These are hard times for investment in low-carbon energy. The lack of progress in international climate negotiations, threats to policy support, and an increased awareness of the challenges of decarbonization, have created some strong headwinds. Everyone agrees that more breakthroughs in innovative emissions-reducing technologies are essential for tackling climate change. So how can innovative energy companies raise the capital they need to scale?Catalytic capital can provide long-term investment in clean energy and accelerate early-stage climate technologies. To find out how it can make a difference, host Ed Crooks welcomes back to the show Amy Duffuor. Amy is the co-founder and general partner at Azolla Ventures, a $300 million VC firm dedicated to having an impact on emissions. They do it through catalytic capital, which is still looking for a return, but can be more patient and flexible than conventional investment.In challenging times for investment in decarbonization, cleantech startups need to be able to explain their broader significance for the energy system and the economy, as well as their impact on emissions. “For climate tech to succeed it's not just about the innovation itself, but about understanding the narrative that surrounds it," Amy says.Also joining the show is Melissa Lott, partner general manager at Microsoft.* Together they look at the geopolitical tensions and US policy frameworks that are influencing investor confidence and support for innovation. And they ask the question: with the world clearly not on track to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C, how can we get investment to flow into adaptation strategies to build long-term resilience. Can it be done?

Sonya Weigle built a successful career, but she also had obligations. More than obligations, they were priorities. With a young, growing family at home, she knew the professional path she carved out for herself wasn't sustainable, so she made some tweaks. Nevertheless, Weigle continued to achieve. Now, three decades later and with an increasing sense of autonomy in her life, the seasoned executive is prepared to make what could be her most ambitious and inspired pivot yet - the launch of a brand new, dynamic community for fellow women leaders. Women to Watch host Sue Rocco catches up with Weigle, who shares her vision for The Catalytic Collective and explains why it's never too late to put yourself first. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/women-to-watch-r/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

My guest today is Yasemin Saltuk Lamy, Head of Investment Strategy at Legal & General (L&G), a London-based multinational financial services and asset management company. And believe it or not, her investment journey started when she was only 18.Back then, she had been dreaming of studying in Senegal to experience a French-speaking African economy. But then, the University of Pennsylvania's study abroad office made her an offer she couldn't ignore: a $12,000 scholarship to study in Scotland.For most students, that would have been a no-brainer – they would have spent it on books, rent, or maybe a bit of travel… But Yasemin saw it as an investment opportunity.She did the math, figured she could live on $6,000, and put the rest into high-growth equities. It was 1998, the height of the dot-com boom. Her investment skyrocketed – until the bubble burst. Long story short, it took nearly a decade just to break even.It was a tough experience at such a young age, but a powerful one. Watching markets rise and fall, she realized she wanted to understand the bigger picture – how economies impact people's lives.And she had a strong background for that. Born in Istanbul, Turkey, Yasemin grew up between two worlds. After a military coup d'état, her parents moved the family to the U.S., settling in Rhode Island.Every summer, she returned to Turkey, experiencing firsthand the stark economic contrasts between her two homes. In the U.S., she valued independence and opportunity. In Turkey, she saw the power of family networks and community-driven economies.But it wasn't until she moved back to Turkey as an adult that she truly felt the financial instability of inflation. She then abandoned her plan to pursue a Ph.D. in pure mathematics and instead studied financial mathematics at King's College London.After starting out as a high school math teacher, Yasemin moved into finance, bringing with her a strong focus on leadership and impact. At J.P. Morgan, she helped launch the Social Finance Team, and later at British International Investment, she led the Catalyst Portfolio – using catalytic capital to de-risk investments and crowd in private capital for emerging markets and climate projects.Now at Legal & General, she's focused on bridging institutional capital with sustainable investments. She's using her experience with catalytic capital to make high-impact projects – especially in climate resilience and infrastructure – less risky and more attractive to traditional investors like pension funds and insurers.In this interview, Yasemin breaks down how catalytic capital is transforming impact investing and why pension funds have a duty to invest in the right things to protect long-term asset value.The future of finance isn't just about returns – it's about reshaping the system to work for people and the planet. Tune in to hear how Yasemin is making it happen.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

//Andrew Lundy | 1 Samuel 3:1-4:1

 Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! Some moments change everything. A few simple words can shift the entire trajectory of your life—You're hired. You're cured. We're pregnant. In Acts 2, thousands experienced a catalytic moment when Peter spoke just a few words: "This Jesus of Nazareth…" In an instant, they saw the truth—they had been waiting for the Messiah, and He had come. But they had crucified Him. Yet, this was not a moment of condemnation, but of rescue. Jesus, the firstfruits of new life, had conquered death and poured out the Holy Spirit, offering freedom and hope. The same truth that changed lives on that day continues to change lives today. When we see Jesus for who He truly is, everything shifts. What if today is your moment? For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion Guide: https://www.cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2025-2-15-16-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Make Breakfast Plans for THIS Saturday!

