This week, The Do One Better Podcast marks a remarkable milestone: 350 consecutive episodes since its launch in early 2019.

In this special solo edition, host Alberto Lidji reflects on the joy of creating a weekly show that brings together voices from across philanthropy, sustainability and social entrepreneurship, and on what it means to have listeners tuning in from every corner of the world.

Alberto shares why producing the podcast remains such a deeply rewarding experience:

• The excitement of conversation and how open, curious dialogue often leads to unexpected insights.

• The fulfilment of sharing personal learnings from hundreds of interviews and applying them to help others make a difference.

• The privilege of informing, enthusing and encouraging a truly global audience to take action and improve the world around them.

• The satisfaction of building a community that values thoughtful exchange and real-world impact.

He also reflects on the craft behind the show, from preparation and production to the care that goes into every episode, and the sense of meaning that comes from connecting with so many people who share a passion for positive change.

This milestone episode is a warm and thoughtful celebration of curiosity, purpose and connection, and a heartfelt thank-you to the guests and listeners around the world who have made the journey possible.

Kate Williams, Chief Executive Officer of 1% for the Planet, joins the conversation to share how a simple idea—businesses and individuals committing 1% of annual revenues to environmental causes—has evolved into a powerful global movement.

Founded by Yvon Chouinard (Patagonia) and Craig Matthews, 1% for the Planet has inspired thousands of companies across more than 100 countries to give back to the planet. With over $820 million certified in lifetime giving, the organization is on track to reach its first billion in donations.

Kate explains how the model works: from certifying members’ contributions to connecting them with vetted environmental partners across four key impact areas—Just Economies, Resilient Communities, Rights to Nature, and Conservation & Restoration. She discusses the philosophy behind giving from revenues, not profits, why that matters for lasting impact, and how companies of all sizes can integrate sustainability into their core operations.

Listeners will hear about:

• How 1% for the Planet certifies and supports its global network of businesses and nonprofits
• The creative ways companies balance purpose and profit, including in-kind and volunteer contributions
• Why strong branding and credible certification are essential to scaling environmental change
• Lessons in building community, trust, and momentum across thousands of members and partners
