(14:50) What I think I do have is when there is a problem, I have to solve it.Dog food is going green, thanks to Anne Carlson and her groundbreaking company, Jiminy's. By replacing traditional animal proteins with cricket protein, Anne has not only created a superfood for pets but also a solution to reduce the environmental impact of pet nutrition. “It's like flipping a switch,” Anne explained. “One day, you're feeding your dog something traditional and unsustainable. The next, you're using Jiminy's—less land, less water, and almost no greenhouse gases.”Cricket farming is remarkably efficient. Anne highlighted that an acre of land used for crickets can yield 65,000 pounds of protein annually, compared to just 265 pounds from chickens. Plus, crickets require significantly less water, a vital factor as global resources become scarcer.Not just eco-friendly, Jiminy's products are a boon for canine health. “Insect protein is packed with medium-chain fatty acids, antimicrobial peptides, and chitin,” Anne noted. “It helps dogs with allergies, gut health issues and even boosts immunity.”Jiminy's also recently completed a successful crowdfunding campaign on SMBX to raise working capital, a move Anne described as “an experiment.” Reflecting on the process, she noted the potential for even greater success with more effort on social media and outreach.Anne's journey began with a pivotal conversation with her daughter about climate change, sparking her mission to make a difference. Today, Jiminy's is not just feeding pets—it's paving the way for a more sustainable planet.How to Develop Relentless Problem Solving As a SuperpowerAnne's superpower is her unwavering drive to solve problems, fueled by curiosity and determination. “When there is a problem, I have to solve it,” she shared. Her passion for connecting the dots through research and science has driven her to create innovative solutions, from Jiminy's to personal projects.Anne tackled a personal challenge when she and her husband renovated a cabin in the Sierra foothills. Starting with limited resources and an empty shell, they creatively repurposed materials from remodeled Bay Area homes, constructing a unique space that blended sustainability and affordability.Tips for Developing Relentless Problem Solving:* Ask Questions: Dig deep to truly understand the problem.* Stay Curious: Keep your mind open to unexpected solutions.* Embrace Research: Dive into the details to uncover opportunities.* Persist: When obstacles arise, explore alternative paths.By following Anne Carlson's example and advice, you can make relentless problem-solving a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

It's helped me throughout my life. It's being persistent.Reducing carbon footprints is more than a buzzword; it's a critical step toward sustainability. Today's episode featured Abdullah Choudhry, Co-Founder and Chief Impact Officer of Arbor, who shared how their groundbreaking technology is reshaping carbon accounting.Abdullah explained that traditional spend-based methods for calculating carbon footprints are often inaccurate, leading to misleading conclusions. Arbor's innovative approach dives deep into the value chain, enabling businesses to measure carbon footprints with unprecedented precision. “Every business is just all about its products and services,” Abdullah said. “Being super accurate at a value chain level is how we're going to change society and the economy as a whole towards a lower carbon footprint.”Arbor's technology is already empowering companies, large and small, to design sustainable products from the ground up. Its self-service platform is a game changer, making advanced tools accessible to small businesses. Abdullah emphasized the importance of democratizing sustainability efforts: “We just want you to start on this journey with us, and we are willing to meet you wherever you are.”This episode highlighted Arbor's potential to drive transformative change, connecting sustainability practices with actionable data. For businesses looking to align with eco-conscious values, Arbor offers an affordable, practical solution.In fact, to help me test the Arbor system, Abdullah's colleague Omer Amar helped me analyze the insect protein-based dog food from Jiminy's. The founder of the company, Anne Carlson, will be a guest on my show in a few weeks. In preparation, we ran Jiminy's dog food through the Arbor system to confirm that the product has a significantly lower carbon footprint than a traditional, competing product.tl;dr:* Abdullah Choudhry shared Arbor's cutting-edge tools for precise carbon accounting across product value chains.* The discussion highlighted Arbor's mission to democratize sustainability tools for small and large businesses.* Abdullah's personal journey illustrated the transformative power of persistence and creative problem-solving.* Practical advice was shared on how to calculate carbon footprints using Arbor's self-service platform.* Abdullah encouraged listeners to adopt data-driven decisions for a sustainable future, emphasizing shared responsibility.How to Develop Persistence As a SuperpowerAbdullah attributes his success to persistence. By staying determined, even when resources were limited, he tackled challenges head-on, achieving goals others might have abandoned.As a Pakistani student in the U.S., Abdullah faced steep tuition costs. Unable to cover $35,000 annually through jobs alone, he creatively combined science, engineering, and entrepreneurial skills. By helping a friend sell furniture in New York, Abdullah met his financial needs, demonstrating persistence paired with ingenuity.Tips for Developing Persistence:* Use first principles thinking to clarify your goals and decisions.* Learn from failure; treat it as a stepping stone for growth.* Stay open to new information and adapt when logic or evidence suggests a better path.By following Abdullah's example and advice, you can make persistence a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

"Even though it's not an easy idea, it was an idea that had to happen and I felt like I needed to make it happen." —Anne Carlson As pet owners, we want to ensure that our furry friends are getting the best nutrition possible. Unfortunately, animal proteins used in many pet treats are not only unsustainable and cruel to animals and the environment, but also contain pathogens that can harm our pet's health, especially if they have allergies and gut issues. With today's continued efforts to promote general sustainable practices, it is important for us as pet owners to align ourselves with the same philosophies. As conscientious fur parents, we must do our part to find sustainable treats for our pets that are both good for them and the planet. That's why Jiminy's created an option for pet owners who want to give their furry friends a treat without compromising on their values. With the leadership of Anne Carlson, Jiminy's is dedicated to making a conscious effort to create cricket protein-based treats which can provide all the nutrition our pet needs while also solving animal cruelty issues. With research and partnership with experts, Anne and her team are unlocking the amazing potential health benefits held by these buggers! Join in as Justine and Anne talk about the benefits of insect protein to our fur babies, the impact of animals to our planet, how business owners can realize their dream of making an impact on the world, how to sustain company growth, and Jiminy's exciting developments to look out for. Meet Anne: Anne has spent her entire career working with consumer brands across many categories, however her passion is the pet category. She worked for fortune 500 companies as well as start ups, including Secant, a business she sold to IRI in 2006. Anne currently has two rescue pups at home, a Great Dane named Derby and a lab / border collie mix named Tuco. You can describe Anne as a retired marathon runner, new pilates junky, and a film lover.
