Our guest this episode is Tom Gribbin, Co-Founder and CEO of Planet Super League.

He co-founded Planet Super League to combine three psychological drivers he was well-versed in: a passion for football, the digital space and influencing environmentally-friendly lifestyle changes.

Consistently taking positive climate action can be challenging, Planet Super League has been successful in capturing football fans passion for their team and competition to make change.

During the episode we discuss Tom’s early life and school sport experience, his career in sustainability and his first start up children’s activity tracking company Boost.

We also dig into the role that sport plays in Tom’s wellbeing and how it helps to balance the stresses of being a start up CEO.

That’s the power that sport has on us. It brings us together.
