In this conversation, Mark Shayler speaks with Noah Venn about the concept of hope, its significance in personal growth, and its role in social change.

Noah shares his journey of taking over Edible Bristol and how hope has shaped his life, especially in the context of his identity and the challenges faced by the trans community. They discuss the importance of collective hope in driving social movements and the practices that can help individuals foster hope in their own lives, emphasising kindness, community engagement, and connection to nature.

Noah and Mark explore the themes of self-care, hope, and community. They discuss the importance of being kind to oneself, the role of hope as a form of resistance against challenges, and how nature reflects cycles of hope. They also delve into how to inspire hope in others and the relationship between hope and action, concluding with personal reflections on what gives them hope for the future.
