Most companies have a mission statement. But few are truly mission-driven in practice. In this episode, Jason Fraser joins Ashok to unpack what it actually means to prioritize mission over profit — and how the best organizations are able to do both. Jason reflects on the differences between performative mission language and the kind of operational decision-making that aligns tightly with purpose. He shares the concept of “mission ratios” and how teams can use them to identify where they're constrained, where they have leverage, and how to get disproportionate outcomes from limited inputs. Drawing on examples from Patagonia, World Central Kitchen, and a federal asylum processing team, Jason walks through the tools and frameworks that mission-first leaders can use to improve focus, clarity, and measurable impact. Whether you're running a nonprofit, a B Corp, or just trying to do more meaningful work, this episode gives you language and direction to guide your team's decisions. Plus, Jason shares how to spot the ratios that matter most — and what to do once you find them.

Permettre aux pêcheurs dans des régions reculées du Kenya de garder leurs poissons frais et les connecter aux acheteurs dans la capitale, c'est le pari de Keep IT Cool, une start-up kényane spécialisée dans la vente et la livraison de poissons et de poulets. Sa plateforme, Markiti – « marché » en swahili – connecte l'offre et la demande. Avec un objectif : limiter les pertes pour les pêcheurs et producteurs. De notre correspondante à Nairobi,Keep IT Cool a son entrepôt en bordure de Nairobi. Ce matin-là, des caisses de poissons sont en train d'être déchargées d'un camion. Ce sont des tilapias, en provenance de la rive ougandaise du lac Victoria. Une fois réceptionnés, les poissons suivent un parcours bien précis, sous la supervision de Brenda Abucheli, responsable du contrôle qualité. « Une fois que les poissons sont déchargés, on les pèse, puis on s'occupe de leur préparation, décrit-elle. On commence par l'écaillage, puis on les vide et enfin, on les lave. Une fois que tout ça a été fait, on les trie par taille puis ils sont empaquetés et partent dans notre entrepôt de stockage où ils sont gardés au frais avant la vente. »En plus des tilapias, Keep IT Cool reçoit aussi des perches du Nil du lac Turkana, au nord-ouest du Kenya. La start-up réceptionne en moyenne entre 15 et 20 tonnes de poissons par semaine, et une à deux tonnes de poulets. Ils partent ensuite vers des hôtels, restaurants ou même chez des particuliers de Nairobi. À travers sa plateforme en ligne, Markiti, l'entreprise souhaite mieux connecter l'offre avec la demande. « On commence par analyser la demande, principalement dans les zones urbaines, puis on va voir les pêcheurs et on leur commande exactement ce dont nous avons besoin. Ça permet d'éviter la surpêche et les pertes », explique Francis Nderitu, son directeur. À lire aussi Nutrition : comment conserver les aliments correctement à la maison ?Connecter les petits producteurs aux marchésUne fois que c'est fait, des camions partent récupérer les commandes auprès des pêcheurs organisés en coopératives. « Nous les avons équipées de machines à fabriquer de la glace et de glacières, ce qui permet aux pêcheurs de respecter la chaîne du froid. Ensuite, nous récupérons le poisson et le vendons », poursuit-il.Keep IT Cool est née en 2020. Cette année-là, la pandémie de Covid-19 a perturbé les chaînes logistiques. Venant d'une famille d'agriculteurs, Francis Nderitu dit en avoir vu les conséquences. Les producteurs peinaient à vendre leurs produits : « Dans les régions rurales du Kenya, c'est un véritable problème. Même les “bons jours” les producteurs peuvent perdre jusqu'à 40 % de leurs récoltes, ce qui engendre par conséquence une perte de 40 % de leurs revenus. C'est ce problème que nous tentons de résoudre. En introduisant non seulement un système de réfrigération abordable pour les producteurs, mais aussi en leur donnant accès à des marchés. »La start-up vient de remporter un des prix Earthshot qui récompense chaque année des lauréats pour leurs initiatives dans le secteur de l'environnement. Keep IT Cool a été récompensée pour sa lutte contre le gaspillage et recevra un million de livres sterling. La start-up compte aujourd'hui une centaine d'employés. Elle ambitionne de voir l'offre s'agrandir à d'autres produits et de toucher d'autres marchés de la région.À lire aussi Environnement : deux lauréats africains figurent au palmarès 2024 des prix Earthshot du prince William

In the episode, we are joined by our colleague, Online Royal Correspondent Danielle Stacey - who recently joined Prince William in his capers in Cape Town. Danielle opened up about her incredible time covering Earthshot and hearing the Prince of Wales speak up close and personal.  We also discuss Queen Camilla's big TV moment with her new documentary, which delves into the issue of domestic violence and King Charles' inspiring birthday plans (prompting a fierce debate about whether ignoring lunch is an acceptable practice or not)! We also chatted about Princess Kate's wonderful appearance at the Festival of Remembrance, where she was supported by her good friend and fellow royal, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh.  The gang were also delighted to be joined by royal author Robert Hardman, who recently updated his fantastic biography of King Charles III with plenty of new details and information, who discussed the royal family's updated funeral plans, as well as Prince Andrew's finances after finding the funds to remain at the Royal Lodge residence.  Robert also opened up about the King's relationship with his youngest son Prince Harry, and whether the pair are any closer to reconciling following their fallout. Oh, and who can forget Robert's knowledge about the late Queen's diaries, and when he expects they'll be used for biographers in the future.

