When we think about conservation, we often picture vast landscapes, working ranches, and remote forests. But some of the most meaningful stewardship efforts are happening right in our own backyards. This week, Haley is joined by Suzanna Fry-Jones, CEO of the High Line Canal Conservancy, to explore the 71-mile corridor that is enhancing the Denver region's ecological health, recreational opportunities, and sense of community one mile at a time.Topics[0:00] Introduction: What is the High Line Canal?[5:19] Coordinating Conservation Across 15 Jurisdictions[10:44] Trees, Habitat, and Ecological Stewardship[17:05] Conserving the Canal in Perpetuity[25:55] Volunteer Opportunities and Community Programs[28:02] How You Can Enjoy the Canal[31:00] Why the Canal MattersLinksThe High Line Canal ConservancyNeed professional help finding, buying or selling a legacy ranch, contact us: Mirr Ranch Group901 Acoma StreetDenver, CO 80204Phone: (303) 623-4545https://www.MirrRanchGroup.com/

Big Bend Borderlands Ministry: Water Conservation, Rancher Collaboration & Creation Care in Marfa Traveling between Alpine and Marfa, Texas, Bishop Michael Hunn of the Diocese of the Rio Grande rides with the Reverend Mike Wallens, who serves Borderlands Ministry and five Big Bend congregations, as they head to Mexico to meet the mayor of Ojinaga and visit two shelters the ministry has supported for years. They discuss environmental work in the Big Bend focused on drought and grasslands, including collaboration with Sul Ross State University's Borderlands Research Institute and interim head Billy Tarrant, who convenes water conservation efforts, encourages measuring ranch water levels to assess aquifers, and promotes land practices that slow runoff, reduce flooding, and recharge groundwater to sustain streams and bird migration habitat. Wallens also describes a Creation Care grant-funded tree-planting project in Marfa's low-income housing, with trees provided and planted with help from an Apache group and maintained by church members and residents. 00:00 Road to Marfa 00:31 Bishop on the Borderlands 01:18 Water and Grasslands 02:28 Ranchers and Aquifers 03:14 Wildlife and Migration 04:13 Restoring Water Flow 05:19 Tree Planting in Marfa 06:25 Closing Reflections

Sierra McDaniel is the resources management program manager at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, having worked at the park for 25 years. She first came to Hawaiʻi as a biology undergraduate and then entered the University of Hawaiʻi at Hiloʻs Tropical Conservation Biology and Environmental Science masters program. She speaks to the challenges of working to conserve ecosystems, endangered species, and cultural values across the 354,461 acres, a place that hosts over 1.5 million visitors annually. We get into the challenges of changing ecosystems in response to fire on the landscape, the value of grounding the biological conservation work in Hawaiian lifeways and what it means to be in a place where volcanic eruptions are a constant presence.

Las Vegas may be known for entertainment, but it's also respected as a leader in water conservation. While the region continues to grow, Southern Nevada is using less water today than it did two decades ago—a testament to community-wide conservation efforts. In this episode, SNWA's Pietra Sardelli talks about the Water Smart Business Program and shares conversations with two local leaders who have stepped up their water efficiency efforts on the Water Smarts Podcast, “WATER WARRIORS: Las Vegas businesses are doing more with less.”https://www.snwa.com/https://www.snwa.com/ 

In this episode, host Margaret Walls talks with Jade Stevens, founder and executive director of 40 Acre Conservation League, a Black-led nonprofit land trust in California. The organization, named after the historic promise of “40 acres and a mule” given to formerly enslaved Black Americans after the Civil War, honors the legacy of the promise by expanding land stewardship and outdoor recreation throughout California. A complementary objective of the land trust focuses on wildfire prevention and forest preservation, which involves extensive efforts to thin out overcrowded trees and restore wildlife. Despite challenges in site acquisition and dense tree regrowth, Stevens notes that maintaining outdoor space creates lasting improvements to quality of life for nearby communities. By merging the two aims of conserving land and expanding public lands, 40 Acre Conservation League aims to make the great outdoors more accessible to urban families in California while protecting the ecosystems within it.

