Not The Biggest Tree — What The Amazon Taught Me About Business | Clare Bradley | Tedxwaihī Beach
Clare Bradley spent nearly two years in the Amazon rainforest — no power, no running water, an hour's flight from the nearest town — and came home questioning everything business had taught her about success. The jungle that survives, she learned, isn't the one with the biggest trees, but the one where everything is connected and knowledge is shared freely. Her challenge to us: the future isn't survival of the strongest — it's survival of the most connected. Clare Bradley is the CEO of AgriSea NZ Seaweed Ltd , a Māori-owned seaweed company creating regenerative solutions for farmers, growers and coastal communities.
At 20, Clare lived deep in the Amazon Rainforest working alongside an indigenous community to build enterprises that protected their forest, an experience that shaped her belief that real change must be community-led.?
Today, she works at the intersection of science, indigenous knowledge, and business to build a thriving seaweed sector in Aotearoa. As Founding Chair of the Aotearoa New Zealand Seaweed Association and founder of Rere ki Uta, Rere ki Tai, Clare is helping reshape how we think about soil, water, food and the blue economy.
She believes the essence of a changing world is not disruption, it is reconnection. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
