In this episode, Divya speaks with Scott Hardy. Scott is an Extension Educator with the Ohio Sea Grant College Program, where he leads research and runs education and outreach programs on watershed restoration, coastal zone management, and stormwater runoff. He is also an Adjunct Associate Professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Case Western Reserve University, where he works on several research projects. Scott's work is all about collaboration — bringing people together to solve problems that no one can tackle alone. He knows that collaboration isn't automatic. It takes time, trust, and spaces where people feel heard and included. He also believes that every place is different, and you need to really understand the local context to make teamwork work. Different projects need different kinds of partnerships, and Scott is skilled at figuring out what each situation needs. In this episode, they talk about Scott's ongoing work on Cuyahoga River restoration, where he has been closely collaborating with a wide range of stakeholders ranging from state agencies to industry to local communities. They also talk about his recent experience as a Fulbright Specialist at the Universidad de Atacama in Copiapó, Chile, where he was invited to share his expertise on sustainable water management.  References:  Hardy, S.

Colette explores how summer, a season of heat, light, and intensity can support sadhana, your conscious spiritual practice. Sadhana refers to any intentional, disciplined effort we make to align with our higher Self, whether that's through meditation, mantra, prayer, mindful movement, self-inquiry, or acts of devotion. She explains how we can harness our inner fire (tapas) and creative light (tejas) to align more deeply with purpose. It's an opportunity to live in alignment with our unique path (dharma). Colette covers the following: Avoiding summer stress and burnout. Understanding tapas - the sacred inner fire. Summer as a season for sadhana. Tejas - the light of creative insight. Aligning with Soul purpose. * CELEBRATING 8 YEARS OF PODCASTING!!! To express my heartfelt appreciation for your support, I'm offering 10% off ALL of my Online Services until August 6th, 2025.

In this insightful episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we are joined by Divya Karnad, one of India's leading marine conservationists and the co-founder of InSeason Fish, a pioneering initiative promoting sustainable fisheries and responsible seafood consumption across India's coastal communities.From India's vibrant marine ecosystems to its threatened fisheries, this conversation dives deep into the ecological, social, and economic dimensions of marine biodiversity loss and ocean conservation. Divya Karnad draws from her extensive research and fieldwork with fishing communities to shed light on the nuanced challenges of natural resource management, the impact of bottom trawling on benthic habitats, and the broader implications of the climate crisis on marine wildlife.The episode explores:* The founding philosophy of InSeason Fish and how it connects seafood consumers with small-scale sustainable fisheries.* Ecological damage caused by unsustainable fishing practices, including bottom trawling and bycatch.* The hidden role of government fisheries subsidies in perpetuating ecosystem degradation.* Practical conservation interventions led by fishers themselves: reducing net soak time, temporary fishery closures (like the Chennai “Reserve Bank” model), and gear modifications.* The integration of marine sustainability education into Indian school curricula and culinary institutes to promote biodiversity conservation among youth and chefs.* The role of the IUCN Shark Specialist Group, and Divya's leadership in incorporating human dimensions into shark and ray conservation.* The listing of shark and ray species under India's Wildlife Protection Act, and why that may not be enough without better regulation of marine fisheries.* Her reflections on working across stakeholders—from fishers to restaurants to policymakers—and how one seafood restaurant fully adopted her conservation model by hiring a fisher as their procurement lead.India is home to over 160 species of sharks and rays, many of which face threats from overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change. This episode provides both a sobering look at the state of Indian biodiversity and a hopeful roadmap for how marine ecology and biodiversity management can be reshaped through grassroots action and systemic change.Whether you're a marine biologist, policy enthusiast, conservation student, or seafood lover, this episode offers valuable insights on how you can contribute to marine conservation in India—starting with your plate.To learn more or find out which fish are in season, visit: www.inseasonfish.comDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more conversations on conservation biology, climate change, and biodiversity protection.#fisheries #sustainablefisheries #coastalconservation #oceanconservation #marineecology #marineconservation #marinebiodiversity #marinewildlife #conservationbiology #biodiversity #biodiversityconservation #biodiversitymanagement #climatechange #climatecrisis #naturalresourcemanagement #biodiversityprotection #Indianbiodiversity #marineconservationists #marinefisheries #fish #sustainability Get full access to The Think Wildlife Podcast at anishbanerjee.substack.com/subscribe