Ralph Loura, Co-founder of Sustainable IT.org and former CIO – Catalytic Transformation is 99% Mindset In this episode, we sat down with Ralph Loura, seasoned tech executive, former CIO at HPE and Clorox, and Co-founder of Sustainable IT.org , to discuss the unique dynamics of being a Catalyst executive. Having recently shared his wisdom at Davos and UN Climate Week, we were thrilled to learn from Ralph about insights from his personal catalytic journey. Ralph unpacks how the ability to see the world through a different lens and always find alternative ways of doing things is his Catalyst way of operating and has guided his entire career. However, to be a successful Catalyst, Ralph emphasizes the importance of tying that creativity clearly to the corporate strategy and value creation within the organization. Along his journey, as he encountered the inevitable resistance Catalysts face from stakeholders who often prefer the "old way" of doing things, his mentor reminded him “It makes sense to them.” Ralph explained that when that resistance emerges, you either have to figure out why the change is making people uncomfortable or realize that perhaps it will never make sense in that organization, in which case it's time to go. Lastly, Ralph shares insights on why, even for those of us who thrive on change, it's vital to get comfortable with discomfort—a key to navigating the uncertainties of transformational leadership.

We (rightly) study the book of Acts and particularly Paul's missionary journeys to learn the biblical pattern for mission work. However, in most missions contexts, we foreign missionaries shouldn't function as the "Apostle Paul." We are not the strategy! Instead, we should function in a catalytic role similar to Barnabas. Barnabas was an encourager, advocated for the Apostle Paul when other believers didn't trust him, went out with Paul on their first missionary journey, and then begins falling into the background as Paul becomes prominent. Similarly, missionaries' primary function, when possible, should be to advocate for, train, and catalyze local believers to be the "main doers" in their context. 

What's at stake for climate and nature in the current political environment? Listen to Jason Mitchell discuss with Paul Bodnar, Bezos Earth Fund, about the vital role of philanthropic capital; the mission of the Bezos Earth Fund; and how its thinks about funding efforts across mitigation and adaptation as well as the Global North and Global South.   Note: This episode was recorded prior to the recent US election. Paul Bodnar is the Director of Sustainable Finance, Industry, and Diplomacy at the Bezos Earth Fund. He most recently served as Global Head of Sustainable Investing at BlackRock, where he helped build the firm's $500 billion sustainable funds business. Prior to Blackrock, Paul was Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Council member at RMI (formerly Rocky Mountain Institute), where he founded the Center for Climate-Aligned Finance. Paul served in the Obama White House as Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Energy and Climate Change at the National Security Council. Prior to that, Paul served at the State Department as US lead negotiator for climate finance.

The engraving events remain popular in Virginia Beach, according to police, even as the number of catalytic converter thefts has declined.

·      Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see – Hebrews 11:1 ·      Matthew 15: 21-28:  21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly.” 23 Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.” 24 He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” 25 The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said. 26 He replied, “It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs.” 27 “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table.” 28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment. ·      Do you need to get out of your comfort zone to hear from God?  ·       When you pass the test, your confidence in Jesus' way increases. ·       Catalytic faith is humble. ·      Heavenly Father, I need you to do what only you can do.  ·      “It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs.”  ·      “Yes it is, Lord,” she said. “Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table.”  ·      Catalytic faith persists.  ·      “They should always pray and not give up." ·       Is God calling you to persist in faith?  ·      28 Then Jesus said to her, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed at that moment. ·      Everybody matters to God.  ·      Will you persist? Or will you give up ·      Will Jesus ever say to you, “You have great faith!”  ·      Great faith is humbling coming to God and saying, “I can't.  You can.  Please do your will.”  LIFE GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS  Starter Question: Who is the most persistent person you know?  Why are they that way?  1.      Read Matthew 15:21-28 2.     Jesus takes the disciples to an unlikely place to teach them.  When has God taught you something in an unlikely place? 3.      If you had been one of the disciples, how would you have reacted to the Canaanite woman? 4.      If you were the woman, how would you have reacted to Jesus' silence? 5.      What do you think Jesus' tone was in speaking these words?  Why do you think that? 6.      When are you tempted to give up on God? 7.       How would you speak to someone who has been hurt God's lack of response?

