“The world’s fractured, it’s tense and I feel the anxiety.” TP
When we think about what drives human behaviour, Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs reminds us that everything begins with the basics, food, water, and safety.
Only when those are met can we move toward love, belonging, self-esteem, and ultimately, self-actualisation.
Yet across the world today, those foundational needs are increasingly under threat.
Communities are anxious. Societies are divided, and as parents, our deepest fear isn’t for ourselves, it’s for the future of our children, and theirs.
This week I sit down with Terry Paule, Founder & CEO of Botanical Water Technologies, whose mission is to grow water for communities in need.
From his role as an Aquapreneur at the World Economic Forum to his legacy as a father and grandfather, Terry is driven by compassion, community, and the belief that security begins with the basics.
Terry’s work turns wasted water into safe, drinkable sources giving children the chance to learn, grow, and dream instead of walking kilometres every day to fetch water. We talk about community, compassion, and why our sense of safety and security must extend beyond borders.
