  • Nice but very high-level/general perspective

    I’m a sustainability professional and although I really like the topics of this podcast, I think the conversations are very hard to get something concrete out of, as the complexity is so high that they often end up having very general discussions. I wish they would take point of departure in something concrete to exemplify the complex. And please do a wrap up in the end😊
