Featured Hot Takes

The process is more important than the outcome. Trust the process. We hear these sayings all the time. But are they accurate? We asked two leaders with very different perspectives to share their process – their story.  

Hal Kvisle is a Canadian business icon who has helped lead numerous corporations, including a run as CEO of what is now known as TC Energy.

Harvey Locke is a globally recognized leader on biodiversity, having founded the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative and the Nature Needs Half movement.

We’re featuring these podcasts across all five Nature Labs subjects. You might not like art, or science, or English, or social studies, but they are all related and by listening to this podcast, hopefully you’ll better understand why.