All options are on the table for conserving fuel if the US-Israel war on Iran continues. Iran's retaliating with hits on neighbouring countries, and blocking shipping transit through the Strait of Hormuz - sending global fuel prices spiking. Associate Energy Minister Shane Jones says the Government's working on a plan in case our supplies come under threat. Jones says we have 50 days fuel here and on the way, but continued supply rests on the length of the conflict. "Kiwis expect their Government to be proactive, Kiwis expect us to deal with the fact that other countries are hoarding their fuel." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, host Anish Banerjee is joined by Nishan Limbu, Tujin Rai, and Nischal Kunwar from the Nature Conservation and Study Centre for a wide-ranging conversation on youth-led wildlife conservation and biodiversity research in Nepal's Himalayan landscapes.Rather than focusing on a single species, this episode explores how grassroots conservation initiatives in Nepal are addressing the needs of multiple threatened taxa, including the Asiatic Black Bear, pangolins, small carnivores, pollinators, turtles, and forest-dependent mammals. Together, these species represent the ecological complexity of Nepal's biodiversity hotspot, where conservation challenges are deeply intertwined with community livelihoods, land-use change, and human–wildlife interactions.A major part of the discussion centres on the Asiatic Black Bear, a wide-ranging species increasingly coming into conflict with people in Nepal's mid-hills and forested regions. The guests describe how bear conservation efforts combine camera trapping, rapid biodiversity assessments, and community interviews to identify key habitats and conflict zones. These methods are part of a broader conservation research framework that prioritizes coexistence and evidence-based wildlife conservation rather than enforcement-only approaches.The conversation then expands to other species under threat. Pangolins emerge as one of the most elusive and heavily trafficked mammals in the region, requiring both biodiversity research and strong community engagement to improve detection and protection. Small carnivores and lesser-known mammals are discussed as overlooked components of biodiversity conservation, despite their critical ecological roles. The episode also highlights pollinator conservation through citizen-science initiatives, demonstrating how biodiversity research can be democratized and scaled through local participation.Across all these projects, the Nature Conservation and Study Centre's approach emphasizes capacity building, youth leadership, and community ownership. By training community forest user groups to deploy camera traps, monitor wildlife, and interpret results, the organization is helping shift conservation from externally driven projects to locally sustained action. This model strengthens biodiversity conservation outcomes while fostering long-term stewardship in Nepal's rural landscapes.The guests also reflect candidly on the challenges faced by early-career conservationists, including limited funding, lack of training opportunities, and resistance from communities affected by human–wildlife conflict. Yet the episode remains hopeful, showing how collaboration, persistence, and grounded conservation research can generate meaningful change.This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in bear conservation, Asiatic Black Bears, pangolins, wildlife conservation, biodiversity research, and the future of youth-led conservation in Nepal and the Himalayas. It offers a holistic view of how protecting biodiversity requires working across species, ecosystems, and communities simultaneously.#bear #bearconservation #AsiaticBlackBear #conservation #wildlifeconservation #biodiversityhotspot #conservationresearch #biodiversityresearch #biodiversityconservation #biodiversity #communitybasedconservation #communityconservation Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

Today's episode is a Midlife Living Journal entry from one of those tender, heavy days. The kind where you feel flat, two days away from your bleed, emotions sitting close to the surface, and your body asking for softness instead of productivity. I watched part of the documentary BALANCE: A Perimenopause Journey, hoping for clarity around perimenopause and HRT, and instead, it stirred up the questions so many of us carry quietly: What if I'd started earlier? What if I'd known sooner? What if I could feel more like me by now?But here's what landed as I sat with it. I don't actually know what normal feels like. For more than two decades, my baseline hasn't been calm, regulated, or even neutral. It's been survival. Responsibility. Hypervigilance. Being the one who holds it all together. So two months into HRT, the question isn't just is this working? It's deeper than that. Because there is no old version of me to return to. I'm not restoring anything. I'm creating something new: a nervous system learning safety for the first time. Hormones finding rhythm. A body recalibrating after years of running on pure capability.We also talk about what it's like when chronic hip and leg pain makes your world smaller, when winter feels long, and when surgery sits in the background like a quiet drumbeat. You'll hear how I'm preparing in a practical, loving way by simplifying my home, making life easier for Khushi, and building a bridge between who I am now and the woman I'll be on the other side of recovery. And if you've been feeling more inward lately, less interested in crowds, events, and being on, I share why that might not be avoidance at all. It might be discernment. Conserving your energy for what truly matters.This episode is an invitation to stop forcing your way through discomfort just to prove you can. To let the questions exist without urgency. To soften into the truth that you're not behind, you're becoming.If this resonates, take five minutes after listening and ask yourself: What do I need right now, if I'm being completely honest? Write what comes up. No judgement. Just truth. And if you want more reflections and support as you navigate your next chapter, come and join me at Kiransinghuk.com and on Substack.

