Have you ever wondered how entrepreneurial drive can transform not just industries, but entire systems like finance and climate action? This episode of The Angel Next Door Podcast prompts listeners to consider the power of innovation in addressing some of society's most pressing challenges, especially when those challenges are as broad-reaching as the climate crisis and personal wealth management. The guest for this episode is Bonnie Gurry, a mechanical engineer-turned-entrepreneur with a background in R&D, finance, and venture capital. Bonnie shares her journey from cleanroom engineering to the world of climate fintech, detailing how her personal frustration around aligning investments with her climate values led her to found Green Portfolio—a digital advisory service focused on helping individuals effortlessly decarbonize their investments and find like-minded financial advisors. Throughout the conversation, Bonnie demystifies what it means for regular investors to align their money with their values, highlighting how bank choices and investment accounts can significantly impact the environment—often much more than daily lifestyle changes. The episode covers practical steps, like using Green Portfolio's tools to evaluate climate impact and matches with specialized sustainable financial advisors, and explores broader trends, such as the upcoming generational wealth transfer and the distinct needs and mindsets of women and next-gen investors. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in actionable ways to make their wealth a vehicle for positive change, as well as those curious about the intersection of entrepreneurship, finance, and impact.   To get the latest from Bonnie Gurry, you can follow her below! https://www.linkedin.com/in/bonniegurry/ https://greenportfolio.com/   Sign up for Marcia's newsletter to receive tips and the latest on Angel Investing!

Patients are already asking AI the questions they cannot always ask their doctors. That creates enormous opportunity, but also real risk. AI can help people organize complex medical information, prepare for appointments, and better understand their health. It can also sound completely certain when the evidence is weak or the answer is wrong. In this live episode of Bendy Bodies, host Dr. Linda Bluestein speaks with Michael Turken, MD, an internist at UCSF and founder of My Doctor Friend, an AI health companion designed to support patients navigating medical complexity. Dr. Turken explores the growing gap between what patients need from healthcare and what traditional systems can realistically provide, especially between appointments. He explains where AI may help fill that gap, where it can go wrong, and why these tools should support rather than replace the patient-physician relationship. The conversation includes practical strategies for connecting medical records to AI platforms, checking what an AI model actually understands about your health history, keeping that information accurate and current, and recognizing situations where AI may be less reliable, particularly when the science itself is still evolving. Takeaways: AI chatbots are not healthcare providers, and many are not subject to HIPAA protections in the same way healthcare organizations and covered entities are. AI can sound highly confident even when its answer is incomplete, overly reassuring, or wrong. The conversation includes discussion of AI sycophancy, in which a model may reinforce a user's assumptions or provide reassuring responses rather than appropriately challenging them. If you connect your medical records to an AI platform, periodically ask it to summarize what it believes about your diagnoses, medications, major medical events, and current health history. This can help uncover outdated, missing, or incorrect information. AI may be particularly useful in addressing the gap between what patients want from healthcare, such as the ability to ask questions at any hour, organize complex information, and prepare for appointments, and what traditional healthcare systems can currently provide. For medically complex patients, the quality of an AI answer depends heavily on the quality, completeness, and accuracy of the information the model is using.

Hello! This is Episode 418. This is Way #18 of the ‘44 Ways to Create Your Sustainable Home’ series. And this episode completes Section Four: Modelling and Measuring Your Sustainability. Across this series, we’ve talked a lot about energy efficiency, and how, as we improve energy efficiency, we reduce energy use, which in turn reduces the carbon emissions associated with energy production. At the same time, we’ve got better at measuring the embodied carbon in construction. Embodied carbon represents the greenhouse gas emissions associated with extracting and creating materials, and construction and deconstruction itself. This is the carbon footprint of the home, and it’s increasingly being seen as the required area of focus to reduce the impact this industry has on the climate. Way #18 is: Measure Your Home’s Carbon Footprint. [For all resources mentioned in this podcast and a free, downloadable PDF transcript, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/418] In this episode, I take you through what operational and embodied carbon mean, why embodied carbon is becoming an increasingly significant part of the picture, and, if your carbon footprint is a sustainability consideration for your renovation or building project, what you can do about it during design, and the conversations to have with your team. As always, if you'd like to access a full transcript of this episode and links to any resources I mention, head to www.undercoverarchitect.com/418. Now, let's dive in!

