Moral Footprint
with Jeni Miles

Host Jeni Miles speaks with ecological economist Dr Jennifer Hinton, whose post-growth business framework identifies the for-profit structure itself — not individual bad actors — as the root cause of inequality and ecological breakdown. They explore why swapping the CEO changes nothing, how not-for-profit business stops the wealth siphon before it begins, and what Patagonia's ownership revolution reveals about what genuinely transformative business could look like next.

Host Jeni Miles returns from the World Beautiful Business Forum in Athens,where she launched her first physical research installation, to share what she found. Drawing on original research surveying over 400 business managers, she explores why corporate silence around systemic change is structurally guaranteed, introduces Jennifer Hinton's five post-growth business dimensions, and asks whether businesses are structurally in solidarity with their stakeholders — or inadvertently silencing them.

Host Jeni Miles speaks with Alice Kalro, founder of arkH3 and lead author of "Leading Through the Polycollapse," about why traditional business strategies fail during systemic breakdown. Kalro introduces frameworks for systemic foresight, explains how multiple systems face simultaneous collapse, and argues that conventional sustainability approaches are "fairy tales" disconnected from reality. Her insights reveal how businesses must transform beyond incremental metrics toward essential needs provision.

Post-growth economist Donnie Maclurcan joins host Jeni Miles to explore why systems transformation requires moving from thinking to feeling. From not-for-profit business models to the circulation of money and power, Donnie reveals how embodied wisdom might be our most revolutionary tool against extractive capitalism and why slowing down in urgent times could be the key to creating regenerative systems.

Host Jeni Miles speaks with Joy Njeri, a systems change facilitator in Kenya, about breaking dependency cycles in African business development. They explore how indigenous wisdom and community-centred approaches create sustainable models that avoid perpetuating colonial patterns. Njeri highlights the problems with foreign funding dependencies, explains how to leverage traditional community assets, and advocates for redefining success beyond Western metrics. Discover how business can reconnect with living systems and community wellbeing.

In this uncompromising conversation, host Jeni Miles speaks with Siobhan Strode, advocacy consultant and founder of This Sister Speaks, about how our electoral system has been captured by corporate interests and what we can do about it.