We hear about innovative environmental projects awarded millions of dollars in this year's Earthshot prizes. Also: the twins cleaning streets for free; detecting tumours with graphene; and a remarkable Himalayan rescue.Presenter: Andrew Peach. Music composed by Iona Hampson.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 5:00 I've been dealing with chronic pain. I watched Agatha All Along and loved it. Chandra doesn't like Kathryn Hahn, which I understand. Chandra highly recommends the movie Conclave. Poltics: Minutes 5:00 to 15:00 Trump won the election and it was a shock to put it lightly. We both believed that Kamala Harris was going to win. She ran an impeccable campaign. She was so on message, she was clear about her objectives, she had a literal to-do list and she emphasized inclusion and moving forward together. We're so disappointed in people. Here's the tweet from Baltimore's mayor that I mentioned. We don't think there's a way that Kamala could have run a better campaign, she was so disciplined. We're happy that Kamala won in our state of Virginia. Royals: Minutes 15:00 to 23:30 Since we last recorded, Charles and Camilla went on an anemic tour of Australia. Prince William went to South Africa for his Earthshot ceremony, tried to look statesman-like and failed. He got booed there. We remember how Camilla spread covid. Chandra mentions that Queen Elizabeth caught covid right after Charles and Camilla did. Prince Harry and Meghan purchased a villa in Portugal, where Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank live. It turned out that this was a very smart decision, since Trump has threatened to deport Harry. We talk about RFK Jr potentially removing flouride from the drinking water. Trump is credited with helping fund the vaccination rollout, but he can't take credit for it because his base is antivax. We remember when Trump talked about getting vaccinated and got booed. Comments on the Week: Minutes 23:30 to end Chandra's comment of the week is from Whyforthelove on the post about Kamala Harris losing the election. My comment of the week is from pottymouth pup on that same post. Thanks for listening bitches.

The Prince of Wales was in South Africa this week for his annual Earthshot prize and gave a candid insight into his "brutal" year. And what are the implications for the Royal Family following the election of Donald Trump? Does Harry have reason to be worried? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Charles and William were recently outed for hiding secret millions, refusing to pay taxes on all income and investing in businesses that undermine their climate change initiatives... amongst other things. In the wake of that scandal they've desperately tried to divert attention away from their shady business, but their ploys only serve to highlight how sinister they really are. Prince William continues with his earthshot charade despite his and Charles' duchies making a fortune off of businesses and projects that worsen climate change... not help it. He has also made grand statements declaring his intent to end homelessness, only to find out his and Charles' duchies not only charge their patronages rent, but often times at market rate... and even ABOVE market rate. Couple that with the fact that several of their residential properties rate F and G on a standard rating scale (with A being the best). They're PR rehab only spotlights how they are contributing far more to the problems they pretend to care about resolving. It also appears William used Earthshot to stake his claim in Africa, as he has been known to be quite territorial over his presence their in an attempt to best his far more credible and philanthropic brother, Prince Harry. But Willy also seems to be using his latest trip to get closer to Heidi Klum, as his office personally asked her to attend his trip, all news coverage has involved her and him equally promoting the organization and attending events (including a barbecue on the beach), his wife isn't in attendance, and after all that Heidi admitted she didn't exactly know what Earthshot was. Is playboy willy looking to replace Rose Hanbury as his alleged mistress? While Kate was left behind while William globetrots, he's still using the fake "family man" image to further his one-sided competition with his brother, even copying his nickname. When it was revealed in 2020 that Prince Archie calls Prince Harry, "Papa", confirmed by a monogrammed leather folder he carried around New York on official business, now 4 years later William is sporting a bracelet allegedly given to him by Charlotte with the same name. Prince William has never been known to wear bracelets, let alone handmade bracelets like Prince Harry who's spoken about how each of his bracelets have a deep meaning, but William has also never been known to be called Papa... until now. CopyKate and Workshy WIlly are equally yoked. The ploys didn't work, as William was met with protests throughout his trip. After squaddies put up a wall of defense around