Welcome to Episode Zero of Moved.
This short intro explains why the podcast exists, why the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) inspired it and what you can expect in the conversations ahead.
Through his career, host Gary Watts has worked across industries and sectors, but always felt most alive when there was a mission at play. In 2025 he founded Obstackl, a consultancy and coaching company focused on impact. The idea: build around people and organisations tackling the world’s biggest challenges.
The UN’s Global Goals, adopted at the Sustainable Development Summit in New York in September 2015, remain the world’s best plan for progress. Ten years on, they’re still inspiring, collective and deeply human.
This podcast is Obstackl’s way of speaking with the people doing the great work, whether relating to the UN SDGs, other impact frameworks, or their own vision. Leaders and changemakers in business, academia, the public sector and third sector.
Moved will be factual and exploratory on one level, and emotional on another. A stock take in slow-motion.
Sometimes joined by Mishal Noor, Gary will explore what impact means today and where we can go next.
Episode 0 includes a re-voiced excerpt from the UN’s Global Goals campaign, originally voiced by Al Pacino. The official video is linked below.