Black Rails are marsh-inhabiting birds, more often heard than seen. Many Black Rails nest in marshes along the Atlantic seaboard and in the Midwest. But in winter they concentrate in the coastal marshes of East Texas, Louisiana, and Florida, areas that face many threats. Sadly, according to the 2025 State of the Birds Report, Black Rail populations are perilously low and continue to decline. In recent decades, the enactment of laws protecting wetlands has improved the bird's prospects.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, host Anish Banerjee is joined by Nitish Agrawal, founder of The Last Vulture, to unpack one of the most urgent yet overlooked stories in Indian biodiversity: the vulture crisis and its far-reaching ecological and public health consequences.Vultures are keystone species and irreplaceable scavengers, playing a critical role in maintaining ecosystem balance by rapidly removing animal carcasses from the landscape. Nitish explains how the catastrophic collapse of vulture populations across India triggered an ecological crisis with cascading impacts on public health, feral dog populations, disease transmission, and rural livelihoods. Once abundant across biodiversity hotspots of the subcontinent, vultures have declined by over 95 percent in many regions, making the vulture crisis one of the fastest population crashes of any bird group in history.The conversation explores vulture conservation not only as a species-focused intervention, but as a lens to understand biodiversity management and systemic failure. Nitish highlights how pharmaceutical contamination, policy blind spots, and lack of public awareness accelerated this biodiversity crisis, while also reflecting on why vultures suffer from a severe cultural stigma despite their ecological importance. Through the idea of “vulture culture,” he argues that conservation success depends on reshaping how society perceives scavengers, death, and ecosystem services.A major focus of the episode is vulture rewilding and rethinking rewilding more broadly in human-dominated landscapes. Nitish discusses how and community-based conservation are essential for restoring vulture populations, particularly around carcass availability, safe food zones, and coexistence with pastoral communities. These efforts demonstrate how biodiversity conservation can succeed when local people are active partners rather than passive stakeholders.The episode also delves into innovative approaches linking conservation with livelihoods, including safaris, walking safaris, and low-impact conservation tourism. Nitish explains how sustainable tourism, biodiversity tourism, and ethical wildlife experiences can create economic incentives for protecting threatened species while deepening public engagement with Indian biodiversity. Rather than spectacle-driven wildlife tourism, these models emphasize learning, interpretation, and long-term stewardship.This conversation offers a powerful reminder that saving vultures is about far more than birds alone. It is about restoring ecological function, safeguarding public health, addressing the biodiversity crisis, and reimagining how conservation, culture, and communities intersect in modern India. Essential listening for anyone interested in vulture conservation, rewilding, biodiversity hotspots, and the future of conservation tourism in India.#vulture #vultureconservation #vultureculture #keystonespecies #scavenger #ecologicalcrisis #publichealth #vulturecrisis #vulturerewilding #rewilding #communityconservation #communitybasedconservation #biodiversitycrisis #biodiversity #biodiversityconservation #biodiversityhotspot #biodiversitymanagement #Indianbiodiversity #safaris #walkingsafaris #sustainabletourism #conservationtourism #biodiversitytourism Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

