About a third of global carbon emissions come from transportation, with most generated by private vehicles. Cities face a critical challenge: the “last mile” problem—how to efficiently connect people from transit hubs, like bus and train stations, to their homes or workplaces. When public transit falls short, commuters often turn to cars, increasing traffic, pollution, and emissions. Lime, a leader in micro-mobility, tackles this gap with e-bikes and e-scooters, offering a sustainable alternative for these short, essential urban trips. With over 500 million rides completed—covering more than a billion kilometers—Lime demonstrates how small shifts in behavior can make a big impact on decarbonization.Nico met with Andrew Savage, co-founder and VP of Sustainability of Lime, during a visit to Savage's hometown of Burlington, VT. Andrew draws from a career that spans solar energy, policy work, and government relations. Before joining Lime, Savage was a key figure at AllEarth Renewables, helping advance solar energy adoption in Vermont. He also served on political campaigns, advised mayors, and worked closely with Capitol Hill on policy initiatives. His deep expertise in environmental policy gave Savage a unique skillset to help steer Lime's growth into 280 markets while keeping on pace with the company's goal of net zero by 2030.

On today's episode, I talk to musician and painter Andrew Savage. Originally from Denton, TX, Andrew began playing music seriously when he formed the band Teenage Cool Kids in college in 2006. By the time the group officially disbanded in 2011, Andrew had already been writing music in a new band, Parquet Courts, which he started with his college friend Austin Brown. Since that time, they've released seven albums on labels like What's Your Rupture? and Rough Trade, and Andrew was even nominated for a Grammy for Human Performance's artwork. As a solo artist, Andrew has released two albums, 2017's Thawing Dawn, on his own label Dull Tools and his latest, Several Songs About Fire, which was just released on Rough Trade last week!

Show Notes: Be sure to visit: Lime Social Media: LinkedIn Twitter Transcript: Seth Cysewski: Andrew, thank you so much for joining us here today. I appreciate it. So you grew up in rural Vermont. Can you tell me what that was like and how that laid the groundwork for your career and sustainability? Andrew Savage: It's great to be with you. Thanks. Yeah, I mean it was a pretty amazing place to gain an appreciation for the environment in a really sort of organic way. I mean I lived in a very rural town with 2 parents that essentially used our hundred acres to get by and not in the sense that we needed the land to, you know, make a living, but they just used it for everything it was worth. My mom had a huge garden where she'd grow things that we would eat year-round. We would gather firewood for the winter, and I'll tell you, you know, when I did the math of how many times you actually touch a piece of firewood before it goes actually in the furnace, it's amazing, it's like 9 times. You know you're cutting it down. You're throwing in the truck you're driving it up the hill. You're unloading it. You're putting it in a wagon. You're you know, putting in a pile in the basement, then you're stacking, and then finally you're putting it in. And then you know, in the fireplace or in the the the furnace. It's amazing. You actually really then know and think about what conservation means, and what, you know, turning the thermostat up and down means you get a real appreciation for the environment that you live in and it was just a real amazing community where we were close to neighbors and neighbors relied on neighbors which I think has a real deep interplay with sustainability as well. Seth Cysewski: Sure. Was there any specific moment, maybe like in your life or in your career early on, that really pivoted you or set your core focus on sustainability going forward? Andrew Savage: Yeah, I mean, I think back. Certainly, with that sort of environmental ethic as a foundation from growing up in that kind of an environment, I think when I first went to Middlebury College, which has one of the oldest or the oldest environmental studies programs in the country. Seth Cysewski: What was that? Andrew Savage: I heard a physics professor of all things, and I'm not a scientist by any means, but I heard a physics professor sharing the latest on climate science, and you know, he was sharing about the IPCC reports, and it totally blew me away, and I think the experience there and through that you know, program at Middlebury, it allowed me to sort of connect the sort of land ethic if you will environmental ethic that I've grown up with to an academic sense, and that's where I studied political science and really got a sense of all right, How do you take something you care about something you know could be a personal mission and apply it to a professional setting? So it was really quite formative and really motivated me to dive into the world of both politics and the environment. Seth Cysewski: That's great. Can you tell me more about Middleberry college. I believe you met Bill McKibben there. Could you tell us about Bill? Andrew Savage: Sure. Yeah, I mean there is a funny story there. So he was a cross country ski racer in college, and he had written a book called Long Distance about essentially training to be a pro. He trained like he was a professional ski racer year-round as well as sort of sharing a bit about his personal experience with the loss of a father and sort of, you know to his own health and the declining health of a parent and my dad had given it to me for Christmas present. And I read it and was intrigued. I was a skier, and suddenly Bill had become a scholar in residence at Middlebury, and I knew nothing about his environmental creds and obviously, as you know by asking that question. You know he's one of the world's leading climate activists. I knew enough, little enough about him that I had the hubris to call him up and ask him if he wanted to go for a run because why would I not. He'd just written a book about cross country skiing and my roommate at the time was far more read than I was and more academic than I was and knew a lot more than I did was like are you kidding that you just called Bill up for a run. And I did, and a friendship was born. He started coming to practices with us when we had sort of bring a friend day, and to this day, he remains an incredible mentor to me. He's about as magnanimous a person as I've ever met. He ended up being the officiant at my wife and my wedding. Seth Cysewski: Wow. Andrew Savage: And doing wonderful jobs, so he is, you know he's one of those people whom you know the bar is really high with Bill because he is such an incredible presence in the climate movement but has also remained a really wonderful ally and advisor and someone I aspire to. Um, you know, sort of fulfill a certain mission in life as well. Seth Cysewski: That's a great story. Thank you for sharing. So you mentioned something about being the intersection of politics and sustainability and so you have quite an interesting and diverse background. Can you tell me more about your time in politics and specifically you used to work for Congressman Peter Welch, I believe, and you led an effort to have him or make him the first carbon-neutral member of Congress. I would love to hear more about that, and I think there might even be a story in there about Nancy Pelosi's office and whatnot. I'm going to let you talk to me about politics. Andrew Savage: Yeah, sure. So as I mentioned, I studied environmental studies and political science and college and really jumped right into the political environment first with Howard