The health care sector is responsible for 8.5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States and around 4.6 percent globally. This gives clinicians and healthcare delivery systems the potential power to both improve patient care through better, less polluting delivery and improve global health by mitigating climate change. Jared Radbel, MD, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Emily Brigham, MD, MHS, University of British Columbia, and host Erika Moseson, MD, MA discuss a new report by the ATS on how health care facilities and the practice of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine generate emissions and ways we can lessen their environmental impact. Read the full report: https://academic.oup.com/annalsats/article/23/6/837/8524737 This is part one of a two-part discussion so tune in next week for the conclusion.

Plastic Bottles & Summer Vacations – Ann Marie (Canela) Chock, Head of Niagara Cares, the Philanthropic Arm of Niagara Water, America's Largest Water Bottler   "We were the first to lightweight our bottles. So, if you think about a typical bottle of soda, it's about 27 grams of plastic. Our bottles, this year, I think they're coming in at 6.6 grams …We've created label-less bottles so they're easier to recycle. …We're now running lines that are entirely recycled content. So we are very committed to creating bottles that that do not harm the planet, and also that allow for the most circular of products while we also think about what the bottle of the future might look like." Ann Marie (Canela) Chock on Electric Ladies Podcast Summer vacations tend to include a lot of plastic bottles - at the beach, in the car, at the airport. In 2025, people consumed an astonishing 500+ billion plastic bottles. That's about1 million plastic bottles per minute! Drinking water is good for you, but how do we deal with all that plastic? What's the responsibility of the bottling company for all that plastic?   Listen to Ann Marie (Canela) Chock, Head of Niagara Cares and Director of Corporate Giving at Niagara Water in this fascinating and candid conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. (Note: This was recorded before she got married and changed her name to Chock.)   You'll hear about: ●        How bottled water gets to your local market, ●        How Niagara Water dramatically reduced the plastic content of its bottles and is taking steps to improve recycling. ●        Where corporate philanthropy is focused at this tumultuous moment when so many government grants were abruptly cancelled. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   "I think the best thing you can do is define you first….what your values are at this time, and have been for probably since you were a child. And some definition to what your purpose is in the world….The second one I think is.…I would just encourage, especially midcareer women to think, 'what if the things that were right for you, you knew they were right for you because they were easy, not hard?' Because they came to you in a way that felt aligned versus you're scrapping and fighting for them.…Hard work is a core of success, but it's not the only way to get there.…So what if we considered things that came to us and were at our feet as the right path for us to go down?"

AI is changing the way we work, but using it wisely is key to getting real value!  In this conversation, Nathan and Scott talk about Anthropic's Fable model and how AI tools can help with complex tasks, improve productivity, and support better decision-making. The conversation highlights the importance of choosing the right AI model for the right job instead of using powerful tools for every task.  Another important topic discussed is the environmental impact of AI. Nathan and Scott discuss how responsible AI use can help reduce unnecessary energy use by selecting efficient models, reviewing AI habits, and planning tasks at better times.  The discussion also explores the challenges organizations face when adopting AI. They explain that successful AI adoption is not just about buying new technology but about developing the right strategy, training teams, and ensuring AI supports the organization's goals.  They also highlight the importance of human-AI collaboration, where people and technology work together to achieve better results. As AI continues to develop rapidly, staying up to date, testing new tools, and using AI responsibly will help organizations make the most of this growing technology.  HIGHLIGHTS [02:40] Discussion on Anthropic's Fable model  [08:45] Environmental Impact of AI  [10:17] Model Routing and AI Adoption  [19:06] Human-AI Collaboration and Organizational Adaptation  [28:15] The Emperor's New Clothes Analogy and AI Adoption Challenges  [31:35] Conclusion  Connect with Nathan and Scott:  LinkedIn (Nathan): linkedin.com/in/nathanchappell/  LinkedIn (Scott): linkedin.com/in/scott-rosenkrans  Website: fundraising.ai/  Nonprofit AI: A Comprehensive Guide to Implementing Artificial Intelligence for Social Good:   amazon.com/Nonprofit-Comprehensive-Implementing-Artificial-Intelligence-ebook  The Article I Kept Not Writing: linkedin.com/pulse/article-i-kept-writing-nathan-chappell

