Profitable solutions for the planet, with Dr. Bertrand Piccard

Profitable solutions for the planet, with Dr. Bertrand Piccard. Is my guest on Episode 110 of Inside Ideas. My guest today is a living legend in making historic round-the-world trips that have come to redefine what is possible for humanity. Serial explorer and ambassador for clean technologies, Dr. Bertrand Piccard has done it all and is probably planning to do it all again, in ways that continue to shift paradigms and unveil the new futures that are available to us today.  When Bertrand took the controls of the Breitling Orbiter in 1999 with his teammate Brian Jones, he went on to complete the first non-stop around-the-world balloon flight. While in 2016 he successfully piloted the first ever round-the-world solar powered flight, and took turns with André Borschberg, in the now iconic Solar Impulse plane.  More recently, the United Nations Goodwill Ambassador for the Environment, Special Advisor to the European Commission, and Founder and Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation has been on another trip around the world. This time in pursuit of 1000 innovative solutions that can ‘protect the environment in a profitable way’.