Dean's presidential campaign and later in Vermont politics where Peter Welch was a congressional candidate a few years into my working with him and we won the race, and we were joining essentially a freshman class in Congress of a ton of new members. It was when the Democrats took back control of Congress Nancy Pelosi was speaker of the house and when you are. Ah, fresher member of Congress, and you're from a state like Vermont, which on its face is not necessarily always the most competitive congressional race. We had a competitive race just based on the candidates that were in the race; you were about as low as they get fresh and member non-competitive race. You're not going to get anything from anyone. You really got to be scrappy about how you position yourself, and you sort of navigate the world of Washington DC and um you know usually when you're a staff person in Congress you let the member take all the credit they wrote the bill they did all over I will take a little bit of credit for this crazy idea that then the congressman was very receptive to. I was out roller skiing of all things exercising before we were all moved down to Washington DC and had this crazy idea out of my work at Middlebury College of all places of carbon neutrality and how could we make Congressman Welch's office the first carbon-neutral office in the country and looked it up. It didn't seem like anyone had done it. We hatched a plan using, you know, then carbon offsets now. Obviously, we can have a chat about whether carbon offsets are a good thing or a bad thing and how they play into the sustainability movement, but at the time, it was a real statement around addressing your carbon footprint as best you could. You know the member of Congress flies back and forth to and from Washington DC to the home office. That's just a necessity of the job and so had this idea that Congressman Welch was extremely receptive so three weeks into to taking office. He's holding a press conference in the small Longworth house office building Boston Globe shows up the hill newspaper shows up a whole bunch of other DC papers and reporters and we got great coverage and but literally within hours of doing this Nancy Pelosi's office calls up says "How'd you do this? What'd you do? We're super intrigued in this" and that gave him a real opportunity to be talking about issues of energy the environment carbon and a year and a half later an appointment to the energy and commerce committee where he had a seat on a committee that would lead to you know writing Waxman-Markey the only climate real climate change bill that's come through Congress in ever really, you know, so it was an example where you know a small thing on the sustainability front can lead to you know much more impactful opportunities and I think was you know informative of a way that a small idea could actually you know catalyze something that could lead to something much greater. Seth Cysewski: I love the way that that demonstrates that's the ripple effect, right? Andrew Savage: Yeah, you know and and ultimately what just to route out the story I didn't share why speaker Pelosi's office was so interested they were interested in a greening the capitol initiative and so over the coming months develop their own How do we decarbonize the US Capitol and and and provide a leadership role for the speaker's office and in democratic leadership in general on Capitol Hill which I think that if you put in the front of the minds of you know dozens and dozens or hundreds of members of Congress is a really important thing for driving at least the hope for policy change that we need to address the climate crisis we face. Seth Cysewski: So leading by example and then like creating a conversation, right? Andrew Savage: Absolutely. You got to start somewhere, and in many ways often people are too reluctant to take a step, so they take no steps, but you know we you just don't get anywhere that way, and you got us keep moving the ball down the field, or we won't make any progress on anything. Seth Cysewski: Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more on that all right? So maybe let's dive in how did you end up at Lime. What are you doing? Andrew Savage: Yeah, I mean, what am I doing? That's a good question. So I had spent 6 years after the work in Congress in the renewable energy space at a solar manufacturer that was also developing renewable energy projects, and so had spent quite a lot of time including work while I was on the board of SEIA the National Solar Industry Association talking about the electrification of everything so here we are in the renewable energy and solar space talking about how the future, transportation, homes, everything is going to be electrified and as it came to a juncture in my career with with that company and both personally and professionally we were looking to make a move west I ended up just having some conversations and connecting with with Toby and Brad who are at the time thinking about this idea of dockless bike sharing bike sharing had become very popular in Asia in particular in China where the combination of reliable GPS with ubiquitously available smartphones allowed people to rent bikes on the fly pretty much anywhere by scanning a QR code and you know having automatic payments and so the idea was to bring that service and technology to initially the United States and so we had some conversations, and ultimately at the time of the founding I hopped on board as one of the members of the founding team and was there to essentially help the company lead our policy and market development at a time when nobody really knew what dockless bikes were or how to regulate them so it was a really pretty fascinating and interesting professional experience of being able to bring a whole different set of sustainability objectives to in this case, the transportation sector with ultimately electric bikes and now e-scooters at the company. Seth Cysewski: Yeah, let's talk a little bit about that because since you were on the founding team so it started with just ah, a real small group of individuals and now you have over 500 employees. You guys have raised over $1 Billion in capital you announced that you guys are going to be filing for an IPO later this year. So, you are very large; what is the growth in the maturity of the company been like for you, and then maybe how have your how or what have your objectives like how have they changed or your or your role changed since maybe you started to today. Andrew Savage: I mean, I know you have a young child or children. Yeah, okay, well I know you have a young child at home. So this might resonate with you, I do as well. I feel like the journey of Lime is much like raising a small child where every four months every six months, it morphs and grows in a different way that you couldn't have imagined prior to that experience, and I would say that every quarter or every half year at Lime over the last five years has really felt like a different company because we've had a different objective. We've had a different team. We've had just a real evolving growth. I mean it was truly hyper-growth at the time people were coming to us from very fast-growing companies saying we cannot believe at the pace that this company is growing and that was just the nature of the industry, the nature of of the times but also the nature of of the adoption of the service that that it's one of those things where once you built it once you put it out in the market. The interest and the utilization was so high that it only started booing more growth. So it allowed us to raise money. It allowed us to hire. You know, to go from 5 to 500 plus employees allowed us to expand you know to now over 200 markets