The Blue Dot Project is an exciting program within PSI, and I'm thrilled for today's guest to share it with us. We will learn about the project's details and how you can get involved. The goal of the program is to provide the necessary resources and professionals for mothers and families during the perinatal period, so that everyone can access the support they need. Their brand-new initiative, The Blue Dot Safe Spot, is already helping people and saving lives—and it's just getting started! Join us to learn more! Laura Killgore began her career in early childhood development, serving as a preschool teacher and curriculum director for 10 years. She has a passion for child development and parent education. She married her husband in 2016, and their daughter was born two years later. Following a traumatic birth and an emergency C-section, Laura experienced postpartum depression, anxiety, and OCD. A few months after her daughter's birth, she had the opportunity to tap into her creative side as a social media manager and branding expert for 2020 Mom, now the Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health, Mom Congress, and The Blue Dot Project. As a longtime advocate, Laura has joined Mom Congress in Washington, DC, on multiple occasions to speak with legislators about her personal experiences and help pass several bills and acts to better support moms and families nationwide. In 2023, the Blue Dot Project transitioned to its new home within Postpartum Support International. Laura is now a full-time PSI employee focusing on the Blue Dot, growing the brand through awareness, and helping to end the stigma and shame surrounding perinatal mental health. In Laura's free time, you can find her listening to or watching true crime podcasts or shows, camping with her family, and exploring her beautiful home state of Oregon.  Show Highlights: Laura's story of becoming a mom and beginning her involvement with The Blue Dot Project  A traumatic birth, emergency C-section, and a fuzzy, detached feeling New family challenges when she and her husband both lost their jobs when their daughter was three weeks old A flurry of diagnoses that explained some of what Laura had experienced since childhood, even OCD and bipolar disorder Laura's work with 2020 Mom while going through postpartum problems The beginnings and evolution of The Blue Dot Project The new iteration of The Blue Dot Project, The Blue Dot Safe Spot, which focuses on training support staff who interact with moms/families during the perinatal period The Blue Dot Safe Spot answers the “Now, what?” question for people who need more perinatal support.

Episode 218 - The Pencil's Tale - Five Lessons Every Dad Should Share and Teach Their KidsThe story itself appears to be an anonymous parable, sometimes called "The Pencil Maker's Parable," but has been attributed to adaptors such as Jimmy Reed and featured in inspirational columns and children's teachings.Here is the tale:The Pencils Tale. Once upon a time, an old pencil maker took his newest pencil aside just before he was about to pack him into a box. Imagining the little fellow as a person, he recalled a few things about the pencil. There are five things you need to know, he said to his pencil, before I send you out into the world. Always remember these five things. Never forget them and you will become the best pencil you can be. The first thing is to remember that you will be able to do many great things, but only if you put yourself in someone else's hands. From time to time you will experience a painful sharpening, but remember that this will make you a better pencil. Also, keep in mind that you will be able to correct any mistakes you might make along the way. The most important part of you is what's on the inside. And remember this as well. Upon every surface that you are used, you must leave your mark. No matter what else happens, you must continue to write.It seemed the pencil listened to him and promised he would remember these five things, so that he could live his life with heart and purpose. You see in life, in your life, put yourself in someone else's hand. Embrace challenges for growth. Learn from mistakes, value inner qualities and leave a positive mark on the world. And you too can become the best pencil there is. This was the pencils taleApplying the Story to Dads and Families"The Pencil's Tale" offers simple, profound lessons that resonate for dads at every stage of parenting. By sharing this parable with children, fathers model the values of humility, resilience, and purpose. The pencil's journey provides a natural metaphor for growth, learning, and character—qualities every dad hopes to nurture in their kids.Key Lessons Dads Can Teach from the TaleAcceptance of Guidance: The pencil succeeds by allowing itself to be guided. Likewise, dads can teach children that everyone benefits from mentors, family, and friends. Being open to support leads to doing great things.Embracing Challenges and Growth: Like sharpening a pencil, life's difficulties shape us. Dads can explain that painful experiences (hard lessons, discipline, setbacks) help us grow stronger and better, no matter our age.Learning from Mistakes: Erasers let us fix errors, and so can honesty and forgiveness. Teaching kids that mistakes aren't final—and can be corrected—empowers them to try again and learn without fear.Valuing What's Inside: The most important part of a person (or pencil) is what's inside: character, kindness, and integrity. Dads can emphasize that inner qualities matter more than outside appearances.Leaving a Positive Mark: Everyone leaves a mark in the world—through actions, words, and kindness. Encouraging children to be intentional about the impact they make helps them live a life with purpose.By retelling this parable, dads foster meaningful conversations about values, resilience, and making a difference, while building trust and deeper bonds with their families.___https://dadspace.camusic provided by Blue Dot...

