Exploring the power of story and potential of humanity with Merlin Bola

In order to create the future, we first need to be able to imagine it.

Today, on this last episode of the season, I'm joined by Merlin Bola, an enthusiast in ecology, psychology and storytelling. Merlin's journey began with a deep interest in environmental studies, leading him to some really big questions about life and humanity.

Merlin advocates for the use of imagination as a tool to envision future possibilities, emphasizing the role of storytelling in bringing these concepts to life. His current focus is on integrating these ideas to support initiatives aimed at environmental regeneration. He believes in the power of storytelling to effectively communicate complex environmental challenges and solutions.

This is one of the most philosophical conversations I've had on this podcast, but Merlin also manages make complex ideas easy to understand so that we can make it easier for people to rally around causes that matter.

Veslemøy Klavenes-Berge

Geophysicist by formal education, with a background within mobile satellite communication and the oil and gas industry. I did a 180 degree pivot in my career in 2016 and have since then focused all my energy and time to explore how we can have the optimal combination of the three pillars;
a good life - an interesting job - a healthy planet.
I have a strong sense of urgency when it comes to the huge challenges we are facing in the years to come, especially when it comes to climate change, but I strongly believe in the potential in people to step up and do the work when it is really needed.
That time is now.