globally allowed us to offer new products to go from offering an e-bike and bikes to an e-scooter. So you know, in many ways, it's just been a constant evolution of what do we do now to continue to grow this company. How to build a better business, a more sustainable business. Both sustainable in the environmental sense, but also on the economic sense have a company that makes money so that it can truly be an enduring service and have a long-term sustainable benefit and, you know, I think what's interesting is we',ve been able to deliver on all that. I think as we've done that been able to grow out a much more robust sustainability mission as well. Seth Cysewski: Can you talk to me a little bit about the sustainability mission? Maybe where it got started and how it's played out until now, and where you're at maybe right now with it? Andrew Savage: For sure. So you know when we started the company, you know, clearly we had among our goals the environmental impact goal. I mean we had we had objectives around equity in serving cities and helping you know. Sort of the last mile and the first mile of transportation in cities, which had always vexed city leaders and policymakers and even those who deliver a service like public transportation. So our goal was really to help deliver a better transportation service, and you know a lot of people ask well did you guys start with such a strong sustainability environmental ethic or practice and I think the candid answer is not as much as we would have liked. It was more survival right? When you are starting a company, especially in a competitive space. You know you'd love to be doing all the nice stuff that fits the mission, but survival was the most important thing because if you don't survive, then how are you going to deliver on a much more robust or bigger mission and so I would say that over the last several years, we've really been able to, you know, meet that sort of test of durability. Are we going to be a service that will be around in 10 years and add in layers of sustainability that have helped us enhance the mission? I spent the first two years at Lime leading all of our policy government relations at around that juncture. I shifted roles to lead sustainability for the company and it was in part because I felt like it was so important to our key stakeholders. Our cities who give us the green light or red light to operate our riders who want to see us living by our mission, and there were so many opportunities for us to lead on sustainability, so to your question, we really started with some of the basic stuff we were offering and like you know, electric service scooters and bikes. We thought, well let's commit to renewable energy for all that electricity. You know, let's start where it matters most, and so we did that, and that was the first. Many things that we've done since then to enhance our sustainability mission I think the thing that I'm most proud at the highest level that we've done is we have a really ambitious Science Based Target we're going to be Net Zero by 2030 we have a 1.5°c aligned target aligned with the Paris Climate Accord and the reason that I'm proud of it. But even though we haven't achieved it, of course that's something that's, you know, now eight years away, is that it really sets the company up to orient around. It's a goal that matters most to this company that if we're going to deliver on our promise around decarbonizing transportation. We need to look within and decarbonize our business as well, and that's something that has allowed the entire company to rally around. It's an objective that that. Many people come to the company for, and it gives us a real anchoring point to make the changes that we need to make internally to decarbonize Lime and thus have an ah have a shot as an industry of decarbonizing transportation as a whole. Seth Cysewski: You mentioned earlier about electrifying everything and you know you guys being a primarily electric-based service and talking about decarbonization right now. What do you guys see, or what do you see as your primary challenges that maybe you're directly or indirectly facing or working to address at Lime right now around that? Andrew Savage: Yeah, I think, you know in our aspiration to meet the Science Based Target and to be a Net Zero company, you know, we're looking throughout the business from how our product is made to how it's served in markets to its end of life. And so what we're doing is rolling up our sleeves and looking at throughout the life cycle of a Lime scooter or a Lime bike. What can we do to improve the environmental footprint of the service that we provide, so we are looking at everything from the materials that go into our scooter and bike and how it's designed in markets. How are we operating the service so we have recently introduced swappable batteries, which means that instead of having to bring a vehicle from a city to the city streets back to a warehouse to charge the vehicle, we could actually swap in a fully charged battery reducing the amount of transportation by half right? Because you're making one trip instead of 2, or actually, it could be even longer depending on sort of the routes that you take in bringing the vehicles back and then redeploying them. And so there are things like that that we can do to help decarbonize the business and and we are doing and we're also thinking about our what kind of fleet. Do we use to operate the programs in cities that we serve so electrifying our e-van our vans into e-vans, and so, also think about things like second life if we have batteries that are no longer usable for mobility moving people around. How can we use those batteries for a second life that adds some purpose to them so they're having to be recycled, which would ultimately be what we would do with the material? An example of that is we have a really exciting partnership with a company called Gomi out of the UK, and they have taken our bike batteries they take out the cells, and they've been using the cells that are still viable for essentially a Bluetooth speaker system, and that's a great use of battery that isn't. You know, able to move a person around anymore but certainly could power a speaker or other or other electronics. Absolutely yeah. Seth Cysewski: Gets a second life. Circularity always being the goal and it could be. It could be a challenge. Andrew Savage: Yeah, I mean, I think that's exactly right. You know your mention of circularity raises just the higher level point that you know has gone unspoken so far in this conversation but just the nature of a shared transportation. Service is a, you know, more circular model than everyone needing to own an individual vehicle. You know, I think if we're doing things right in the future, we're using fewer resources to deliver the exact service that is necessary and if it's possible to share it great and you have to build fewer of them, and you know we often talk about how transportation. You know is such as you know such a big part of the carbon problem, you know over 25% of the world's carbon. Emissions comes from transportation, in fact, the majority of that is personal transportation, and the majority of personal transportation are trips under 5 miles that people often take by a car. So if we could think about ways to make transportation lower carbon through things like microrobility and Lime service, we have a real shot at reducing the overall carbon impact that people have in moving around and think about how inefficient moving around in a car is you're essentially moving a 6000 lb vehicle to move you know between 100 or 300 lb person a few miles, and you're spending all that energy to move the vehicle around versus move the individual