In this compelling episode of The Think Wildlife Podcast, host Anish Banerjee speaks with Indrajit Ghorpade, founder of the Deccan Conservation Foundation, about wolf conservation in the Koppal District of Karnataka and the overlooked biodiversity of the Deccan Plateau. The conversation offers a rare, ground-level perspective on the Indian wolf and the urgent need to rethink how India approaches grassland conservation and biodiversity management outside forested landscapes.Koppal District, located in the Deccan Plateau, represents one of the last strongholds of the Indian wolf, a subspecies of the gray wolf uniquely adapted to India's arid and semi-arid grasslands. Often misunderstood and neglected, the Indian wolf has survived for centuries in human-dominated landscapes shaped by pastoralism and dryland agriculture. Indrajit explains how wolf conservation in this region is inseparable from protecting grassland ecosystems that are routinely misclassified as wastelands, despite supporting exceptional grassland biodiversity.The episode explores the ecological importance of open grasslands for species such as wolves, blackbucks, foxes, hyenas, and ground-nesting birds, and why the loss of these habitats has driven widespread declines across Indian biodiversity. Indrajit reflects on how tiger-centric conservation narratives have overshadowed species like the Indian wolf, leading to gaps in policy, funding, and public awareness. Through years of fieldwork, research, and advocacy, his work has helped establish India's second wolf sanctuary at Bankapur, demonstrating that targeted protection can make a measurable difference even in fragmented landscapes.A key theme of the discussion is coexistence. Wolves in Koppal largely survive outside protected areas, navigating livestock grazing, agriculture, roads, and renewable energy infrastructure. Indrajit unpacks the realities of human–wolf interactions, the role of free-ranging dogs, hybridization concerns, and the importance of education in reducing conflict. Rather than portraying wolves as threats, the episode reframes them as keystone predators essential for regulating ecosystems and sustaining long-term biodiversity conservation.Listeners will gain insight into why grassland conservation is central to the future of Karnataka biodiversity and the biodiversity of India more broadly. From blackbucks roaming open plains to wolves using rocky outcrops as breeding refuges, the episode highlights how wild Karnataka extends far beyond forests and protected reserves. This conversation is essential listening for anyone interested in wolf conservation, Indian wolf conservation, gray wolf conservation, grassland biodiversity, and the future of biodiversity management in India's most neglected ecosystems.#wolf #wolfconservation #IndianWolf #Indianwolfconservation #graywolf #graywolfconservation #grassland #grasslandconservation #biodiversityconservation #biodiversitymanagement #Indianbiodiversity #grasslandbiodiversity #blackbucks #wildKarnataka #Karnatakabiodiversity #biodiversityofKarnataka #biodiversityofIndia Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

In episode 150 of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Dimond talks once again to the founder and CEO of Conserving Beauty, Natassia Nicolao. I mentioned earlier this season that, given we're now 7 seasons in, I wanted to go back and revisit some of my favourite beauty brand stories- I wanted to bring back previous guests from earlier seasons and look at how their brands and the beauty industry at large has evolved since we last recorded. For the uninitiated, Conserving Beauty is Australia's first ever waterless beauty brand, the first beauty brand globally to be part of the Water Footprint network, the first Australian beauty brand to be backed by both government and impact investment funds, and the brand behind the world's first dissolving facial wipes. Natassia launched the brand when she was just 27 years old. Since we last spoke the brand has launched into Mecca and Priceline locally as well as expanding into the UK and US markets, the latter of which is now responsible for a whopping 70% of the brand's revenue. What I found the most interesting, however, is that the data that Natassia and her team have gathered over the last 3 and a half years has shown them that their customer is actually not who they initially thought it was, and how they've changed tack to make sure they're formulating for and marketing to the right consumers. In this conversation, Natassia shares exactly how they've pivoted for an audience they didn't realise was theirs', how she's approaching Conserving Beauty's US launch differently from their UK launch, and why the pharmacy customer has proven surprisingly lucrative.

