Welcome back to Stories for the Future! After a rejuvenating summer break, I'm launching the new season with a guest who embodies everything this podcast is about: purpose, impact, and bold reinvention.
Meet Oliver Dauert, founder of Wildya, a venture helping ecopreneurs transform their love for nature into scalable, regenerative impact. Oliver’s journey took him from childhood fascination with nature to eco-anxiety and corporate disillusionment – and ultimately to building one of the most forward-thinking nature-first platforms out there.
In this conversation, we explore:
🌿 Oliver’s personal transformation from a business student in a broken system to an “impact millionaire” in the making
💡 Why business schools fail to prepare leaders for a nature-positive future
🔥 The real traits that set successful ecopreneurs apart (hint: pragmatism beats perfection)
💰 Why money isn’t evil – and how it becomes a tool for regeneration
💔 The emotional toll of working in the climate and biodiversity space – and how Oliver channels grief into motivation
🐾 What it really takes to scale nature impact in a capitalistic world
Whether you're an ecopreneur, solopreneur, or just someone dreaming of a wilder, better world – this episode is for you.
