Future Planet Podcast
We are on an adventure to unite the stories and solutions of the pioneers, creating a better future for all. Together, we will journey to every continent, every country, and every community. And ask the question, what is the future you dream of?
We will explore the blockers to us getting there, and we'll ask: What will it take, what do we need, what do you need to create a future where we all thrive in balance and harmony with nature and each other?
Join the FuturePlanet community of action (www.futureplanet.love) to connect with fellow changemakers in creating a future we can all love.

Future Planet Podcast
07. Giving nature a voice at the heart of business - Simeon Rose & Anne Hopkins, Faith in Nature & Co-creators of Nature on the Board
In this episode, we welcome Simeon and Anne from Dream Quickly. What a dream team! I had so much fun with these two beautiful humans, exploring how they co-created a project to put nature on the board at Faith in Nature, and then created a toolkit so you can do the same.
Together we will explore:
- How Anne’s love of nature was a seed that grew
- How to give Nature a voice in decision making
- The process they went through in including the voice of Nature on the board
- Some of the challenges that they encountered and how they overcame them
- How your organisation can contribute to a global shift in placing Nature at the heart of everything

Who is Anne Hopkins
Anne is the brilliant co-creator and the heart behind Nature on the Board. She pours her heart into her role as the Creative Director at Faith in Nature, letting nature guide her vision and work in branding and messaging.
With a decade in the creative industry, Anne leads Dream Quickly as its Creative Director to elevate brand creativity. Anne's freelance journey includes collaborating with renowned agencies like Wieden + Kennedy, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, and BBH London, among others.
Who is Simeon Rose
Simeon co-created Nature on the Board and leads as Brand Director at Faith In Nature. Since joining Faith In Nature in 2017, he's been reimagining what green companies think and do in our times.
In 2021, Faith In Nature named Nature as a director. This gave our planet both a voice and a vote in their organisation. Their journey is all shared openly on the Faith in Nature website (link above), inspiring others to do the same.
He calls West Wales home, living alongside his creative partner, Anne Hopkins, and their dog, Sonic. Living close to nature, they're reminded every day of the beauty of the world around them. And why they do what they do.