Critical Minerals, Energy and A.I. – Liv Carroll, Critical Minerals Expert, former Managing Director - EMEA Mining Lead and Global Natural Resources Lead for Data & A.I. at Accenture   "The energy transition is certainly where critical minerals started, but now we're obviously supporting all of the digital technology and the AI infrastructure such as data centers and others…now, there are conversations addressing the minerals required to feed this ginormous population of over 8 billion that we have because that is actually not possible without mining certain minerals that then go into the fertilizers to ensure that we have sufficient yields to feed the population of the planet…There's another factor as well as them being at risk of a supply shock." Liv Carroll on Electric Ladies Podcast   There are uses of critical minerals that we may not think about, such as how they are critical to our food supply. Now we have a huge need for them with the rapid expansion of data centers and A.I. as well as the rest of our electronics, appliances, computers, automobiles, weaponry and aircraft. But they are also at the mercy of geopolitical and economic forces, and the climate. What do we need to know? Listen to Liv Carroll, a top critical minerals expert for over 20 years who recently served as Managing Director - EMEA Mining Lead and Global Natural Resources Lead for Data & A.I. at Accenture in this illuminating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. Liv has also served on the board of Women in Mining and on the board of the Global Mining Guidelines group for many years. You'll hear about: ●        How critical minerals are vital to our food supply for this massive population. ●        Where and how critical mineral supplies are at the mercy of geopolitical and economic forces, as well as climate change. ●        The role of critical minerals in "responsible A.I."….and so much more. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   "I think it's really important to gather along the way a number of people that you feel it's not just that they wave a flag for you and they're a cheerleader, but you feel that they seriously, they see you, you don't have to explain yourself for what you meant by something that you said to them…the people who really get you, you don't have to elaborate.… And they are often not in the company you are working in at the moment.  They could in fact be a boss from a previous company….The other piece of advice I would say is continue adding strings to your bow. And they might not be the strings that you think you would want or need, but as you get into later stages in your career, they're the strings that will stand you apart."

In this new episode of the On The Way podcast, Jessica Mercuriali, co-founder of Pawa Energy, looks back on his career and shares his vision of a cleaner energy for events.Did you know that today in France, more than 90% of temporary events still rely on thermal generators? After fifteen years in marketing and business, including ten at Microsoft between France and Seattle, Jessica decided at the end of 2023 to leave everything. In 2024, she founded Pawa Energy with her brother, a former chief operator.Their idea is to offer an alternative for rental: eco-friendly batteries, zero emissions, zero noise, zero odor. A solution designed to replace conventional generators for temporary events. The flagship product, the Pawa Battery, delivers 36 kW of power and 100 kWh of energy in a compact pallet format. And most importantly, with a carbon impact up to 80 times lower than an equivalent generator. The battery is based on LFP (lithium, iron, phosphate) technology, nickel and cobalt-free, manufactured in France with two industrial partners: Olenergie in Bagnolet and Mute Energy in Tourcoing. Mute energy even gives a second life to electric vehicle batteries to design the Pawa Mini, a more compact format. In this episode, Jessica looks back at the first customers from the events and sports sectors (Boulogne half-marathon, festivals, food trucks), the cultural obstacles encountered in the field, and the lack of "premium green".In fact, switching to a cleaner alternative does not cost more than a conventional generator. And that changes everything.

The aviation industry has gotten twice as fuel-efficient since 1990, and emissions have still quadrupled. In this episode, we reckon with the guilt of flying, tracing it from economy class all the way up to private jets, where a handful of ultra-wealthy passengers emit up to 500 times more carbon than the average person annually. Plus, we dig into sustainable aviation fuel with Alyssa Norris from Aether Fuels and what it would actually take to make flying something we don't have to feel guilty about. Episode rundown: (00:35) - Should we feel guilty about flying? (03:12) - Our flying footprint (05:17) - Reckoning with guilty consciences (09:52) - What is SAF and why aren't all planes using it? (27:19) - Following the money from private jets to economy (37:08) - Individual actions for systemic change

