What does kindness have to do with food wholesaling?

Everything.

In this month’s episode of Kinder Conversations, Tim Keogh sits down with Paul Hargreaves, CEO of Cotswold Fayre, early UK B-Corp pioneer, and author of The Fourth Bottom Line.

Paul’s story is extraordinary. From starting out with products in the back of his car to building a purpose-driven business that puts people and planet first, his career shows how being kind in business can be a strategic advantage.

Listen now and rethink what your leadership could look like...

🎙️ What does kind leadership really look like in practice?

In this powerful episode, Tim Keogh sits down with Professor Cath Crock, Paediatrician, Founder of the Hush Foundation and a true pioneer in patient-centred healthcare.

👏 Together, they explore why healthcare systems can’t deliver compassionate care when their people are burnt out, silenced unseen.

Cath shares transformational stories that every HR leader, clinician and team builder should hear from embedding music and theatre into hospital culture to creating safer, calmer environments for children undergoing chemotherapy.

Key takeaways:

• How to shift team dynamics in high-pressure environments
• Why junior voices can go unheard and what that costs us
• How to create space for staff to speak up without fear
• Why judgement poisons culture and how empathy rewires it
• What sensory-safe kind care really looks like in action
