, we realised that there are so many reasons to be hopeful and excited about the future. That those glimmers of light have been there all along, even when they’ve felt hard to see.

Innovative new technologies are helping to repair our oceans. Inspiring role models are talking openly about their struggles with mental health, helping to make things better for the next generation of leaders. Working parents are learning to find a new balance, to put their families first.

Kids are learning to code. Brands are learning to put purpose first. We’re finally making real progress in tackling systemic racism in business and society. Our cities are getting smarter. We’re listening to young people and setting the stage for their success.

We’re building a world we can be proud to be a part of.

We’ve spent over 19 hours chatting to 50 different guests, from CEOs to apprentices to activists. We’ve answered icebreakers about our favourite ice cream, our dream holidays and our happiest memories. We’ve started our very own blog and won a few awards too. And we’ve had a lot of laughs along the way.

So this week, we’re looking back on all the reasons we’ve learnt to be hopeful over the last two years. Our three hosts will take you through the best of The Green Room so far, as they tackle this week’s big question: is there light at the end of the tunnel?