Chuck Collins is the Director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies, where he co-edits Inequality.org. His newest book is “Burned By Billionaires: How Concentrated Wealth and Power Ae Ruining Our Lives and Planet” Inequality is a major problem . Humans daily lives are being disrupted by people with immense power in the areas of health, wellbeing, environment, housing costs, and democracy    The Second Gilded Age and Robber Barons perpetuate the myth of the Trickle-Down Theory.  The middle Class is shrinking, and Project 2025 wants to gut labor unions, eliminate child labor laws, and decimate workplace safety.   Big money robs Americans of their vote and voice. The UN can play a critical role in convening its members to develop standards to limit corruption, money laundering, and offshore banking, along with the G-20 countries moving forward more rapidly with their Global Wealth Tax.

This explosive opening segment exposes how meat production is accelerating climate collapse through biodiversity loss, deforestation, land misuse, and ocean dead zones. #AnimalAgriculture #ClimateCrisis #PlanetaryHealth

"Critical minerals and materials…are essential for key economic and national security technologies that help to fuel great sectors in the United States and around the world…We're at a very interesting point in the United States for critical minerals and materials because the US Geological Survey… just released their draft version of their newly updated critical minerals list…(But) they're very difficult to come by. And for a lot of these materials, they are mined as byproducts and co-products. They're used in incredibly low volumes, and so it's very difficult for companies to sort of make money on producing them, which in the United States, of course, to get anybody to do anything they need to be able to make a profit…China has been able to dominate this space and establish a stranglehold over many of these types of supply chains for these different commodities."  Abby Wulf on Electric Ladies Podcast Critical minerals are foundational to all our technologies, from computers to automobiles, weaponry and national security, among others, but they are also scarce and difficult to procure, especially in the volumes needed. So, what are they and what can we do? Listen to Abby Wulf, a top critical minerals expert who recently left the Department of Energy as head of Critical Minerals in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. Abby previously served as the founding Executive Director of the Center for Critical Minerals at the nonprofit SAFE.   You'll hear about: ●        What critical minerals are, what makes them "critical," and where they come from. ●        How critical mineral supplies, and therefore the technologies that we rely on every day, are procured and affected by geopolitical dynamics, including Ukraine and China. ●        U.S. sources of these minerals and the financial incentives that were in the Inflation Reduction Act & Infrastructure Act that helped grow the sector….and so much more. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   "I think that there doesn't necessarily have to be a trade-off between making money and making a difference….I've just been trying to say yes, to every opportunity that has come my way. …There are going to be different fits and starts and seasons to your career. But the one thing that's sort of driven me more than salary even I would say, are really just experiences… There are so many different things to learn…so I've let my curiosity sort of drive where my next career move has gone…. There's no comfort in the growth zone and no growth in the comfort zone."

This episode connects dots we probably weren't supposed to. Diddy, MTV, and an era built on influence, access, and silence. Dave Chappelle's new special lands in that same space — funny, uncomfortable, and impossible to separate from the moment we're in. We close by asking our AI what it would do if it were human for a day, and somehow that becomes the most honest part of the episode and forced us to reflect. Funny, raw and emotional, but always, Carbon Footprint.

