This episode is brought to you by Excelsior Capital, an investment platform focused on democratizing private equity by providing individuals access to direct opportunities. To learn more about the firm, please visit excelsiorgp.com and connect with Bryan on LinkedIn. [INTERVIEW] [00:00:07] BA: Welcome to the conversation on Colloquium. Today I’ve got an old friend of mine, Matt Browner-Hamlin with me. Matt, how are you today? [00:00:37] MBH: I’m doing great, Bryan. How are you? [00:00:38] BA: Good. I’m going to give a little bit of kind of the bio and then we'll get into some of the work that you've been doing. And as context, Matt and I went to college together a long time ago and was a good friend of mine in school. And then as many of us in our kind of pre-Facebook generation, just kind of lost track of each other frankly. And it's been probably a good 10 years since we last spoke. But it's fun to get reconnected. And you've been doing some really interesting things. So I’m excited to get into it. So his background, Matt is an accomplished technology strategist, data-driven campaigner, digital marketer and writer. He is currently the interim chief technology officer at Greenpeace International. Greenpeace is a global independent campaigning organization with offices in 55 countries. Matt has previously worked for a direct consumer renewable energy startup, international human rights, labor economic justice campaigning context, as well as in American politics and presidential incentive campaigns, as well as some other interesting blogging and content creation that you've made over the years, which we'll probably get into.  But, first, I really want to dig into kind of Greenpeace itself. I think a lot of people in our minds think of the efforts they had against Japanese whaling and the kind of images of television. But it's actually a much older organization. Can you maybe talk a little bit about how you found yourself at Greenpeace and give folks a little bit more context about the originations of the organization and what the focus is today? [00:02:11] MBH: Yeah, sure thing. And, first, thanks for having me on, Bryan, and it's great to reconnect on this occasion. It's been a long time. And I think a lot of us are using the COVID times to build back old bridges and have conversations that are probably long overdue, but easily slip past when it's hard in our regular life. So thanks for having me on. [00:02:28] BA: Yeah. Absolutely, man. [00:02:29] MBH: So Greenpeace is about to turn 50. I think in 2021 is our 50th anniversary. And the organization has its roots in anti-nuclear campaigning. And the story of its founding actually goes back to a bunch of activists in Canada who were really opposed to ongoing U.S. nuclear testing in...