In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we explore one of India's most unique and little-known primates — the slender loris, a small nocturnal primate that thrives in the tree canopies of southern India and Sri Lanka. Joining us is Professor Kaberi Kar Gupta, visiting scientist at the Indian Institute of Science and founder of the Urban Slender Loris Project, who shares her decades-long journey from studying forest ecology to pioneering urban ecology and urban wildlife conservation in Bengaluru.Professor Gupta recounts her early fascination with nature, from growing up in the green outskirts of Kolkata to working in the forests of Tamil Nadu. Her research on primate ecology began in the forests of Kalakad–Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, where she studied slender loris behavior, home ranges, and mating systems, uncovering intricate details about their ecology and survival strategies. Over time, she turned her attention to how these primates adapt to city environments — leading to the creation of the Urban Slender Loris Project in Bengaluru, a groundbreaking citizen science initiative that brings together researchers, local communities, and volunteers to monitor and conserve these elusive nocturnal primates.The discussion dives into the urgent need for urban biodiversity conservation and biodiversity management in rapidly growing cities. Professor Gupta highlights how urban green spaces — once thriving with life — are vanishing under expanding infrastructure. Through the project, community members were trained to conduct night surveys, map loris habitats, and identify key trees and corridors that sustain these animals. Their collective effort revealed both the resilience of urban biodiversity and the fragility of these ecosystems under urban expansion.We also discuss the results of a recent study on public attitudes towards slender lorises in Bengaluru. The findings show that while urban residents often appreciate local wildlife, awareness about species like the slender loris remains limited. Cultural myths, once linked to black magic, are fading, but habitat destruction and lack of awareness continue to pose serious threats.Professor Gupta's reflections go beyond the science — touching on her personal experiences in wild Karnataka, encounters with wildlife traders during early conservation work, and moments of awe witnessing tigers and lorises in their natural habitats. Her message is clear: connecting people to nature within cities is essential for the future of conservation. As more people become urban dwellers, initiatives like the Urban Slender Loris Project show how science, community participation, and empathy for wildlife can coexist in even the most crowded environments.Whether you're a student of urban biology, a wildlife enthusiast, or a conservationist, this conversation offers a profound look into how small nocturnal primates like the slender loris can inspire a new model of biodiversity preservation in the heart of India's tech capital.Tune in to discover the story of the slender loris — the hidden primate of Bengaluru — and how local communities are shaping the future of urban wildlife conservation.About the HostAnish Banerjee is an early career ecologist, with a MSc in Ecology, Evolution and Conservation from Imperial College London.

C is for Conserving the Natural World

In July 1545, King Henry VIII watched from Southsea Castle on England's south coast as his fleet sailed out to face the French - only to witness his prized warship, the Mary Rose, sink before his eyes. Raised from the Solent in 1982, the ship is now the centrepiece of the Mary Rose Museum, along with thousands more artefacts that were recovered from the seabed. But keeping the 500-year-old ship and its associated Tudor relics in good condition is no small task, which is where Dr Eleanor Schofield comes in. As Director of Collections at the Mary Rose Trust and a materials engineer by training, Eleanor has spent years tackling the unique scientific challenges of conserving centuries-old wood and metal. From the United States to Portsmouth, Eleanor's research is helping ensure this iconic vessel remains 'ship-shape' for generations to come. In a special edition of The Life Scientific, recorded in front of an audience at the museum in Portsmouth's Historic Dockyards, Professor Jim Al-Khalili discovers how cutting-edge science is keeping history afloat.Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor for BBC Studios

"A city is composed of different types of men; similar people cannot bring the city into existence." This quote from Aristotle's Politics opens Gaining a Foothold: Conserving Los Angeles' Queer Eden(dale), the master's thesis of alumnus Rafael Fontes (MHC/MUP '20). With the ongoing erasure of LGBTQ history from federal archives and programs, we're spotlighting our Season One interview with Rafael, whose thesis examined the first efforts to landmark LGBTQ historic sites in the city of Los Angeles. Rafael talks with producer Willa Seidenberg about why sites of LGBTQ significance are relatively hard to find, research, and designate. He shares three local case studies—the Harry Hay Residence, The Black Cat, and the Tom of Finland House—that reflect various aspects of the city's LGBTQ history, as well as the complexities in its conservation. Both timeless and timely, this episode underscores the vital importance of LGBTQ history in Los Angeles and beyond. See episode page for photos, links, and transcriptConnect with us on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn!