This episode features Dr. Jocelyn Johnson with STgenetics, a speaker at the 2025 ADSA Breeding and Genetics Symposium: Creating Carbon-Friendly Cows and Leveraging Omics to Improve the Sustainability of Dairy Production.Dr. Johnson's presentation was titled “Advancing dairy sustainability through feed-efficient genetics and genomics: Research insights and applications.” She gives an overview of her talk, which focused on data STgenetics has collected and how the company has applied that data to help their customers be more sustainable. She goes on to describe some of the residual feed intake research they've conducted in dairy cows. (4:20)STgenetics has invested in feed efficiency technology and has shown that selection for improved feed efficiency is correlated to a lower carbon footprint. Dr. Johnson talks about the heritability of feed efficiency compared to other traits we select for in the dairy industry.  (8:16)Dr. Pralle asks Dr. Johnson if STgenetics is measuring emissions from cows in their research. The company has partnered with Texas A&M to measure methane emissions in heifers divergently selected for feed efficiency. They found that more efficient animals produced less methane. Since that pilot project, STgenetics has purchased equipment to measure emissions at their own research facilities and has collected 2-3 years of data on beef, beef on dairy, and Holstein populations. Dr. Johnson emphasizes that the relationship between methane emissions and high milk production is somewhat of a balancing act. (11:29)The group discusses feed additives purported to decrease methane emissions and the differences in rumen microbiomes between high and low efficiency animals. They also talk about how best to get information and technology in front of producers.  (17:59)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Urban trees don't have to become waste. With the right approach, they can be transformed into sustainable, high-quality wood products that reduce carbon footprints and strengthen local communities. In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Paul Hickman, founder of Urban Ashes, to explore the critical importance of urban wood utilization. Paul shares his fascinating journey from the scenic arts industry to creating sustainable products from urban wood, with a particular focus on ash trees affected by the devastating Emerald Ash Borer. His work demonstrates how trees that would otherwise end up in landfills can become valuable resources for woodworkers, builders, and communities. You'll hear about the Urban Wood Project and its impact on local communities, Paul's transition from manufacturing wood products to consulting and education, and why urban wood utilization is essential for reducing carbon footprints. Paul emphasizes the need for increased education and awareness about urban wood, the importance of establishing industry standards, and the valuable role organizations like the Climate Smart Wood Group play in promoting sustainable practices. This conversation dives into both the challenges and opportunities facing the urban wood movement, from building market demand to creating infrastructure that supports salvage and milling operations. Whether you're a woodworker looking for sustainable materials, interested in urban forestry and environmental impact, or curious about how communities can turn a tree crisis into economic opportunity, this episode offers compelling insights and actionable ideas. Tune in to discover how urban wood utilization is revolutionizing sustainability in the wood industry and creating new possibilities for local economies, and don't forget to follow the Woodpreneur Podcast for more conversations about innovation and sustainability in woodworking and forestry.

New research shows that simply choosing plant-based foods can slash your environmental footprint — and dramatically improve your health at the same time. In this episode of The Exam Room Podcast, Chuck Carroll is joined by Dr. Hana Kahleova to uncover how different diets compare when it comes to land use, water use, greenhouse gases, and planetary health. The results are stunning:

To watch a video version of this podcast, click here: https://youtu.be/vi0mEQemsckIn this episode of the Structure Talk podcast, hosts Reuben Saltzman and Tessa Murry sit down with Gene Myers, founder and CEO of Thrive Home Builders in Denver, Colorado. Gene shares his journey from land developer to one of the most forward-thinking builders in the country, known for creating high-performance, net-zero energy homes. The conversation explores the environmental impact of building materials—especially concrete—the importance of operational and embodied carbon, and how builders can balance sustainability with affordability. Gene also discusses innovative building practices, including fiberglass foundations, solar energy strategies, and the importance of building homes that serve both people and the planet.Here's the link to Inspector Empire Builder: https://www.iebcoaching.com/events To check Gene's company, click here: https://thrivehomebuilders.com/TakeawaysGene Myers transitioned from land development to home building during the savings and loan crisis.Thrive Home Builders focuses on net-zero energy homes that are resilient, healthy, and sustainable.Net-zero homes produce as much energy as they consume annually, often using solar panels and battery storage.Concrete has one of the highest carbon footprints among building materials due to its production and transportation.Fiberglass foundation panels offer a promising alternative to concrete, with lower carbon impact and faster installation.Operational carbon (energy used to run a home) typically outweighs embodied carbon (carbon from materials and construction) over a home's lifetime.Gene emphasizes a rigorous cost-benefit analysis to ensure sustainability is attainable for everyday homebuyers.Partnerships with national labs and programs like Energy Star and DOE's Zero Energy Ready Home are key to Thrive's success.Builders should avoid “shiny new objects” unless they are cost-effective and scalable.Municipalities with climate action plans may value sustainable builders more than individual consumers.Building a strong, meaningful brand has long-term benefits and helps attract talent and opportunities.Chapters00:00 – Introduction and Sponsors01:32 – Guest Introduction: Gene Myers03:08 – Gene's Journey from Land Developer to Builder04:43 – What is a Net-Zero Energy Home?06:11 – Building Homes that Serve Communities07:48 – Advice for Builders: Don't Go It Alone10:16 – Leveraging Energy Star and DOE Programs12:11 – First Net-Zero Home and Choosing Solar Over Geothermal13:48 – Solar Leasing Options Explained15:45 – Balancing Sustainability with Cost19:29 – Why Thrive Avoids Geothermal and SIPs21:27 – The Carbon Footprint of Concrete25:00 – Fiberglass Foundation Panels as an Alternative28:08 – Operational vs. Embodied Carbon31:53 – Using OneClick LCA for Carbon Calculations33:26 – Offsetting Carbon Locally in Breckenridge35:47 – Municipalities vs. Consumers: Who Values Sustainability More?39:30 – What Thrive Homes Look Like

