  • Paul Shapiro on Ethical Capitalism and the Business of Doing Good
    Mar 1 2026

    Join us for a fascinating conversation with Paul Shapiro, CEO and co-founder of The Better Meat Co. Paul is a visionary leader at the forefront of sustainable food innovation, leveraging fermentation and cellular agriculture to create protein-rich, eco-friendly meat alternatives. With a career spanning animal advocacy, bestselling authorship, and entrepreneurship, Paul's mission is to transform our food system into one that is more humane, efficient, and sustainable.

    In this episode, Paul shares his journey from founding his first animal advocacy group in high school to pioneering next-generation proteins with a team of scientists and chefs. He discusses the "second domestication"—shifting from raising animals to cultivating cells—and the potential of mycoprotein and fermentation-based proteins to revolutionize how we feed the world. Paul's insights shed light on the challenges of scaling new food technologies, the importance of ethical entrepreneurship, and the power of aligning profit with purpose.

    What I love most about conversations like this is that they challenge our assumptions — not just about food, but about progress itself. Paul Shapiro reminds us that change doesn't always come from confrontation. Sometimes it comes from creation — from building something so compelling that the world begins to rotate toward it almost inevitably.

    Discover how Paul is maximizing human potential by reimagining the future of food. His story is a testament to the impact of innovation, resilience, and values-driven leadership in creating a more sustainable and compassionate world. Tune-in and explore what it means to live—and eat—with purpose.

  • The Unstoppable Missions of Noëlle Demole – From Battling Injustice to Setting World Records
    Jan 1 2026

    From Swiss Banking to Indian Orphanages—One Woman's Relentless Pursuit of Justice. What does it take to dismantle systems of injustice while building hope—one child, one case, one project at a time? Meet Noëlle Demole, born in Geneva, a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree who juggles fighting white-collar crime at Julius Baer Bank, running a groundbreaking NGO for India's most vulnerable youth, and pursuing a PhD in criminology at Cambridge. Her secret? Relentless planning, radical self-organization, and a vision that ties every facet of her life together.

    Noëlle's journey began at 18, when a single month volunteering in an Indian orphanage gave her life new meaning and ignited her mission to uplift children cast aside by society. That spark grew into Shere Khan Youth Protection—an NGO now supporting over 500 young people to break cycles of poverty and crime through education. But Noëlle didn't stop there. She's also tackling period poverty with her start-up Egidays, producing eye-opening documentaries, and speaking on global stages from TEDx to the Forbes Money Summit.

    How does she keep all the plates spinning? And what drives her to tackle some of the world's most urgent humanitarian and financial challenges—often at the same time? Tune in for an exclusive conversation where Noëlle reveals her strategies for managing multiple lives in one, her insight on the interconnectedness of social impact and compliance, and her advice for anyone daring to live their purpose at full throttle.

    Don't miss this episode of "Living a Life in Full"—where purpose meets action, and one woman's story just might inspire your own.