Welcome to Season 4 of the Think Wildlife Podcast, where we explore the frontlines of biodiversity conservation through stories that shape the future of our planet.In this episode, host Anish Banerjee speaks with Ram Pratap Singh, a social entrepreneur, conservationist, and founder of the Indian School of Nature, who has spent over two decades working to restore the Chambal River—one of India's most extraordinary examples of riverine conservation. Once infamous for its dacoits, the Chambal region is today a biodiversity hotspot, home to thriving populations of gharial, marsh crocodile (mugger), Gangetic dolphin, smooth-coated otter, and Indian skimmer. Ram describes how the Chambal Riverine ecosystem, once threatened by sand mining, overfishing, and pollution, was transformed into one of the most successful biodiversity conservation landscapes in South Asia.The conversation traces the rediscovery of the gharial in the 1970s, when the species was presumed extinct, leading to the launch of Project Gharial, one of the world's earliest captive-breeding and reintroduction programs. Singh explains how the combined threats of mining, riverbed agriculture, and plastic fishing nets once devastated riverine biodiversity, and how determined scientists and forest officers worked with local communities to rebuild habitats critical for gharial and crocodile conservation. He highlights how dedicated field staff revived the Chambal wildlife population from just 200 individuals to over 2,500 today through conservation breeding, making it a global model for wildlife conservation and biodiversity management.The discussion also explores the ecological and cultural role of gharials in India, their significance in Hindu mythology as the sacred vehicle of the goddess Ganga, and the ongoing challenges of maintaining this fragile riverine ecology. Ram discusses the looming threats of pollution, heavy metal contamination, climate change, dams, and river-linking projects that could once again endanger Chambal biodiversity. He underscores the urgent need to safeguard sandbanks, maintain ecological flows, and strengthen inter-state cooperation to secure the future of this unique riverine ecosystem.Ram also reflects on the evolution of his conservation journey—from founding the Chambal Conservation Foundation to establishing the Indian School of Nature, which now promotes climate-compatible agriculture, and environmental education. He also talks about his eco-tourism efforts at the Chambal Safari Lodge. His vision extends beyond wildlife, aiming to align human livelihoods with biodiversity management and the long-term health of India's riverine wildlife.This episode captures one of India's greatest conservation success stories: how the Chambal River rose from infamy to become a sanctuary for endangered species and a living symbol of hope for biodiversity and crocodiles across the subcontinent. Whether you're a researcher, policymaker, or nature enthusiast, this is an inspiring exploration of how local action can restore entire river systems.#Chambal #ChambalRiver #ChambalBiodiversity #RiverineConservation #RiverineEcology #RiverineBiodiversity #RiverineWildlife #ChambalWildlife #Gharial #MarshCrocodile #Mugger #IndianBiodiversity #Biodiversity #BiodiversityHotspot #BiodiversityConservation #BiodiversityManagement #CrocodileConservation #Conservation #WildlifeConservation #Crocodiles #Crocodile #Gharials #Conserving #RiverineEcosystem #ThinkWildlifePodcast #RamPratapSingh #AnishBanerjee #IndianSchoolOfNature Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

CONSERVING MOUNTAIN BONGO by Capital FM

In October 2020, Governor Newsom issued Executive Order N-82-20 which establishes a state goal of conserving 30% of California's lands and coastal waters by 2030 – known as 30x30. The 30x30 goal is intended to help accelerate conservation of our lands and coastal waters through voluntary, collaborative action with partners across the state. Five years later, how well has 30X30 met its goals? Join host Ronnie Lipschutz for a conversation about 30X30 with Meghan Hertel, Deputy Secretary for Biodiversity and Habitat at the California Natural Resources Agency, who recently drafted and published the 2025 annual progress report on 30x30, in coordination with the Governor's Office.

Balancing leadership, family, and chaos isn't about perfection — it's about presence, action, and authenticity.In Episode 205 of The Profitable Cleaner Podcast, we sit down with Amy, COO of Marrow, wife, and mom of four, to unpack the lessons she's learned from rafting rivers, running companies, and raising a family.From guiding whitewater rapids to managing multiple businesses, Amy has mastered the art of chaos management — and her principle of “hesitation is devastation” applies as much to life and leadership as it does to rafting.In this episode, you'll learn:✅ Why hesitation is devastation in both business and life✅ How to build an honest, evolving partnership in work and family✅ The myth of “work-life balance” (and why tension is more accurate)✅ How to conserve energy in the right spaces so you can lead with impact✅ Legacy vs. lifestyle: how to define success on your own terms✅ Why giving yourself time to think is essential as a leader✅ How authenticity attracts the right people — and filters out the wrong onesThis conversation is equal parts practical and personal, designed for leaders in the cleaning and facility services industry who are navigating growth, family, and purpose.