"Regardless of what's happening with kind of the ESG backlash conversation here, especially in the US, our other jurisdictions are coming hard and fast on regulatory…It doesn't matter what's happening in the broader ESG backlash …The other piece is, our corporate customers that have their own set of goals and expectations have absolutely not led up on us on wanting to see us continue to progress and move forward and drive change and help them drive change, because that is their expectation of us as a large scale supplier." Page Motes on Electric Ladies Podcast If you're thinking of renting a car on your next trip either for business or the holidays, you may think differently about which company to rent from and why after listening to this episode. As many companies that want to be environmentally sound and climate resilient twist due to a potential ESG backlash, Hertz is pushing full speed ahead on their commitments. Why? How? Listen to Page Motes, Chief Compliance & Sustainability Officer at Hertz explain in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ● How Hertz is expanding its fleet of EVs – and why demand for them is growing. ● What corporate sustainability reporting and compliance look like in this day of ESG pushback and A.I., especially in an industry being reinvented while they drive. ● Where the risks and opportunities are today in this industry at the intersection of the automotive and travel sectors. ● Plus, career advice, such as: "I think a lot of times people in their mid-career have a very specific idea of this ladder that they have and this path specific to either the next job they want or if they want to be in an impact job. That impact job looks like X. And what I have learned is that there are lots of different types of jobs that make a direct difference, and there's a lot of different types of jobs that can drive impact. And so kind of the first thing is open the aperture and have lots of conversations with a lot of different kinds of groups. …Shadow, (ask) do you need help with that project? Experience what it is for a little bit, get a taste of it. Maybe you won't like it. Maybe you will love it, and then plant seeds early."

Send me a messageWhat if your fleet could drive further, burn less fuel, and cut emissions — all without adding a single new vehicle?In this final episode under the Sustainable Supply Chain name (before we evolve into the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast next week), I sit down with Naeem Bari, Chief Product Officer and Co-founder of Linxup, to explore how telematics is transforming small- and medium-sized fleets into powerhouses of efficiency, safety, and sustainability.You'll hear how Linxup's plug-and-play system helped customers slash 373,000 hours of idling in a year, saving over 1,650 tonnes of CO₂ - and why real-time driver feedback doesn't just reduce fuel bills, it changes behaviour. We uncover how accountability and smart coaching make roads safer, how accessible tech levels the playing field for small operators, and how AI will soon help fleets anticipate problems before they occur.This conversation is full of practical lessons on resilience, responsibility, and what happens when technology meets common sense on the road.

