Rob Dunn is the author of ‘The Call of the Honeyguide’, ecologist, evolutionary biologist, and professor at NC State. He joins the show to explore a powerful question: what if the answers to our biggest strategic challenges are hiding in nature? The conversation looks at why traditional business frameworks often fall short in a world shaped by systems and interdependence, and how leaders can borrow ideas from nature, like diversity, adaptability, and cooperation, to navigate change more effectively.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why nature matters for business strategy
• Digital vs. physical and the growing disconnect
• Mutualism in action: dogs, crops and overlooked systems
• How low biodiversity shapes what we eat
• Balancing policy, profit and personal responsibility
• Nature as a source of resilience and innovation
