The Bold Company Podcast, hosted by Business Canterbury’s Hannah Weeds and Vaughan Fleming, offers a compelling glimpse into the dynamic world of Canterbury’s business community. In each episode, they sit down with visionaries driving innovation, resilience, and success in the region.

Our ninth episode features the inspiring Mister G (Galeno Chua), Founding Principal of The Idea Consultants and all-round good human who shares valuable insights on making the world better while running a successful business.

Through empathy and practical strategies, Mr G helps businesses innovate while reducing their environmental impact. We discuss what sparked Mr G’s passion for sustainability and he shares some actionable steps that can be implemented quickly and cost-effectively for businesses looking to start their sustainability journey. He also shares how his methods have helped some local organisations achieve some pretty impressive results.

In addition we talk about Mr G’s interest in start-ups, with his work including coaching for Google’s AI and impact accelerators in Europe and working with the United Nations Development Programme in the Mekong region – as well as his involvement in Christchurch’s own startup community.