“We were the first to lightweight our bottles. So, if you think about a typical bottle of soda, it's about 27 grams of plastic. Our bottles, this year, I think they're coming in at 6.6 grams. So it's incredibly lightweight. I always say, you know, it's a Niagara bottle if it crinkles…We've created label-less bottles so they're easier to recycle. …And, we're now running lines that are in entirely recycled content. So we are very committed to creating bottles that that do not harm the planet, and also that allow for the most circular of products while we also think about what the bottle of the future might look like.” Ann Canela on Electric Ladies Podcast The International Bottled Water Association reported recently that 16.4 billion gallons of bottled water were sold in the United States in 2024.That's a 2.9% increase over 2023 – not to mention all the other bottled drinks we consume. Drinking water is good for you. But there's the plastic to deal with. What responsibility does the bottling company take for all that plastic and their role in society? Listen to Ann Canela, Head of Niagara Cares and Director of Corporate Giving at Niagara Water in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ●        How bottled water gets to your local market, ●        How Niagara Water dramatically reduced the plastic content of its bottles and is taking steps to improve recycling. ●        Where corporate philanthropy is focused at this tumultuous moment when so many government grants were abruptly cancelled. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:   “I think the best thing you can do is define you first….what your values are at this time, and have been for probably since you were a child. And some definition to what your purpose is in the world….The second one I think is.…I would just encourage, especially midcareer women to think, ‘what if the things that were right for you, you knew they were right for you because they were easy, not hard?' Because they came to you in a way that felt aligned versus you're scrapping and fighting for them.…Hard work is a core of success, but it's not the only way to get there.…So what if we considered things that came to us and were at our feet as the right path for us to go down?” Ann Canela on Electric Ladies Podcast   Read Joan's Forbes articles here.   You'll also like: ·       Helping Communities Recycle More: Keefe Harrison, President of The Recycling Partnership ·       America Recycles Day: Emily Tipaldo, U.S. Plastics Pact ·       Solutions to Our Waste Problem: Melissa Modica, Waste Harmonics ·       Reducing the Carbon Footprint of Movies & Television Productions: Emellie O'Brien, President of Earth Angel – who is taking a lot more than plastic bottles out of movie productions. ·       Business Leaders Bridging The Gap – Women business leaders from The Earth Day Women's Summit on the unique role of business in addressing the climate crisis.   Subscribe to our newsletter to receive our podcasts, blog, events and special coaching offers.   Thanks for subscribing on Apple Podcasts or iHeartRadio and leaving us a review!

“What we're seeing is, as the new carbon economy moves forward – and this is critical to businesses to operate in the future, in the next five, 10 years – it's colliding with the digital transformation and financial transformation. And so, I think one of the essential things our customers are asking is. ‘how do we bring together the Chief Sustainability Officer, the CIO and the CFO and the new market, digital and carbon economy as we go forward?' Because you need all three lenses to make a holistic decision for both the growth and resiliency of your company.” Mandi McReynolds on Electric Ladies Podcast Artificial Intelligence, A.I., is transforming sustainability work, from data collection to analysis to reporting. It's a tool to help assess risks and see opportunities, but humans bring the superpower. How? Listen to Mandi McReynolds, Chief Sustainability Officer at Workiva in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson.   You'll hear about: ●        How Workiva is leveraging A.I. to serve its clients across the board – from assessing materiality, to financial reporting and sustainability reporting, ●        How to use A.I. to minimize boring work and free up people to be more strategic and creative – in a few unique ways. ●        How to ensure the integrity of the data you're accessing with A.I. – and how to reduce the risk of your data being contaminated by A.I. hallucinations, etc. ●        Plus, career advice, such as:  “Your job isn't to know the answer. Your job is to ask all the right questions of where the business is going and think about your lens is adding value because you're going to ask a different question….Don't be afraid….(Align) with people who could see the possibility of (your) experience. And… take that stretch job and just remember you're in the room to ask different questions, and that's perfectly fine. So, take the stretch and then lean into your experience that allows you to have a different lens and a different perspective.” Mandi McReynolds on Electric Ladies Podcast   Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

Send me a messageIn this week's episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sat down with Ollie Taylor, Founder & Director of Marine Futures, to talk about one of the toughest nuts to crack in sustainability, decarbonising the marine industry. Boats, big or small, don't often top climate discussions, yet their materials, manufacturing, and fuel use carry a hefty footprint.Ollie explains how Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) can reveal the true environmental cost of marine products, from resin to recycling, and why so many “green” designs turn out to be anything but. We unpack how his platform, Marine Shift 360, is helping designers and builders make data-led choices early in the design phase, where up to 80% of a product's total impact is decided.We also dive into the data problem: how poor visibility, outdated datasets, and supplier secrecy distort sustainability claims. Ollie argues that transparency, education, and automation are key to bringing LCA into the mainstream, making it as essential as CAD or CFD in engineering.Other highlights include the promise of circular design to stabilise volatile supply chains, the limits of regulation versus commercial pressure, and why profitability and sustainability must align for real progress.If you care about data-driven design, circularity, and cutting emissions at the source, this episode is worth your time.