·      Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about whatwe do not see – Hebrews 11:1 ·     Catalytic faith changes you and changes the people around you. ·     Dallas Willard - Hope is joyous anticipation of good that is not yet here or is 'unseen.”  ·      Catalytic faith reaches out in hope.  ·      They are looking for hope at the end of their rope. ·      18 While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.”  ·      When you are desperate, go to Jesus.  ·      Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.  ·      19 Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.  ·      Faith is not a competition.  ·      20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”  ·      Zechariah 8:23 - This is what the Lord Almighty says: “In those days ten people from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you.'” ·      22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment. ·       Galatians 3:28 – There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.  ·       23 When Jesus entered the synagogue leader's house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes, 24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him.  ·       25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.   ·      Jesus' grip is stronger than the grip of death.  ·      There is nothing in your life more powerful than the grip of Jesus to save you. ·       26 News of this spread through all that region.  ·       You matter to God.  ·       When you are at the end of your rope, find Jesus' hope. LIFE GROUPDISCUSSION QUESTIONS  Starter Question: How have you found hope when you felt at the end of your rope?  1.     Read Matthew 9:18-26 2.     In your opinion, how does the desperation of the synagogue ruler differ from the desperation of the woman with the blood disorder? 3.    Can you think of a religious or cultural taboo that is similar to Jewish laws and rules about being unclean?  4.    If we are to be like Jesus, what does this story teach us about our response to marginalized people? 5.     Imagine the woman's life after she is healed.  How does her daily routine change?  How has faith changed her life? 6.     Jesus will have another year and half ministering in this region.  When people or his peers ask the Synagogue leader about Jesus, what do you think he said after this? 7.      When you feel at the end of your rope, what will you remember from this story?

·      Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see – Hebrews 11:1 ·      Dallas Willard - To have faith in God is to trust him, to have confidence in him.  ·      Whatever God addresses in our lives needs addressing.  ·      Will you let God address your deepest need? ·       A catalyst is an agent that provokes or speeds change. ·      Matthew 9:1-8 - Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town. 2 Some men brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” 3 At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!” 4 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Get up and walk'? 6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” 7 Then the man got up and went home. 8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man. ·     Catalytic faith trusts Jesus can do what only God can do.  ·      What great challenge do you need to bring to God? ·      When he saw their faith…  ·      Galatians 6:2 – Carry each other's burdens and in this way fulfill the law of Christ.  ·      Catalytic faith equals action.  ·      James 2:26 – Faith without works is dead. ·      Following Jesus will make your life better and will make you better at life.  ·      Your sins are forgiven.  ·      The root of all dysfunction in the world is sin.  ·      PIX – Soul.  ·       What you think is your greatest need and what God says is your greatest need may be two different things.  ·      Jesus cures the paralytic at his roots.  ·      Have you asked Jesus to forgive you?  Are you asking for God's forgiveness for the sins of the day? ·      Don't put God in a box.  ·      Heavenly Father, where are you at work in this?  What are you trying to communicate? ·      Sin makes you leap to unsound thoughts, feelings, and decisions.  ·      The forgiveness of sins takes power.  ·      The paralytic went from a horizontal life to a vertical life.  ·      Catalytic faith brings people to Jesus.  ·      Invest. ·      Invite.  ·      Include.  ·      Catalytic faith receives forgiveness.  ·      Catalytic faith lives in forgiveness.  ·      Are you living in Jesus' sweet forgiveness?  LIFE GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS  Starter Question: Do you know anyone who needs God's forgiveness?  Share a bit of their story.  1.      Read Matthew 9:1-8 2.      Think about the faith of paralytic and his friends.  In your opinion, what would have caused them to have faith that Jesus could heal the paralytic? 3.     When Jesus declares the paralytic's sins forgiven, how do you think the paralytic felt?  How did the friends feel? 4.      In your opinion, why does Jesus forgive before he heals? 5.      If you were in the crowd, what would your reaction have been to Jesus' rebuke of the teachers of the law?  Why does Jesus label their judgment as “evil?” 6.      Why does Jesus' healing of the man prove he has the authority to forgive sins? 7.      The crowd was afraid while simultaneously give God glory. Why do you think they were afraid? What did Jesus' pronouncement of forgiveness mean to them?