the Sussexes, Charles, Camilla & Co have used to media to aim at William and Andrew. With Charles now claiming he is severing financial ties with Andrew over his friend with Epstein. Meanwhile Charles was friends with Jimmy Savile and Peter Ball.... even after their crimes were publicized. So his seperation from Andrew isn't related to Epstein, it's just another way to hoard wealth. Lastly, the #WhereIsKate conspiracy theories were blamed globally on Squaddies. Now the Sussex Squad definitely asked questions about the royal family's strange behavior at the top of 2024, and Kate's fake photoshopped pictures didn't help, but the actual crux of the conspiracies are now being revealed as a vast online network tied to UK Government Sanctions for Russian Disinformation. Kate NEVER HAD CANCER... she had precancerous cells according to her husband. Precancerous cells doesn't mean you have or will get cancer. it simply means a person has an increased risk of cancer, which should serve as a reminder for them to stay current with medical screenings.  ________________________________________ Contact Me:  Call:    (305) 699-5548 Email: HelloSharion@Gmail.com Creator Collab Sheet: https://forms.gle/WMhmSQy4vJfs95X39  Brand Collab Sheet: https://forms.gle/CuWmKLUrx86xwyNV6 Hashtags ​#HarryandMeghan ​#PrinceHarry #PrincessMeghan #DuchessMeghan #MeghanMarkle #RoyalFamily #SussexSquad ​#SharionSade #brf #InvictusGamesFoundation #InvictusGames #IGF #IAM #IAmInvictus #InvictusGamesVancouverWhistler2025 #InvictusGamesVancouverWhistler #WeAreInvictus Sources Deadline | https://deadline.com/2024/11/king-charles-cuts-prince-andrew-cash-backlash-over-jeffrey-epstein-friendship-1236165275/ The Guardian | https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/06/prince-charles-repeatedly-sought-jimmy-savile-advice-documentary-claims The New York Times | https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/10/world/europe/prince-charles-peter-ball.html The New York Post | https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/prince-andrew-38m-mansion-falling-195109468.html Heidi Klum Doesn't Know Much About Earthshot...

ABALOBI was founded in South Africa by Serge Raemaekers and Nico Waldeck as a non-profit partnership between fishers and scientists. Its aim is to protect small-scale fishing communities and nurture their ocean stewardship, while arming their customers with better information about where their seafood comes from. An ABALOBI app connects fishers with a digital marketplace where they register their catches and log precisely how, when and where the fish originate. For the first time, small-scale fishers have a tool to demonstrate transparently that they are fishing sustainably, and in exchange, they receive a fair price for their catch.  Dr Serge Raemaekers, 2023 EarthShot finalist See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 5:45 Chandra and I both watched The Perfect Couple and loved it! Chandra also loved the fourth season of Emily in Paris.  Royals: Minutes (5:45) to 24:15 After our last podcast Kate released a video with her family announcing that she was cancer free. It was self absorbed and the British media criticized her for it. King Charles is said to have disapproved too. It was reportedly Kate's idea, which makes a lot of sense. There were stories after that about how we weren't going to see Kate for a while and how her schedule wasn't going to get back to normal until the spring. We heard that she went to a ballet performance recently and that she's been having private meetings. This week Kate and William helped grant a 16-year-old cancer patient's wish to photograph an investiture ceremony, which was really nice. The Waleses were possibly motivated by Harry's recent press and the comments from Buckingham Palace about Kate's video. Last week Prince Harry was in New York for a series of appearances. He also was on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to tour his haunted house, which was fun. Cameron Walker of GB News tweeted that Harry is a veteran and that he was surprised that he got scared for that reason. Over the weekend Harry dipped in and out of London to attend the WellChild Awards. He didn't see his dad at all. When we recorded Harry was visiting Lesotho and South Africa. While Harry was getting so much positive press in New York, the British press tried to attack the Sussexes on two fronts. One was that Harry and Meghan must be having relationship problems because Meghan wasn't with him on these trips. We heard she was sick maybe she has covid and/or she just wanted to stay home with the kids. Then they dusted off that old chestnut about Meghan being mean and making her staffers cry by asking them to do their jobs and sending them email. It was unhinged and they got some US outlets to run it this time, including The Hollywood Reporter. They got one specific story about Meghan allegedly screaming at a florist in 2018, however the florist for her wedding went on the record to say it was great to work with her. The