Episode highlights:

“I definitely think serendipity is a huge career influence. Just taking my own experience into account, anytime I've tried to come up with a 3-5 year plan, those things never go according to plan.” - 10:00 - Eoin Murray

“I think our current economic system doesn't really properly allow for nature to be taken into account. Nature will carry on regardless, but it's not entirely clear to me that on our current path, the human race would continue on regardless.” - 22:10 - Eoin Murray

“Success for me these days is a lot more about creating opportunities for those that are typically younger, smarter, more able to enact change than I will ever be.” - 35:20 - Eoin Murray

“One of the biggest mistakes that we made with the whole sustainable investing movement was to give it the three letter acronym, ESG.” - 42:55 - Eoin Murray

“I'm an eternal optimist, so actually, I do think that there's a world that we can create which keeps many of the wonderful advances and benefits that we've enjoyed over the last couple of centuries, but also readdresses the balance between humans and the planet as a whole.” - 50:55 - Eoin Murray
