In this insightful interview, Rupert Hoogewerf sits down with renowned philanthropist and conservationist Susan Rockefeller to explore the evolving landscape of entrepreneurship and social impact in 2025.

Susan reflects on the idea of patient capital — building ventures rooted in purpose, trust, and long-term thinking rather than short-term gain. Drawing from her work across conservation, wellness, and global collaboration, she speaks to a new generation of founders who see business not only as a vehicle for success, but as a tool for solving real-world challenges. At its core, the conversation is a reminder that lasting impact comes from courage, conviction, and a commitment to work that serves both people and planet.
