Uncommon Courage
Welcome to Uncommon Courage, the podcast, where we’ll be having the conversations we need to be having as members of the human collective. We are all being called upon to step up and lead – with kindness, big hearts and unshakable courage – because right now, we have an opportunity to redress what we got wrong in the past, as well as deal with the disruptions we face today, to create a better world for all.
However, if we are completely truthful, the biggest challenge we face is believing we can do it – believing in our ability to create massive change. But everyone knows you can’t achieve anything significant without guts, determination, and of course, the courage to keep driving towards the goal, regardless of how hard the journey is!
Uncommon Courage will feature global conversations determined to contribute to creating a better future for all life on earth. Ideas, solutions, arguments and laughs - it’ll all be part of the journey. It is time for that which is uncommon to become common.

The Sh*t Show: would you leave home for 11 years to save the planet?
Would you give up your work and daily connection with loved ones to raise awareness for the health of our planet? Our very special guest has done just that, living and travelling in a solar-powered bus since November 2020, embarking on an 11-year Energy Swaraj Yatra, journeying across India until 2030. He has pledged not to return home during this entire period, devoting every single day to the cause of climate correction. The Yatra is inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s principles, and it is both a living laboratory and a mass outreach platform. Now in its fifth year, he has covered 70,000 km, delivered over 1,650+ talks, and helped more than two million people become energy literate. Wow huh?
After that inspiring story of action, we’ll dig into the news. We are going to discuss the peace deal in Gaza and how we’ve all responded to it, make sense of the global economy as a lot of volatility is shaking the markets for multiple reasons, and we’re going to discuss the first official environmental tipping point – coral collapse - as well as what it means, along with the latest in AI – the good, the bad, and the ugly. Of course, between now and then, more news will break in our crazy world, and we’ll make sure it’s covered too.
We are thrilled to welcome our bus driving action hero, Prof. Chetan Singh Solanki. He is a climate action leader, innovator, and educator, who has dedicated his life to tackling the climate crisis through lifestyle change and energy independence. He recently resigned from IIT Bombay to focus 100% on tackling the climate emergency and is relentless in his drive to spark a transformation in people’s minds toward climate action and sustainability, with a commitment to helping us all embrace mindful consumption and energy independence. He’s recently launched Finite Earth Movement (FEM) with a vision to transform finite living into a global mass movement, and his goal is to mobilize one billion people worldwide for climate action by 2027. FEM is rooted in a simple truth: on a finite planet, consumption itself must be finite.
So do join us, this is definitely going to be inspiring and get caught up on the news while you’re at it, this Friday 17th October 2025, 8am UK, 9am EU, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 5pm AEST. Streaming across various locations, and no doubt about it, we’d love your support.
The Sh*t Show is a Livestream happening every Friday, where Andrea T Edwards, Dr. David Ko, Richard Busellato and Joe Augustin, as well as special guests, discuss the world’s most pressing issues across all angles of the polycrisis, working to make sense of the extremely challenging and complex times we are all going through, plus what we can do about it. Help us move the needle so we can change the name of the show to something more genteel when (or if) it is no longer a sh*t show.