This isn't the first time we've talked about LinkedIn. But in this episode, we cover specific recommendations for the content you should create and post as well as a proven process for connecting with clients. My guest is content writer Divya Agrawal and what she shared could change your approach to LinkedIn for the better. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground The How to Write Emotional Copy Masterclass   Full Transcript: Rob Marsh: If you've got enough clients or you're not willing to put yourself out there to find the clients you need, well, you can probably skip this episode. This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. Like last week, we're revisiting a recurring topic on the show this week, but unlike last week, the recurring topics isn't persuasion or psychology. This week we're talking about the biggest challenge facing almost all copywriters and that's finding clients. Even established copywriters will struggle with this from time to time. One of the trusims of business is that if you don't have clients willing to pay you for the work you do, it doesn't matter how good your website is, it doesn't matter how good a writer you are, it doesn't matter that you can solve your client's problems better than anyone else… without the client, you don't have a business. My guest this week is Divya Agrawal, a SaaS and Tech copywriter who has deep experience finding clients on LinkedIn.  Divya started her career as a programmer but quickly figured out she was on the wrong job track, so she switched to writing. The lessons she shares from her experience launching this new business will help any copywriter or content writer who is looking for clients to work with. Specifically, Divya used LinkedIn to create connections with prospects. Her success posting content and making comments on other posts is a model for other writers who want to do the same… and LinkedIn is where a significant number of the people who hire copywriters hangout and connect. If your clients are there, you need to be there too. In this interview, Divya shares the questions she uses to vet her prospects before they become clients, and she outlines exactly how you can connect with clients on LinkedIn yourself. This is informaiton she charges her coaching clients for, but she's sharing much of it today for free. Before we jump into our interview, a little while ago I recorded a masterclass to show copywriters, content writers and other marketers how to write “emotional” copy. Everyone says emotions sell, but how do you actually write emotional copy? I walk through more than a dozen examples in this masterclass and give you a proven process for figuring out the right emotions to focus on as you write… and how they change as you make your pitch. The masterclass includes several bonuses on storytelling, using A.I. to find dominant and transformational emotions, and much more. You can get this masterclass at thecopywriterclub.com/emotion And now, my interview with Divya Agrawal. Divya, welcome to the podcast. I'm excited to hear your story and to talk about how you're finding clients, but tell us, how did you become a freelance copywriter for Tech. Divya Agrawal: Thank you so much for having me on the podcast, Rob, I highly appreciate this chance to talk to you. I have been a big fan of your podcast, so it's really cool that I get to sit here and share what I know. Yeah, I became a freelance tech writer back in 2017 end of 2017 after a year long stint at a IT company as a software engineer, I was a Salesforce developer for a year, and that didn't work out. I did not like the corporate environment. I did not like the work I was doing. So then I was like, I need to do something else. I had always been a writer. So I was one of those kids in school who is asked to write other kids speeches.

Life often becomes a rush of tasks, leading to a disconnect from ourselves, our breath, our inner rhythm and the rhythm of nature.   Ritual helps us return to ourselves within our existing routines. It transforms mundane actions like showering or having tea into moments of presence and appreciation.   Approaching self-care practices as rituals, rather than tasks that need to be checked off daily, fosters a sense of being rooted, nourished, and present, bringing us closer to our true selves.   In this episode Colette wants to encourage you to transform your Dinacharya, the Ayurvedic daily self-care practices, from mere routines into deeply nourishing rituals that foster a stronger connection with your inner self. This involves moving beyond simply completing tasks and instead taking the time to listen to your inner guidance, allowing you to make more intentional and meaningful choices for your well-being. She covers the following: Daily self-care practices (dinacharya) as a blueprint for alignment. Why routine can feel empty. Turning routine into ritual. Mindset shifts: from doing to being. The psychological, spiritual and energetic benefits of sacred ritual. Personalizing and flowing with your daily ritual.  * Visit Colette's website www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com  Online consultations & Gift Vouchers Next discounted Group Cleanse starts October 3rd, 2025 Private at-home Digestive Reset Cleanse tailored to you Educational programs - Daily Habits for Holistic Health Have questions before you book? Book a FREE 15 min online Services Enquiry Call * Join the Elements of Ayurveda Community! * Stay connected on the Elements Instagram and Facebook pages. * Enjoy discounts on your favourite Ayurvedic products: Banyan Botanicals - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Divya's  - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA15 at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Kerala Ayurveda - enter discount code ELEMENTS15 to receive 15% off your first purchase.** LifeSpa - Save $10 on a $50 or more one-time purchase with the code elements10.  **Shipping available within the U.S. only. * Thanks for listening!

Stanford University has long been a feeder for the neighboring tech industry with graduates often heading to a brand name of Silicon Valley. But the times, they are a-changin’, according to writer Jasmine Sun. She reported recently for the San Francisco Standard that building tech for the military has become cool on campus. One student, Divya, said her “most effective and moral friends are now working for Palantir.” Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Sun about how this shift compares to when she attended Stanford in the late 2010s.

When we think of dieting, restrictive eating, calorie counting, and short-term trends often come to mind. Ayurveda takes a different approach. It offers personalized dietary advice that nourishes and heals your body. Rather than a short-term restriction, Ayurveda views food as an integral part of a sustainable, holistic wellbeing strategy which helps to keep your body/mind in balance, preventing dis-ease.   Colette discusses why Ayurveda doesn't align with modern dieting: One-size-fits-all diets ignore individual needs. Modern diets focus on physical appearance, not health. Modern dieting often promotes restriction and deprivation which can weaken digestion. Lack of consideration for timing of meals with the Circadian rhythm. Mindful eating is not addressed and how it affects digestion. Modern diets can create emotional and mental stress. Diets often don't consider seasonality and environment. Ayurveda focuses on disease prevention, longevity and sustainability * Click here to learn more about discounted group Digestive Reset Cleanse starting March 28th, 2025 * Visit Colette's website www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com  Online consultations & Gift Vouchers Private at-home Digestive Reset Cleanse tailored to you Educational programs - Daily Habits for Holistic Health Have questions before you book? Book a FREE 15 min online Services Enquiry Call * Join the Elements of Ayurveda Community! * Stay connected on the Elements Instagram and Facebook pages. * Check out these recommended Ayurvedic sites and enjoy discounts on all your favourite Ayurvedic products: Banyan Botanicals - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Divya's  - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA15 at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Kerala Ayurveda - enter discount code ELEMENTS15 to receive 15% off your first purchase.** **Shipping available within the U.S. only. * Thanks for listening!