lack of specifics about what Meghan allegedly did is so telling. The Sussexes pushed back against these lies with an US Weekly cover story including quotes from people who work with them and went on the record. Of course Meghan and Harry are thoughtful, kind bosses. The reaction to the US story was unhinged. We wonder why The Hollywood Reporter parroted British talking points about Meghan circa 2018. William tried doing a bunch of stuff as Harry was getting press. He posed in front of some new London Air Ambulance Charity helicopters with David Beckham and he visited a company called Enso where he changed a tire. This week there was a story that Victoria Beckham doesn't like Meghan, but it seemed manufactured by the press. Prince William tried to poach Chef Jose Andres by putting him on the board of Earthshot, but Andres made it clear that he's still good friends with Harry. William still has that unattractive patchy beard because he wants Harry's style and life. Comments of the Week: Minutes (24:15) to end Kaiser's comment of the week is from sevenblue on the post where Tom Parker Bowles calls Charles “the loveliest man in the world.” Here's a link the photos Chandra mentioned where Camilla is scratching her vag. I remember when Camilla went maskless to a cooking event right after Charles tested positive for covid. My comment of the week is from Pinkosaurus on the post about Olivia Nuzzi filing a complaint with the FBI against her ex-fiance. Thanks for listening bitches!

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 4:15 I watched Thunder Force on Netflix and loved it. Chandra had to subscribe to ESPN+ due to DirectTV's feud with Disney. She is watching In the Arena with Serena Williams. Royals: Minute 4:15 to 21:00 The last time we recorded the Sussexes had arrived in Colombia. They pulled off that trip like professionals and the optics were amazing. Colombia's Vice President Francia Marquez said that Harry and Meghan's visit really highlighted tourism. We heard that it only cost Colombia less than $60,000 to provide security for them. The Sussexes did a great job making photos available to agencies. Emily Andrews let it slip that Buckingham Palace had talking points about this trip. King Charles went to Southport last week to visit the families of children who were murdered in a knife attack. Charles has been staying in Scotland at his smaller home, Birkhall, while other members of the family stay at Balmoral. Kate was seen headed to church there on August 25th. There was a story in GB News that Zara and Mike Tindall were being asked to relieve Prince William and Princess Kate. There's an undercurrent that William and Kate are incapable of doing their jobs. Prince Harry made a secret visit to the UK last week to go to his uncle Robert Fellowes' funeral. Harry stayed at Althorp with the Earl Spencer. You could tell that the Windsors were super mad they didn't know about Harry's visit ahead of time. The Windsors are mad at how much the Spencers support Harry. There's been a narrative in the British press that Harry wants to come back to the UK to do royal work. It's clearly coming from William's side. This narrative has been pushed by William for years. Chandra thinks this storyline is an attempt to distract from what's going on with Kate. Toward the end of this month Prince Harry is going to be in New York solo for UN climate week. He's going to speak at the Clinton Global Initiative. Prince William will not be going to NY on behalf of Earthshot despite pathetically trying to copykeen Harry's trip last year. We wonder why William and Kate didn't do any events during the Sussexes' trip. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie: Minutes 21:00 to 31:30 This week both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt premiered their movies at the Venice Film Festival. Angelina is starring as opera star Maria Callas in the biopic Maria. She is getting Oscar buzz for that and it's coming out on Netflix. Braad is starring with George Clooney in the Apple streaming movie Wolfs. It was supposed to come out in theaters but that's not happening. Brad Pitt made his red carpet debut with Ines de Ramon. Brad and Angelina are covering People Magazine this week with the title “Brad and Angelina, their 8 year divorce, Can they Finally Move On,” as if Brad's legal battle against Angelina is mutual. The whole narrative comes from Brad and it's the same garbage we've seen from him for years as he uses legal means to continue to try and punish Angelina for leaving him after he abused her and their children. Brad Pitt looks pulled and puffy recently. There's been a shift in public perception about Brad Pitt, especially since Shiloh changed her last name. Comments of the week: Minutes 31:30 to end Chandra's comment of the week is from It Really Is You, Not Me on the post about Justin Theroux's engagement. My comments of the week are from HeatherC and Indica on Rosie's post about Oasis potentially adding US dates to their tour. Thanks for listening bitches!

