Welcome to the Where Does It Come From? Podcast, hosted by Jo Salter, founder of Where Does It Come From? – a social enterprise dedicated to kind clothes that tell tales. Where Does It Come From? believes in the power of transparency and ethical sourcing, ensuring that every garment has a unique story behind it, connecting consumers with the people and processes involved in its creation.
In this episode, Jo sits down with Mike Keen, an adventurous chef, kayaker, and explorer, who is currently embarking on an extraordinary journey. Mike's mission? Kayaking an astounding 3000km from the southern to the northern tip of Greenland, all in the name of raising awareness about climate change.
But Mike's journey goes beyond the physical challenge. He is actively participating in scientific experiments that involve collecting marine animal feces to study microplastics. Additionally, he's exploring the impact of a traditional Greenlandic diet on his own gut health. Along the way, Mike is supporting two charities through generous donations.
This episode delves into the motivations behind Mike's daring expedition, the challenges he faces, and the important discoveries he has made so far. From the breathtaking landscapes of Greenland to the urgent need for action on climate change, Jo and Mike engage in a thought-provoking conversation that inspires listeners to reflect on the state of our planet.
Furthermore, Mike is generously sponsored by a range of organizations, and he expresses his gratitude for their support. He also extends an invitation to adventure companies to consider joining as a key sponsor, furthering the impact of his journey.
Join Jo Salter, founder of Where Does It Come From?, and Mike Keen on this remarkable episode of the Where Does It Come From? Podcast, as they shed light on climate change, microplastics, gut health, and the power of adventure in making a difference.