around, and our focus really is on the individual and the rider. How do we get them from point A to point B? And I think we can do so in a much lower carbon way. Seth Cysewski: I actually think about that all the time. I don't know if everyone does, but I do think of how how how crazy it is yeah that I'm in a car, and then I think it's more pronounced for me when I travel to Europe and the train systems, you know, you don't use cars at all, really you know? Andrew Savage: Yeah. Seth Cysewski: I guess it depends on where you're at, and maybe to that point, I would love to hear your thoughts or like what's your vision for carbon free mobility? What does the future look like to you? Andrew Savage: Yeah, I mean, it's fun to think about what the future could look like because I think we're seeing at this moment and amazing, you know, growth and electrification of transportation. You know, I think micromobility has the potential to be the first totally carbon-free mobility service period full stop without needing to use carbon offsets without you know some of the, you know, the practices that companies have used in the past to mitigate their environmental footprint. I think that that, of course, will involve if you're looking at it from a full lifecycle perspective. Zeroing out the emissions of manufacturing zeroing out the emissions of managing the service or transporting the vehicles zeroing out the emissions of end of life but micromobility has the greatest shot at that to achieve zero emissions first. And yes, companies will need to use carbon removal to account for you know, some of the things that are aren't able to be mitigated. But I think if we're looking at the future of transportation micromobility could very well be the first place you go to for a truly zero carbon service. And that's an objective there. We're after, we want to be looking throughout the business throughout the lifecycle of our product to decarbonize and achieve that mission. I also think yes, I also think we're going to see innovations that maybe a few years ago you wouldn't have been able. We wouldn't have been able to comprehend but things like wireless charging. Do we see the ability for micromobility to snack on electricity in a wireless way at a stoplight in a bike lane because people know in Paris or London or New York that there's going to be a dozen vehicles, bike or scooter, sitting over that pad for 30 seconds during a red light and is that going to help us get from here to there even more efficiently reduce the need for operations allow vehicles to go farther or you know longer in the day et cetera. So I think there's just an amazing amount of innovation that's going to happen in the coming years as adoption has picked up and and formalized within cities and frankly cities provide more space for micro mobility as well. Seth Cysewski: Yeah, I saw a video recently they were talking about a new technology where they were using like these tall wind turbines kind of next to next to highways and stuff, so they're using the inertia from the cars going by and it's spinning these little turbines on the side and producing electricity. I just keep thinking about all these different applications and the way I mean it's so hard to predict the future, but innovation is certainly a very cool thing and I like the direction we're heading what now, so you just mentioned you know without offsets, and I would love to hear., love to hear your thought on offsets and what role they play for you guys right now or in the broader transportation sector or company sector in operations, and where we're heading in that realm. Andrew Savage: Yeah, I think it is a complicated one and, you know, a hard one to digest into little sound bites. I think you often lose folks when talking about the sort of nuances of carbon mitigation. But, you know, as I mentioned earlier with Congressman Welch for example, almost twenty years ago carbon offsets were a very reasonable approach to take to reduce your carbon footprint and to have some some sort of mitigating impact that countered the the carbon impact you were having whether you were a person individual a business a you know public servant etc. I think today it's become clear that businesses that want to lead on carbon need to reduce emissions and need to essentially sequester carbon that they aren't able to mitigate. So I think that in lies the biggest difference. Lime has used carbon offsets to certify certain markets carbon neutral that have wanted to do so. Do we see that as a long-term strategy towards carbon? No, we see decarbonization as our long-term strategy full mitigation of carbon wherever we can. And then for the remaining residual amount of carbon that you just cannot reduce because you just don't control it. For example, if you have to fly to a meeting or you know or to a market that you're serving and the airlines haven't yet decarbonized. You're going to have to find ways to mitigate that, and that's where I think the nuance of carbon removal is so important where it's not that you're buying an offset saying that we're not going to cut down this forest you're saying we're actually going to have additional measures whether they be nature-based or technology-based that sequester carbon that wouldn't otherwise be reduced and mitigated so that that to me is the real difference and I think we've come a long way even in just the last couple years in that conversation in the industry and in businesses that are seeking carbon goals and as you're probably aware a Science Based Target does not allow the use of carbon offsets and there is an allowance for the use of carbon removal for just that reason. Seth Cysewski: Thank you. That's really, that's good information. So let's circle back. So you started with policy at Lime and I would love to shift gears a little bit. We're talking about decarbonization, and where do you think or where does policy play a role in decarbonization and in other sustainability efforts, both across countries and inside of large organizations? Andrew Savage: I mean, I think your policy can be a real catalyzing influence, and policy can help open markets policy can help mitigate for sort of an imbalance in markets. You know, I think having come from an industry where we've received venture capital to grow in the industry and the goal really is to achieve profitability so that you have a long-term enduring impact you know. Ultimately, you want to be in a place where you don't need policy to thrive. You don't need, for example, text credits or things like that, something that we haven't had to receive at Lime. What we have needed and I do think policy plays a major role and is creating a stable market or creating an environment where you know the lay of the land, or there is a playing field on which to operate as a business so you know you can see this now even you know, for example, solar industry wind industry where wind and solar are competitive with coal, and it's in part because of policy but in part, because it's just good business now. It's just good economics, and so I think what we've found at Lime is that that policy plays a major role in creating a landscape for us to do our job, which is run a good business that people like and will use and where there is imbalance, you know, take for example, the externalities of companies that are polluting. That's where policy can or should step in and say you wait a second; we actually should be accounting for the bad things that are happening so that those who are bad actors aren't able to get a free ride and have a better business simply because they get away with it. So, you know, I think policy is going to need to drive the decarbonization transformation policy. You know