The story of six entrepreneurs' bold pivot into climate action to spark a global movement investing in real decarbonising solutions. Arthur Auboeuf: Social Stardom to Team for the Planet Arthur Auboeuf was born in a tiny village near Geneva. Whilst a young student, in his spare time, he built an incredible social business with viral humor and music communities online, ultimately reaching over 10 million followers. He sold these ventures young and became part of the entrepreneurial elite of Europe. But despite his monetary and social success, Auboeuf felt increasingly disillusioned as he saw his talents serve fleeting digital addiction rather than lasting impact. Witnessing climate change devastate his childhood ski slopes and forests ignited a deeper purpose, to use his entrepreneurial toolkit not for profit, but for the planet. Team for the Planet: A Business Model to Battle Climate Change Founded in 2019 by Auboeuf and five fellow entrepreneurs, Team for the Planet is a mission-driven company using the power of collective intelligence and capital to detect, fund and scale the world's most impactful decarbonizing innovations. Unlike traditional funds, TFTP is not for profit. Anyone, from students to CEOs, can become a shareholder for just €1, helping to select innovations, assess their global potential, and bring them to market. The goal is to identify tech (or even low/no-tech) solutions that already exist but haven't scaled—and give them the entrepreneurial engine to do so. My guests today also include Emma Scribe, Head of Major Investors, and Geoffrey Crofte, shareholder + evaluator. Crowd-Powered Climate Action What makes Team for the Planet different is its radical openness. With over 128,000 shareholders worldwide, the community isn't just a passive group of donors, it's an army of trained evaluators, investors, and ambassadors. All over the world, from developers to designers, people contribute time, skills, and capital. Together, they've reviewed over 1,600 innovations, leading to investment in 13 climate-tech companies. These solutions range from wave-powered energy to CO₂-to-sand conversion, all aimed at cutting emissions on a global scale. The Climate Dividend: Profit in Planetary Terms Forget financial ROI. TFTP invented the Climate Dividend—a metric that tells shareholders exactly how many tons of CO₂ their investment has avoided or captured. This indicator, developed in partnership with institutions like ADEME and recognised by the UN, enables investors to measure real climate impact rather than hypothetical financial returns. It's become a tool used by over 100 funds to track the environmental performance of their portfolios. Open-Source Innovation, Shared Globally Team for the Planet doesn't just scale green startups—it shares their tech freely. Once a company is funded and functioning, its innovation is made open source, allowing any business to adopt it. In return, those adopters must report usage (to calculate CO₂ impact) and share improvements. This bold model ensures that breakthrough solutions don't stay locked in one market or one monopoly—they ripple out globally for maximum effect. Luxembourg's investment of people and business Though still in early days, Luxembourg is an exciting frontier for TFTP. With only a few hundred shareholders, the country's financial ecosystem, global talent mix, and green ambitions make it a strategic springboard. Local scientists like Thomas Gibon are already involved, and companies like Circu Li-ion have adopted the Climate Dividend metric. In Auboeuf's words, “Luxembourg is a green field” waiting to be cultivated. How You Can Join Whether you're a student, scientist, investor, or want to make a difference, there's a role for you at Team for the Planet. You can invest money, time, or expertise. You can become an evaluator, reader, or ambassador. Or you can simply buy a €1 share and know you're part of something that has already avoided 40,000 tons of CO₂—a figure equal to 40,000 Paris–New York flights. Connect & Learn More

During that time, he gained another degree in Practical Theology. Throughout his many ministry assignments, he also worked several secular jobs.

Kathy J. Forti, PhD shares her sci-fi novels - Stacks: The Library of Truth & Stacks: Awakening Truth. This is episode 545 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast. Kathy Forti, Ph.D. is the author of the newly released Truth Book Series: STACKS Library of Truth and STACKS Awakening Truth, a sci-fi thriller which takes place in Washington, D.C.'s Library of Congress, where a library employee accidentally opens up an interdimensional portal into a library within a library, where all truth is stored.  Prior to penning her novels, she was a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience in the mental health field. Her knowledge of psychopathology adds unusual character depth to her stories. As a direct result of her own near-death experience in 2003, where her heart stopped, Forti became more creative. This led to the development and patent of the Trinfinity8 and Ascension11 Energetic software technology, now used by holistic healing practitioners worldwide.   With a degree in journalism, she worked for several years as an associate producer for CBS-TV. She also wrote a TV pilot script for STACKS that won a Slamdance Teleplay Award. She launched, with the help of Pacific Rock Productions, which was led by an Emmy-winning producer, an original 11-part web series called STACKS The Truth Can Kill You. She has authored a non-fiction book as well: Fractals of God: A Psychologist's Near-Death Experience & Journeys Into the Mystical, and a children's book series: Freddie Brenner's Mystical Adventures. Forti is a blogger and was a keynote speaker for NEXUS Magazine in Australia in 2010 and 2015. She addresses subjects related to health, consciousness, spirituality and the weird and wonderful. For years, she has been leading ancient mystery school groups to Egypt, having explored the water tunnels under the Great Pyramid, as well as closed-off tunnels under the Sphinx. Sometimes referred to as “a female Indiana Jones” after finding alien artifacts in Mexico, she is, at heart, an ancient explorer of the origins of humanity.  Born in Chicago, Kathy has called many cities her home, including New York City, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Kansas, and Prescott, Arizona. She currently resides in Maui, Hawaii. For more information, please consult: https://stackslibraryoftruth.com/ Awesome stories! Awesome conversation! Before you go... Could you do me a favor?

Here, Bert Kossoff teaches painting when he is not cloistered in his studio. His wife Ruth defends her husband's distance and tolerates his infidelities for the sake of their daughter. Sonata at age 18, lacking purpose of her own, is drawn to the mystique of her father in his world of artists and models. In the struggle to find her way, Sonata encounters family secrets long concealed and later, one that tears open their lives, exposing the lies that have misled them, even as they sustained them. As each member of this shattered family finds a path to move forward, art itself—the urgency to create—is revealed as a force of its own. The terrain is confounding, where people searching for truth have learned to practice the art of illusion. Amazing conversation! So much to learn! Some extra information before you go...
