Featuring a new 12-minute video from Philip Wollen
Philip Wollen, an enlightened former top corporate executive on a mission
Not familiar with him? A former top Australian business executive, he now describes himself as a humanitarian philanthropist–dedicating the rest of his life to ending the despicable acts of our species when it comes to all other living things. A few excerpts from his Wikipedia page:
Philip Wollen OAM (born 1950) is an Australian philanthropist. He is a former Vice-President of Citibank and was also General Manager at Citicorp. At age 34, Australian Business Magazine named him in the top 40 headhunted executives in Australia.[2] In 2005 he received the Medal of the Order of Australia [3] and in 2007 he won the Australian of the Year (Victoria) award.[3][4] In 2012 he was made an Honorary Fellow of the Oxford Centre of Animal Ethics, UK. In 2014 he received the University of Adelaide Distinguished Alumni Award Wollen went to school at the Bishop Cotton Boys’ School, Bangalore. He lives with his wife Trix and his four dogs in Melbourne, Victoria.
In short, this is the kind of inspired leadership we so desperately need. After rising to the top of the corporate world, he became enlightened about the ecological horrors associated with how we humans choose to feed ourselves. And, like me, he has concluded that it will take powerful leadership to get us back on the right track. Yesterday, after reading my blog about his fellow former business tycoon, Bill Gates, he weighed in with this comment:
Well said, Jim. . . . . If we could only get 5 people in a room and enlighten them to the truth of the animal industrial complex, this world would be on a fast track to sanity . . . . . Xi Jinping, Rupert Murdoch, Pope Francis, Bill Gates and Narendra Modi. (Of course, I could think of other attendees – but this is a fair start).
I like Philip’s list of five and am actively working toward reaching those kinds of powerful leaders. Currently, I am preparing myself for an upcoming meeting that a colleague and I will soon be having with a very prominent and highly respected leader outside the USA. No he’s not the pope, but he could probably figure out a way to get us a hearing with him.
We believe that this particular man has the requisite combination of integrity, conviction, courage, resources, leadership skills and popularity–to organize and lead a global coalition aimed at urgently promoting the health of our ecosystem that gives us life. If that meeting is a success, you will hear all about it. Maybe he’ll even be able to get us that meeting with the Pope.
Now, sit back and take a listen to my friend, Philip Wollen, a powerful voice of enlightened leadership. As he states above, with a few more enlightened leaders, we might be able to get ourselves on a fast track to sanity.
One more thing, I have gotten to know Philip through our mutual “enlightenment” regarding the unconscionable horrors and gross unsustainability of our food choices in the 21st century. And I am truly honored that he chose to provide this endorsement for our upcoming book, the “4Leaf Guide to Vibrant Health, Using the Power of Food to Heal Ourselves and Our Planet.”
“The thesis of this book is simple—and it provides solid, fact-based reasons for its conclusion: It is imperative for humans to get off the meat, egg and dairy drug. For me, these reasons also alluded to the petals of the four leaf clover: faith, hope, love and luck. Lucky people will find this book–ethical and wise people will take its message seriously.”–Philip Wollen, Humanitarian Philanthropist, Former General Manager of Citicorp in Australia