At the EUVC Summit 2025, the “Impact Leader of the Year” award went to a voice that's impossible to ignore—and equally impossible to copy.Hampus Jakobsson, General Partner at Pale Blue Dot, was honored for his relentless push to bring urgency, clarity, and conviction to climate investing.The award, presented by Google Cloud, recognized not just a fund or a firm, but a force in the ecosystem—someone who has helped reshape the narrative on impact itself.As Google Cloud put it:“Innovation isn't just the next feature. It's about who's solving the world's most pressing challenges.”What Hampus and the Pale Blue Dot team have done is create a space—both intellectually and practically—that brings together VCs, LPs, founders, and operators who actually want to build things that matter.From climate investing as a sector (not a virtue), to challenging LPs who see ESG as a checkbox, to advocating for clarity over carbon offsetting theatre—Hampus has never opted for the easy soundbite.When he came back to the stage to accept the award, Hampus didn't offer a speech. Just a sharp observation—about his T-shirt:“Some smart people noticed my T-shirt today. It's not the Zuckerberg one that says ‘We need more emperors.' It's the one that says—‘We need fewer emperors.'”Because that's the vibe:Less ego.Less bluster.More building.More impact.Hampus leads not with scale, but with substance.Not with "thought leadership", but with actual thought.He reminds the ecosystem that climate investing is:UrgentSmartPotentially enormousAnd yes, a little uncomfortable—because it means changing how capital behavesCongratulations to Hampus Jakobsson—Impact Leader of the Year.Let's keep turning clarity into action.

When Hampus Jakobsson and Romain Diaz took the stage at EUVC Summit 2025, the conversation wasn't about convincing people that climate matters. That part's done.This was about the harder bit:→ How do we fund the climate transition without compromising ambition?→ How do we handle LPs who see impact as indulgence, or carbon reporting as box-ticking?→ And how do we build conviction-led portfolios in a world that wants both velocity and virtue?One of the most powerful reframes came from Hampus:“Climate is like mobile or AI—it's not a virtue, it's a vertical. The difference is: in AI, we don't know the problem. In climate, we do—we're just figuring out the solutions.”That means climate investing is not philanthropy. It's not reputation management. It's venture—with a horizon, a thesis, and real outcomes.“If you're just looking to carbon offset with our fund, I'm fairly uncomfortable taking your money.”As Romain and Hampus both pointed out, climate LPs today fall into three broad groups:Impact-maximizers – want carbon reporting, ESG scoring, metrics.Return-seekers – want DPI, not data tables.Narrative-driven LPs – want the signal value of “being in climate.”A good fund has to navigate all three—with alignment being more valuable than agreement.“We had an LP walk away from Fund I because we wouldn't do their carbon reporting. And we were okay with that.”Instead, Pale Blue Dot found alignment with LPs like IIP, the pension fund for Denmark's nurses:“I sometimes ask myself—will this startup help deliver a pension to Danish nurses in 10 years? That's the kind of alignment I want.”From methane-reducing agtech to fintech disruptors, the pair underscored the importance of building for what the world will need—not just what it rewards today.“We're backing founders who are asking: will this still make sense in 2050?”The subtext: stop treating the climate transition as a hypothetical. It's already here. And it's reshaping everything from agriculture to infrastructure to insurance.“We don't need everyone to believe. We just need to keep showing portfolio wins. The returns—and the reality—will take care of the rest.”The closing message from Romain and Hampus was clear:We don't need more virtue. We need more velocity.Velocity in:Deploying capitalBacking bold foundersScaling actual solutionsAnd reshaping LP mindsets—one fund, one return, one story at a timeThe climate transition isn't waiting. Neither should we.Climate Is Not a Virtue Signal—It's a SectorThe Tension: Impact vs Reporting vs ReturnsOn Methane, Neobanks & the Year 2050Climate Investing Is Growing Up
