The Redwood Group was established to address the growing erosion of human agency caused by digital overload, coercive narratives, and algorithmic influence. By translating intelligence and military influence operations into civilian resilience products and services, the group empowers individuals and leaders to protect their cognition, reclaim presence, and lead ethically in today’s expanding information environments.
In a time when human attention has become one of the most contested territories on the planet, one organisation stands at the intersection of security, leadership, and ethical influence. The Redwood Group was born not out of ambition, but obligation—an urgent response to a world where digital manipulation threatens the sovereignty of thought itself.
Founder Adam Darnley-Stuart shares the story behind Redwood Group, the vision driving its mission, and the philosophies shaping its approach to leadership in an age of algorithmic warfare.
In this episode, we discover the following:
1. What are influential risk, narrative sovereignty and cognitive resilience?
2. Why keeping humanity in the loop is the bedrock within the Redwood Group culture.
3. Why it’s about the human and not the tech.
4. Where Adam’s love for humanity and service originates.