we'll need to play a role in you know, sort of accounting for those you know those sort of market imbalances, but ultimately I think where businesses thrive is when you have a playing field where you can actually compete and do great. With a level playing field and have your service thrive because it's lower carbon and ultimately lower carbon simply means you're wasting less carbon is not an efficient long-term solution, right? You burn it once. And it's gone. You transport it all around the world just to burn it once, and it's gone. Wouldn't you rather have a business or an economy that's based on something that's far more sustainable, and ultimately it will be far lower cost once you get those sort of imbalances out? I think that's where policy really can play a leading role. I know a bit of a wonky answer, but I think an important one, and I think it's often lost on folks on the general public. How sort of imbalanced, you know, the market is without policy stepping in, and that's where it's really hard to get the right policies because that imbalance, you know, create some great winners. I mean, look at the oil and gas industry. They've been doing just fine for years and years and years, and they don't want to get rid of their, you know, their preferential leases that they get for land, or they don't want to get rid of their infrastructure that's been built around them to transport their oil and gas. They don't want to get rid of subsidies that they've received but they see a huge threat in in those that that those businesses that don't need those things and and and could deliver a similar service at a lower cost. Seth Cysewski: What role do you think business can or needs to be involved for this decarbonized future? Andrew Savage: I think, you know, sort of putting, you know, the hat that I have in politics and advocacy on with the hat that I have in business kind of hard to wear two hats. But, if you could picture, you can picture that if you could picture me wearing two hats here. I think that businesses small and large, and I'm sort of emphasized small here as well, underestimate how much impact they can have being advocates. Policymakers don't often hear from businesses. They hear from big businesses. We all know where you know the giant traditional companies stand. But when you think about the sustainability businesses that you know you work with and that we work with and you know those businesses are the future, people know that they're creating jobs. They're creating a better, they're offering a better service. They are going to be more efficient long-term, but I think businesses, small and large, often underestimate how much impact they can have by speaking up, and you know you don't have to have a fully built out policy shop to do so you don't have to have a huge political or policy ask to do so. I just think elected leaders, whether they be state, local, or federal, need to hear from the businesses of the future because they need to see what the future looks like and that there are jobs and better markets being created because of this work. So I think business plays an enormous role in advocating for itself and doesn't have to be like in a self-interested way but just sort of guiding where the future is going and if Policymakers don't hear about it. They really aren't going to be able to be responsive to it either. Seth Cysewski: Yeah, that makes sense. What I hear you saying is that there's great opportunity out there, and business plays a huge role in opening that up and making that visible for policy makers and everyone, essentially. Andrew Savage: Absolutely yeah, you said it more succinctly than I did. But yeah, exactly all right. That's fair. It's sheer cheating there, all right. Seth Cysewski: I was thinking about the way you were talking, looking into your crystal ball; what is the next five and then the next ten years look like to you for the future of either micro-mobility, or even cities? I saw you post something about city planning the other day on LinkedIn, and it got me thinking about it tool I thought about all the great cities I visit and what I like and don't like, and how they work, and I know you think about it more than I do so I would love to hear your thoughts on those two timeframes and what you see. Andrew Savage: Yeah, I appreciate it. I think that when you look at a service like Lime, one of the biggest benefits is the mode shift people taking scooters and or a bike. Instead of taking a much more polluting car or a ride-hail vehicle and globally, our road shift is around 25%, so one in every four trips is preventing a car trip. I see that only increasing I see cities adopting the service or sort of welcoming more micromobility than they ever have before, you know we went from being really a disruptive service to cities to being an essential service in the pandemic you had cities that actually declared micromobility as an essential service because it was you know, socially distant it would allow people to get around. It was autonomous. So we're seeing cities around the globe carving out more space for micro micromobility creating bike lanes protected lanes. You also see and will see over the 10 or 5-year horizon better integrations with public transit. You mentioned public transit earlier; the ability to sort of link up with and provide a first and last-mile connection to public transit is that's the secret sauce, right? That's how you get people using public transit if it's really efficient and really easy and if it gets you from here to there and micromobility really helps serve in that role. And so I feel like in the next five years ten years you're going to see more space given to micromobility in transportation. I also think what you know what's interesting is that vehicles you know cars they sit idle 96% of their lives that they're parked. 96% of our lives, if you think about how much space is used for simply parking a vehicle such wasted space, especially in an urban environment so instead picture all those vehicles gone for a second, you suddenly have an entire travel lane on the other side of most roads that could be parks. That could be protected bike lanes that could be eateries outside of restaurants; things that we've seen during this pandemic think about all the parking structures the parking garages in urban cores, you know multi-level 4 or 5, six, ten-story buildings used to park cars. Actually could be turned into public housing; it could be public housing, affordable housing. It could be market-rate housing; it would allow people to live where they were such a novel concept, right? So the idea of moving away from the car. That's not used for most of its life, and carving out taking the space that the car over the last hundred years has elbowed its way into I think, is a really transformative 5 to 10-year horizon that we will see in the relatively near term if you think about a hundred plus years get into the mess that we have with a car-centered culture I think it could be unwound much faster and I think it could be unwound in a way that the public will much appreciate with more space more affordable, housing. More places that do the things that we and actually enjoy in cities versus using it for cars. Seth Cysewski: You just painted a really pretty picture for me. Yeah, let's do it and in 5 to 10 years. I love that. That's exciting, and I like hearing that's you're thought too, is that you know, we're really trending in that direction, and I think I think it's a generational thing too. So that's very exciting. As we wind down just two last questions. I guess the first one I like to ask occasionally is, I was wondering if you had any personal or professional core value values that you operate on