Nina Dar. The Change Troubleshooter
Change doesn’t only happen on big stages or inside shiny transformation programmes.
It happens in real lives, real communities and often far from the spotlight.
Nina Dar: The Change Troubleshooter is a podcast that gives space to those stories.
Hosted by Nina Dar, transformation leader, executive coach and founder of Cheeky Monkey Business Solutions, the podcast features conversations with people who’ve driven change from the grassroots up, challenged the status quo, or quietly shaped the world in ways you may never have heard of, but should.
Some episodes are planned. Some are wonderfully accidental. All are real.
In 2026, the podcast leans into the themes of Nina’s book,
Your Move: The Human Reset 100 Coaching Moments for Conscious Transformation in the Age of AI, exploring what it really means to stay human, awake and courageous in a world accelerating faster than our systems, and sometimes our thinking.
No hype. No hero worship.
Just honest stories, human insight and the belief that real change starts closer to the ground than we’re usually told.

I Wanted To Be An Explorer
Welcome to a brand new season of the Change Troubleshooter!
Amazingly, this is the 6th season of this podcast that started back in 2020. We have now had over 2 and a half thousand downloads from no less than 535 cities in 47 countries spanning 6 continents! Thanks to you all for remaining interested.
Season 6 is called "Hang on, what happened and why?" This is a common moment that Nina has with people. She loves the "stop, and take me back" moment this creates and is curiously hungry to understand the detail better.
Episode one kicks of with "I Wanted To Be An Explorer."
Johnny France, a toolmaker, originally from Southport. once told his careers advisor he wanted to be an explorer. He did an engineering apprenticeship thinking he would work in manufacturing, just as Margaret Thatcher thought that wasn't what we should invest in anymore. "Sometimes life doesn't take you on the path you thought," he said, as Nina says hang on, what happened and why?
