Et si le pouvoir de transformer notre système alimentaire se trouvait… dans notre caddie ?

Dans cet épisode du Positive Leadership Podcast, je reçois Nicolas Chabanne, fondateur de C’est qui le Patron ?!, la "marque du consommateur" qui a redonné du pouvoir à des millions de citoyens pour mieux rémunérer les producteurs.

Avec honnêteté et conviction, Nicolas revient sur son parcours atypique, son engagement en faveur d’une consommation solidaire, et sa volonté de faire de l’agriculture une grande cause nationale. Ensemble, nous abordons :

• Comment les consommateurs peuvent soutenir les agriculteurs en orientant leurs choix d’achat,
• Pourquoi il a cédé toutes ses actions à une fondation pour préserver l’indépendance du projet,
• Le sens du leadership collectif et les défis d’une économie plus juste.

Une conversation qui réconcilie valeurs, action concrète et espoir.

In this episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Fabio Barbosa, one of Brazil’s most respected business leaders and a true pioneer in purpose-driven leadership.

From transforming Banco Real into a sustainability leader to his work at Natura &Co—one of the world’s largest B Corps—Fabio has consistently shown that it’s not only possible but essential to align profit with positive impact.

We talked about his deep-rooted belief that business must serve society, his vision for regeneration in the Amazon, and the power of diversity in improving decision-making.

🎧 In this conversation, we cover:

• The early experiences that shaped Fabio’s leadership values
• How he brought social and environmental priorities into the heart of banking
• Natura’s bold commitment to forest preservation and community empowerment in the Amazon
• What it means to be a B Corp at scale—and how it changes the way you lead
• Why diversity drives better business decisions
• And his message for the next generation of positive leaders

I left this conversation full of energy and inspiration—and I’m sure you will too.