or that that you would maybe want to share. Andrew Savage: I tend to not be someone who has lots of, I don't know, sayings or things of that nature, though there is one saying that I and that I've come across more recently by a physicist. Albert Sweitzer, who essentially, had said that his life, or my life, is my argument and I really like that the concept of my life is my argument. That resonated with me for a few reasons. It's not to say that I think I'm doing things perfectly. I don't, especially when it comes to sustainability when you start saying you're perfect. You absolutely deserve a giant mirror to look at, but it's more that do want to choose to live your life in a way that's deliberate a way that you're living a life that is in line with your core values, and I think that saying also, in this day and age of the metaverse and all that it sort of it raises the question of do you want to be running around on Twitter making short political arguments or do you want to actually just go live a life that actually has impact. I think that sort of Twitter argument is too easy, and I think making your life. Your argument is the hard stuff, and so while I by no means think I'm perfect and I would say we all need to aspire to do better and we can all look for things internally to our lives whatever, wherever we're at on the sort of continuum that where we can improve, I like the concept of just constantly thinking about all right? How do we live a life that's deliberate and choose professional paths that feel deliberate to us or choose pursuits that feel like they're deliberate in a way that fits in with our values? Seth Cysewski: So being on Twitter isn't gonna, isn't gonna change it all. Andrew Savage: Sorry sorry if I knocked anyone on Twitter. I mean, I think you can still be on Twitter and have an impact, I don't mean to disrupt the world order right now with social media. But, you know, I think it it is worth thinking about how much time do you spend on things, Seth, for Twitter and making arguments there. How much are you spending, you know, at a city council meeting or, you know, working with a member of Congress to think about the next policy that we should enact I think there is a balance, and there's room for it all. But I think when you look back on your life I think you'll see more value in the time that you spent not making arguments but living the argument that you want. Seth Cysewski: Yeah, it's like effort allocation. You know all right? We'll finish up here with last question unless there's anything else you want to get into, and my question would be, what is one takeaway that you would want business leaders listening to know? Andrew Savage: That's a hard one. At Lime we're laser-focused now on building a transportation future that is shared, is affordable, and is carbon-free, and those anchor points allow us to think about decisions every day that we are making to better the business. And I think for any business leader that is starting a business, that's in the middle of the business; I think it's thinking about: All right, what do you want to achieve as a company? What motivates your employees? What gets your customers excited, and I think then just pursuing that with all focus that you can is the way to have an impact and have a sustainable impact in the future. Seth Cysewski: That's great. Thank thank you for sharing, and I appreciate it all. Andrew, it has been just lovely getting to chat with you today about all thing, this is great. Do you have anything else? Andrew Savage: Of course. And no, I'm good, but it was great. It was great talking with you. I think the conversations that you're having are awesome. I think that the idea of having more conversations around sustainability in business is just so important, and more and more businesses, thankfully are tuning in. Seth Cysewski: I hope so. I think so, too, though. So that's great. Yeah, thank you for that, and we'll go ahead and put some links in the show notes thank you again for joining. Much appreciated.

Andrew Savage is the Founder and CEO of Suma Brands, a next-generation commerce platform that develops marketplace brands into household names. Suma's purpose is to find, acquire, and help brands realize their potential, both in the Amazon jungle and beyond. Andrew has 15 years of experience building successful retail businesses and developing web technology products. Prior to founding Suma Brands, he held advisory roles in retail companies and worked in management roles at Amazon and Target.com. In this episode… Over the last couple of years, Amazon has been working to improve its marketplace to be more convenient for both sellers and buyers. This has led to an increase in the number of sellers joining the channel—which, in turn, has made it a more attractive space for investors. So, how can both FBA brands and buyers stand out from the growing competition on the Amazon marketplace? When preparing to sell, most private label Amazon brands work on their financial records, customer reviews, and business operations to make their businesses more attractive to investors. However, according to Andrew Savage, these brands should actually spend more time focusing on their products in order to stand out. As he says, a brand's long-term value and growth potential are often rooted in the products it sells—not just its presence on Amazon. Andrew Savage, the Founder and CEO of Suma Brands, joins James Thomson in this episode of the Buy Box Experts podcast to talk about why FBA private label sellers should focus more on their products when looking to exit. Andrew discusses what he looks for when evaluating a business for sale, the importance of creating a product roadmap, and how Suma Brands approaches deal structure. Stay tuned.

Parquet Courts exploded into New York music fans’ collective consciousness in early 2013, with the release of their blistering post-punk LP, Light Up Gold. They formed in Brooklyn, in 2010, but its members all met in Texas years before. Lean and urgent like the best of the early punk rock bands, Parquet Courts’ output is of mostly short and spunky songs, written by guitarists Andrew Savage and Austin Brown. They performed in-studio for us, back in early 2013. Set List: "Master Of My Craft"/"Borrowed Time" "Stoned And Starving"
Sully talks about punk music not as a genre but as a lifestyle. A movement toward original thought and creativity fueled by a Do-it-yourself attitude. At almost 50 years old Sully is extremely candid about his failures and successes as a songwriter, tennis pro, and father of three. He struggles paycheck to paycheck to make ends meat yet still finds the time to write songs and be creative. Much in the vein of Andrew Savage's book, EVERY TOOL IS A HAMMER and Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi's pivotal works on FLOW and CREATIVITY, Sully not only looks to inspire but to explore these proposed concepts through listening and discussion and how they pertain to happiness, fulfillment, and purpose. Using Please Kill Me (the uncensored oral history of punk) by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain as his bible he reads passages from the book to shed light on the artists and mindsets that got the movement moving. Ryan Black/Blizzle raises questions about musical fads like EMO with such bands as Dashboard Confessional and The Spill Canvas while Sully provides historical and cultural context for those fads. Sully and Black, both fans of Jazz, talk about it's influence on other musical art forms. From jazz great Ornette Coleman's song, Focus on Sanity from his album, The Shape of Jazz to Come to the Swedish hardcore punk band REFUSED's song Liberation Frequency from their album, The Shape of Punk to Come nothing is left off the table. Black's thoughtful questioning reveals his own curiosity and also shows the respect him and Sully have for music as well as one another. Much like their songwriting process for Theft To The Gallows and Black's Backbone the give and take between them is obvious and authentic. List of songs in this episode and songs that almost made this episode:batman theme, scrape away, mr. pharmacist, surfin' bird, night of the phantom, dirty red, we want the airwaves, kung fu girls, horizontal twist, I want to know, growing concern, old new york, rape me, francis farmer will get her revenge on seattle, fake my own death, king of contradiction, ma poubelle, rock and roll, foggy notion, friction, foxhole, turnover, waiting room, one more time, guns on the roof, focus on sanity, the shape of punk to come, liberation frequency, double dare you, magnet, rebel girl, uncle bob, scatter the rats, I am a poseur, oh, bondage! up yours!, typical girls, walkabout

