If we truly want to shape culture, build movements, and inspire action toward a regenerative future – we have to start with what we love. This is the guiding insight from our guest, Eric Levine, co-founder of Count Us In, the organization using the power of popular culture and sport to inspire action on climate and nature.

On the eve of COP 30 in Brazil, and with the World Cup in North America coming up in 2026, Eric shares with Raphael how their Earth FC campaign is changing the game of sustainable marketing and engagement.

Whether your work is in sports, music, art, or food – Eric shares lessons from literally being in the arena to help us turn passion into action.

• The importance of a positive vision for the future if you want to engage the “movable middle”
• How to tap into existing fan groups to unite audiences and drive systemic change
• Practical lessons from Green Football Weekend in the UK and Earth FC