Episode 393 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Daniel Demetri, Founder & CEO of Trellis. Through the advancements of technology like cloud computing and AI, you no longer need to have a huge team to support a company that is hitting major levels of revenue. And, it's not just the ones you read about like Lovable, Cursor, Wiz, etc., as there are other companies that are able to achieve impressive feats with a relatively lean team. Trellis falls under this category. Conserving cash is an obvious benefit, but as Daniel explains, another advantage is speed. It removes the layers of an organization which in return allows employees to process information and make decisions faster. Trellis is an insurtech start-up with a mission to simplify and automate shopping for home and auto insurance by powering intelligent insurance experiences using machine learning, real-time bidding, and conversational AI, backed by a team of nationally licensed insurance advisors. The company is funded by top investors, including QED, General Catalyst, Nyca, and Amex Ventures. In this episode of our podcast, we cover lots of great topics like: * Daniel's background, including being a webmaster pre-college and some stories of the inner workings of Harvard. * His progression as a Product Manager at Google (including his interviews with Marisa Mayer) and how he got involved in startups. * Co-Founding a company that disrupted the title insurance industry called Doma which eventually went public and is now private, plus how this experience prepped him to be a CEO. * What led him down the path of starting Trellis and how the company is applying modern technology to the traditional model of insurance sales. * Lots of details about Trellis in terms of the team structure, hiring plans, and what's next for the company. * His thoughts on what makes a great product manager. * And so much more!

The fact that all ecological research is usually done with the guidance of a tribal person or what we call indigenous Adivasi person because they are the ones who know the forest and they know where what is flowering, what is fruiting, where is the horn bill nesting and what not. I hope you all carry a bit of the forest in your in your hearts.

Line crews often encounter wildlife while working in the field and constructing and maintaining infrastructure in their service territories. For example, Cooperative Energy in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, discovered a threatened population of gopher tortoises in their rights-of-way (ROW). After applying herbicides and investing in an integrated vegetation management (IVM) program, the utility was able to dramatically increase the population of these tortoises and carpet their ROWs in native grasses and wildflowers. This article, which was authored by Logan Martin of Corteva Agriscience and Wes Graham and Brad Morris of Cooperative Energy, first appeared in the June 2025 Vegetation Management Supplement. T&D World partners with the Utility Arborist Association (UAA) to publish this supplement each June.  If you have an idea for an article for the 2026 Vegetation Management supplement, a comment on this audio story or a suggestion for a future guest for the Line Life Podcast, please email Field Editor Amy Fischbach. I look forward to hearing from you!

This episode is the fourth installment in our summer series on "What Is the Right?" here on Giving Ventures. Over the course of the summer months, we are looking at the different factions and flavors of what it means to be on the right side of the ideological spectrum in this unique moment we're in. So far, we've explored the Freedom Conservatives, Libertarians, and the New Right. This episode explores the traditionalist wing of conservatism. At a quick glance, you might describe Traditionalist Conservatives as the social conservatives in the postwar coalition that culminated in the Reaganism of the '80s. But that's probably a little bit simplistic. On the landscape of the Right, the Traditionalists can be found on the opposite end of the spectrum from Libertarians. Order, virtue, and continuity with the past are of greater concern to the Traditionalists than unleashing the free market or ensuring government sticks to protecting life, liberty, and property. Conserving the principles of the American Founding is buttressed by the preservation of the Western Tradition and its tension between freedom and order. The episode features Daniel McCarthy and Luke Sheahan. Daniel is Vice President for Publications at the Intercollegiate Studies Institute and Editor of ISI's Modern Age, which was launched by Russell Kirk and Henry Regnery in 1957 as a forum for conservatives of various stripes to debate their ideas. Luke is an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at Duquesne University, and a nonresident scholar in the Program for Research on Religion and Urban Civil Society at the University of Pennsylvania. He is also editor of The University Bookman, the online journal of book reviews published by the Russell Kirk Center for Cultural Renewal.