As soon as Parquet Courts dropped their new album in 2018, I was all ears. The New York band have always been prolific, and political, but this album more than any other was responding very directly to the times. When frontman Andrew Savage joined me for the Take 5, I knew what to do. Spouting strong messages throughout his own music, I gave him the theme “songs to rally around”. Music that, lyrically or sonically, conjured a sense of activism, agency, and creativity in him. From Crass to Tyvek, Funkadelic to Fela Kuti, you can hear the spirit of Parquet Courts in all of these brilliant choices. Crass - 'Banned From the Roxy' Funkadelic - 'Standing On The Verge of Getting It On' Tyvek - 'Buildings Burning' Melvin Van Peebles - 'Come On Feet' Fela Kuti - 'Unnecessary Begging'

We are excited to have Andrew Savage of LimeBike with us in the studio, fresh off of their investment by Alphabet and partnership with Uber. LimeBike is at the forefront of addressing the “last mile” issue: 60 percent of trips people take in vehicles are under one mile and 40 percent of these trips are under 2 miles, yet our cities have been built around making those trips by personal automobile. We know those trips aren’t efficient, aren’t good for the environment and create tons of congestion. Tune in for Andrew’s view on the “last mile” and more in the mobility space. The relationship between mobility technology companies and public transit agencies: "We have a very large program in Dallas, we’ve been working with DART, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit, in the Bay Area we’ve been working with BART and Caltrain, we think there’s an incredible synergy between the work that we’re doing, which is the sort of microtransit, and the work of mass transit. And bringing those two things together, we really think we can solve the urban problem of the first and last mile." What’s driving the popularity of electric scooters: "Electric scooters are really interesting, we have a charging program where in many markets, up to 80% of our scooters are being charged in a crowd-sourced way from people within the community, so we will pay people to pick up the scooters at the end of the night, we’ll have an app for that side of the business, and we’ll pay them to be what we call “juicers”, and they go home, plug in 1, 2, 5 or 10 scooters and then redeploy them with our guidance and guidelines the next day, so we, for a major part of our operation, will be able to use folks within the community and actually that’s additional resources in the community’s pockets as well." Safety and rideshares: "Safety is a top priority for us. We have a lot of information on our product in our app and website on how to operate scooters and bikes safely, wearing helmets, choosing the right place to ride. I think an important conversation that we have with city leaders is, how can we give you data so that we can show you where protected lanes would be most beneficial, and how can we show you where people are turning left and turning right in the community where you actually could add infrastructure improvements to make riding and scooting safer." Andrew’s journey to Lime as an entrepreneur in the cleantech space: "I did do a stint on Capitol Hill where I was working on energy and cleantech issues as well as in communications, two years during the Bush administration and two years during the Obama administration, so very fascinating times. I spent the beginning time of my career working both in politics and in government and then shifted over to the cleantech space working as a Chief Strategy Officer for a solar company and I came into this current position a little bit by chance. I was actually looking for positions in solar and stumbled across Toby and Brad, who prior to starting Lime were thinking about what kind of team do we need to put together to make this a success. We jumped in together, I moved out to the Bay Area from Vermont, and here we are." LimeBike and Uber’s strategic partnership: "The Uber partnership is particularly exciting because what it will allow us to do is access and be available to far more people, more ubiquitously in cities across the US and increase internationally. As we expand internationally across Europe and other parts of the world, it’s more exciting because people can now go on the uber app and decide whether they should take a car or a scooter, what we’ve found is that if you’re downtown in the city and you open up Google Maps and look at the drive time of a mile and a half trip, you’re actually going to find that being on a bike or scooter is much faster than a car. So we are really excited for this partnership because we think people will realize how valuable it is, how much lower cost it is and how efficient it is and the environment implications as well." Andrew’s vision for smart regulatory action within the transportation industry: "We view the idea of saying “you can put X number of scooters or bikes in the community as sort of an absolute number”, as really a backwards approach. You never see that regarding cars. So let’s cap the number of cars in a community before we cap the number of bikes. We are nowhere near the need, or nowhere near the saturation of what we would need in the community to solve the problems, so either no cap or a dynamic cap, and what that means is if we have bikes and scooters being widely used, being used multiple times a day by people in the community, let’s not cap it until it gets to the point where there are enough." "We actually do like minimum numbers of fleet size, because without a minimum number you really can’t operate an effective and efficient system. You won’t have the operations staff on the ground to be able to run a good program, so we do think a minimum makes more sense than a type of cap. One other thing we work with cities on is performance standards around operations and our response time, those are all things we can do, we actually work proactively with a number of 311 system within cities, so that we could tap right into their systems and be as responsive as possible, so it’s not that hard to think about what are responsible regulations, and we think cities are going to get there." The role of transportation in increasing economic equality: "The equity component of what we are doing is a critical part of our mission and is one we’ve been able to really demonstrate work, so a perfect example is we’ve been in Seattle for a year, we’ve had a million rides in Seattle last year, we’ve replaced a dock-based program up there, and that dock based program was available like most programs only to downtown, the financial district, the wealthy neighborhoods or tourism locations. That’s not where most people live, that’s not where low income people live."