Azolla Ventures invests in breakthroughs that could avert catastrophic climate change. They focus on ventures at the earliest stages, where risk and reward are highest. Their priority is impact first: every investment holds the potential for large-scale greenhouse gas reductions and a more just climate for all. Founded by Prime Coalition and enabled by catalytic capital, they seek out bold entrepreneurs from all corners and embrace opportunities outside of venture norms. Amy Duffuor is the co-founder and General Partner of Azolla Ventures. She is also a Managing Director at Prime Impact Fund, Azolla Ventures' predecessor vehicle. Her professional background spans business, finance, and impact across three continents. Amy has served as a board member for Azolla Ventures portfolio companies Heaten and Carbon Reform, as well as Prime Impact Fund portfolio companies Clean Crop Technologies, Noon Energy, and Ovipost. In addition, Amy serves on the board of the Northeast Clean Energy Council (NECEC); the Leadership Council of Activate, a nonprofit that empowers scientists to bring their research to market to address climate change; the Advisory Council of ReFED, a national nonprofit focused on food waste; and the Advisory Board of GreenTech Noir, a global community for Black people working in sustainability and climate tech. Show Notes: [01:16] -  Amy walks us through the co-founding of Azolla Ventures and how it began with the Prime Coalition and a mission to use catalytic capital to drive climate innovation.  [02:09] -  Catalytic capital is tax exempt, structurally patient and more flexible, and it can be used to de-risk technologies for downstream investors. [05:13] -  Azolla Ventures helps lessen risk through a unique funding model that combines both catalytic capital with more traditional venture capital. [07:04] -  They invest in pre-seed, seed, and Series A rounds in hardware based companies. Hardware requires a longer investing horizon. [07:26] -  There are three key evaluation investment criteria that underscore the importance of catalytic capital in their model. 1. Gigaton scale climate impact. 2. Additionality. 3. Attractiveness to downstream commercial capital. [12:26] -  There are often other investors investing alongside Azolla Ventures. They try to be thoughtful about how they put these syndicates together. [14:39] -  Amy talks about how Azolla sources potential investment partners.  [16:14] -  Azolla has a unique process that begins with a pitch to a member, then a full-team pitch, then it's time for the investment advisory committee who help with the last two steps of additionality and downstream funding. [20:09] -  Most companies raise rounds with 18 to 24 months of runway.  [21:34] -  First tip is to understand what stage your company is at and realize it may not be the right stage for venture capital. [22:43] -  Be confident about demonstrating your expertise but humble about what you don't know. [23:58] -  Be coachable and agile. [24:38] -  The driving motivation for Azolla is large-scale climate impact. [26:08] -  Challenges include the long investment horizon and capital intensity and the project financing valley of death. [29:05] -  Founders need to be commercially minded and focus on customers and partners towards the later stages. [29:53] -  Amy's advice is don't be so focused on the job, be focused on the skill sets that you're gaining. Links and Resources: Azolla Ventures Website Prime Coalition

In this episode, Lara Pierpoint discusses the Trellis climate program developed by Prime Coalition to address the gap in first-of-a-kind financing for climate technologies. The program focuses on providing catalytic capital to support the scaling and commercialization of climate innovations. Lara explains that the program aims to bridge the gap between early-stage venture funding and infrastructure investment, which is crucial for the successful deployment of climate technologies. She also highlights the challenges of aligning the interests of private capital focused on returns with philanthropic capital focused on impact. The program seeks to ensure that the supported technologies have a pathway to scale and can attract traditional investment in the future. In this conversation, Lara talks about the role of catalytic capital in bridging the financing gap for climate tech startups. She explains that catalytic capital funds projects that traditional investors may not be willing to support due to various risk factors. Lara's call to action for climate tech startups is to start thinking about long-term vision and how to cross the financing gap early on. TakeawaysThe Trellis climate program addresses the gap in first-of-a-kind financing for climate technologies.The program provides catalytic capital to support the scaling and commercialization of climate innovations.It aims to bridge the gap between early-stage venture funding and infrastructure investment.Aligning the interests of private capital focused on returns with philanthropic capital focused on impact is a challenge.The program ensures that supported technologies have a pathway to scale and can attract traditional investment in the future.

In this thought-provoking message titled "Catalytic Grandparents," part of the "Life-Giving Relationships" sermon series, Pastor Rex Keener delves into the profound impact that grandparents have on their grandchildren. Though this message pertains to grandparents, the principles are applicable and universal for relationships in the Christian life. Drawing from the profound impact of Timothy's grandmother Lois, as well as the first appearance of Grandparental blessing in Genesis 48, Pastor Rex concludes that Christian grandparents should remember the importance of their presence in the lives of their grandchildren, that they should share their spiritual values and faith, and finally, seek to finish the race called life well. We are deeply grateful for your time and attention to this message from May 5, 2024. We pray that it will bless you and inspire you in your journey as Christian grandparents and members of our church community.
