Conversations from #LIFI25: Stephen Whitehead
As we count down to the festival, we’re sitting down with some of this year’s brilliant speakers for a special series of conversations. These short interviews offer a glimpse into the ideas, experiences and provocations they’ll be bringing to the festival stage.
From thought leaders and creators to activists and innovators, each chat dives into what drives them, why their work matters, and what audiences can expect when they join us this September.
The first in our series features Stephen Whitehead, who shares his perspective on “Where have all the good men gone?
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be releasing more interviews, giving you a front-row seat to the minds shaping this year’s festival. Keep an eye on the Journal and our YouTube channel as we reveal more conversations in the run-up to #LIFI25.