Rumor has it that the new Parquet Courts record could drop at any moment. Like any fan, I can't wait to see what the new music will be like. The new record was produced by the legendary Danger Mouse. I hung out with guitarist and vocalist Andrew Savage (who also releases solo music under the name A. Savage) backstage at the Vogue Theatre while he rolled some cigarettes--or "jazz cigarettes" as he calls them. It was a warm late summer September evening and the band were in town touring the 5th record, Human Performance. I had just come from Vancouver's Wreck Beach--the city's nude beach--so naturally I started our chat by asking Andrew the last time he had been to a nude beach himself... How was the band's border crossing? Does Andrew has any priors? What are they? Does Andrew risk setting off a fire alarm to smoke his jazz cigarette? Which band member suffers from "misophonia" and what is it? Do the co-writers in Parquet Courts ask each other what the other's songs are about? What's it like to try something different with the band's sound? Which Parquet Courts song does Andrew feel is the closest thing to the band's manifesto? What's it like to play music while high on acid, mushrooms, molly and some DMT? You'll have to listen to find out! Tracks played on the radio edit of the show... 1) Parquet Courts, Human Performance (2016) "Berlin Got Blurry" 2) Parquet Courts, Human Performance (2016) "Captive of the Sun" 3) Parquet Courts, Human Performance (2016) "Human Performance" 4) Parquet Courts, Light Up Gold (2012) "Light Up Gold II" 5) Parquet Courts, Sunbathing Animal (2014) "Sunbathing Animal" (background/snippet) 6) Parquet Courts, Light Up Gold (2012) "Stoned and Starving" NO songs CANCON

with Lee Kleinman (@LeeForDallas), Joshua Schank (@joshuaschank), Andrew Savage, and Hanne Tidnam (@omnivorousread) There's a new wave of bike-sharing in town. But this wave looks a little different than previous waves -- from docked rows of government-funded bikes to dockless fleets of bicycles where users can find and unlock bikes through GPS from anywhere, with an app. What can we learn from previous (unsuccessful and successful) waves, what are the challenges in making bike sharing a real, viable transport option? What does bike sharing data reveal about human travel patterns? And how might dockless bike-sharing change, maybe even reshape, cities of the future? This episode of the a16z Podcast -- including city of Dallas councilmember Lee Kleinman, chairman of their Mobility Solutions, Infrastructure, and Sustainability Committee; Joshua Shank, CIO at the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority; and Andrew Savage, vice president of strategic development at LimeBike; in conversation with a16z's Hanne Tidnam -- looks at the trend of dockless bike sharing in cities. image credit: Joe Wolf/ Flickr The views expressed here are those of the individual AH Capital Management, L.L.C.

I couldn't really associate one band or project soley to Andrew Savage - because I know him first and foremost through Fergus & Geronimo, many others will identify his jangly, wondering lyrics from Parquet Courts, while OGs would say Wiccans or Teenage Cool Kids. Like many a guest on 'The House List', Savage is a multi-tasking artist/owner - his record label Dull Tools is a cottage-industry of smart, innovative new rock n roll records - that he also art-directs and illustrates all the packaging for. It's where his most recent, debut solo album is coming out on. We talk about it all in a fun, candid chat - you should subscribe to this podcast when you're done! Thanks!

Joe Casey of Protomartyr and Andrew Savage of Parquet Courts are two of modern rock’s most intelligent, biting lyricists. The two friends and mutual admirers sat down earlier this year to talk about writing highly personal lyrics about people they love, how Tyvek are “the Michigan Talking Heads," having ideas that are good in theory, and, in a followup to a piece Casey wrote for The Talkhouse, why they’d rather be compared to their peers than bands from the past.

Andrew Savage from the band @Parquet-Courts joins me this week. Listen as he sails a Bob Seger reference way over my head, talks music school, what it’s like as a DIY band playing festivals and large venues, and much much more. Parquet Courts' most recent album "Human Performance" is out now on @roughtraderecords.
Land Lobster — The Bingers Chicago’s own retro-inspired garage rockers The Bingers have been landing their tunes in everything lately, from James Franco films to ads for Veuve Clicquot and HUF skateboard apparel. Bones — Michael Kiwanuka British soul musician Michael Kiwanuka channels decades of soul, rock and R&B inspiration into his music. All Your Yeahs — Beach House We’re looking forward to seeing indie dream pop band Beach House back in Chicago for the Pitchfork Music Festival this summer. Kachina Doll — Teenage Cool Kids Before Parquet Courts came around, there was bandleader Andrew Savage’s Denton, Texas-originating Teenage Cool Kids, with similarly excellent Americana post-punk rock. Time Away from Home — Summer Salt These mellow retro-pop/indie rockers are from Austin, Texas and recently played a show in Chicago with The Walters (friends of The Orwells). Hey Bulldog — The Beatles This wonderfully underplayed rocking gem from the “Yellow Submarine” soundtrack is always a treat to stumble upon. The Slider — Ty Segall King of California punk fuzz Ty Segall recently released an album of all T. Rex covers that rock incredibly hard. Heart Don’t Know — Jimmy Whispers Jimmy Whispers is one of the Chicago indie scene’s most interesting musicians and exciting performers today, recently making a splash in Europe. Deep Web — Magic Potion It’s always fun to stumble across great European indie music like Magic Potion from Stockholm, Sweden. El Loco Cha Cha Cha — René Touzet Those familiar chords at the beginning were in fact the inspiration for “Louie Louie” in the 50s.

It's a micro-trend in the micro-brew business to go solar, with breweries nationwide becoming advocates for sustainability. And AllEarth Renewables, a Vermont-based solar tracker manufacturer and developer of solar projects, is becoming a go-to solar firm for breweries in the Northeast, with installations at The Alchemist, Woodchuck Cider and Maine Beer Company. In this Solar Speaks podcast, Andrew Savage, chief strategy officer at AllEarth, discusses the business side of breweries going solar. He talks about the bankability of beer makers, the importance of virtual net metering and how other EPCs should approach breweries with project proposals.
This week we interviewed Ciera Eastin. She left the game in episode 10 of Survivor Cambodia.

Listen to this interview to find out what "rookie mistake" hurt her in the beginning of the game, her secret to managing an alliance with Abi, how she'll decide who gets her final vote and more!
