Pru Chapman is a business mentor & podcast host, an Australian native with a burning passion for using business as a force for good.
Beginnings.
“Kicking off my career in Psychology with a fascination for human behaviour I took a wild adventure in my late 20’s and landed myself in business development role in London. Having always seen myself as a humanitarian and environmentalist I’d never had any interest in business, and quite frankly wanted nothing to do with commercialism and profit-driven agendas. I only ever wanted to change the world, and very quickly I realised just how powerful business could be as a tool and force for good.
Discovering the power of business to activate local, national and global change I launched Owners Collective, a dedicated community and education hub for early-stage entrepreneurs.
To date we’ve worked with over 15,000 businesses, while helping the people within them find more meaning and fulfilment in the work they do.
Last year it felt as though the right time to have these conversations of connection and impact on a larger scale, and so the One Wild Ride podcast was born. With our climate in crisis and a government slow to act – I knew that business can and will change the world, and in fact, it already is.
Now across our podcast and magazine you’ll find the stories of the people, businesses and movements actioning positive change on our planet right now. These are stories of hope, expansion, and evolution.
I know that this is our chance to have a crack at a better future, and I hope that these stories inspire you into action, to support this movement, and to inspire us each to be everyday agents of change.”

The Story of One Wild Ride
A meeting of activists and entrepreneurs, where good business and great humans drive positive change.
The ‘Why’ is simple:
To use business to inspire and activate positive change.
Born out of the drive to explore a more meaningful life, here we share stories of personal adventures that collide with positive impact and good business.
In an age where we’re felling gripped by climate-change inaction, challenged by modern day consumerism, and nervous about globalization it can be hard to see a positive future. Yet, there is so much being done. From all corners of the globe both individuals and businesses are using their force for good, with powerful results. Pru Chapman decided it was time to showcase these stories, and inspire hope for a better future.
Initially born as a podcast One Wild Ride quickly gained momentum, regularly featuring in the Apple podcast Top Charts Top 10 in both the Business and Society & Culture charts. Listeners drunk up these stories, as One Wild Ride provided a refreshing and uplifting approach and a more positive view of our future.