Julia Reichlstein is the CEO and Co-founder at Vaulted Deep, a carbon removal company that injects carbon-rich waste slurries deep underground into permanent geologic storage. They've come onto the scene quite fast recently securing just north of a $58 million order from Frontier to sequester over 152,000 tons of carbon between now and 2027, which is Frontier's largest commitment yet. They're one of 20 finalist teams still in the mix for the $100 million Carbon Removal Xprize, and one of 24 semi-finalists of the DOE's Carbon Dioxide Removal Purchase Pilot Prize. Try saying that three times fast.They also recently announced an $8 million seed round led by Lowercarbon Capital with participation from Earthshot, Woven Earth, Collaborative Fund and others. We got to know Julia and her co-founder Omar Abou-Sayed as they set up Vaulted as a spin-out of Omar's waste disposal company, Advantek. Vaulted is a complex set of operations based on a relatively simple construct: Humans have been sucking geologically stored carbon in the form of oil out of the ground for 150 years now. What if we could put it back? In this episode, we cover: Backgrounds of Vaulted's co-founders and the company's mission How Vaulted turns organic waste into carbon storage Julia's shift from venture capital to carbon removal Advantek's history and technological contribution to Vaulted Technical details of Vaulted's sequestration wells Types of wells used in Vaulted's process Community and environmental benefits Vaulted's business model and financial sustainability The rigorous process for selecting and processing waste for carbon removal Comparison of carbon removal strategies and Vaulted's unique approach Financial and ecological benefits of Vaulted's methodology Hutchinson Kansas facility's role and historical significance Vaulted's partnership with Frontier for carbon removal Vaulted's participation in the $100 million Carbon Removal Xprize competitionPotential global health impact of Vaulted's technology Open roles and opportunities at Vaulted for furthering its missionEpisode recorded on Jun 17, 2024 (Published on Jul 11, 2024) Get connected with MCJ: Jason Jacobs X / LinkedInCody Simms X / LinkedInMCJ Podcast / Collective / YouTube*If you liked this episode, please consider giving us a review!

Australian Sam Elsom wants to fight climate change with an algae. With his idea, the former fashion designer made it to the finals of the prestigious "Earthshot" prize, whose judges include Prince William. If his algae solution were applied to just 15 per cent of the world's cattle population, global emissions could be reduced by three gigatonnes. - Der Australier Sam Elsom will den Klimawandel mit einer Alge bekämpfen. Mit seiner Idee schaffte es der frühere Modedesigner ins Finale des prestigeträchtigen „Earthshot“-Preises, zu dessen Juroren Prinz William gehört. Würde seine Algen-Lösung auf nur 15 Prozent der weltweiten Rinderpopulation angewendet, so könnten die globalen Emissionen um drei Gigatonnen reduziert werden.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 5:00 I saw a bear in my neighborhood while walking my dog. Chandra saw an otter in person. She wonders why humans haven't domesticated chipmunks yet.  Royals: Minutes 5:00 to 19:30 Since we recorded last week, the Invictus Games wrapped up in Dusseldorf. The next Invictus Games will be February, 2025 in Vancouver. We got to see Harry and Meghan looking loved up and happy and interacting with spectators and competitors. It's obvious how popular and respected they are around the world. The Invictus Games always make the royals look bad because Harry's work is impactful and important. We talk about the NATO delegation to the Invictus Games. William went to New York for two days to announce the Earthshot finalists as the UN General Assembly met. He was not invited to the UN, which Harry was invited to and addressed last year, but he did do a photo op with UN Secretary General Guterres. He also went to FDNY Ten House, across the street from ground zero, which Harry originally visited in 2009. Mayor Eric Adams was supposed to meet William there but he canceled a half hour before it was scheduled. When Meghan and Harry were in NY in 2021 they did a photo call at One World Trade center with NY Governor Hochul and then Mayor De Blasio. Both Harry and Meghan have spoken at the UN as well. At the end of his trip there were two pieces in the Daily Mail claiming that Americans find William sexy and amazing and it read like such propaganda. The purpose of the trip seemed to be to convince British people that Americans love William, but it didn't work. Chandra wonders if this is a rollout for William being single. Kate stayed back in England and did a bunch of stunt queening events. It really looks like she's trying to upstage William. On Monday she visited a naval base and then on Tuesday she wore a beige suit to visit a youth charity in London. We wonder what's going on with her hair. The Earthshot Awards are scheduled for Singapore on November 7th. We heard this week that Kate is not expected to go. She had been scheduled to go for months. We got stories about how Kate took a helicopter to the naval base and how environmentally unfriendly that is.  Charles and Camilla arrived in France on Wednesday. It was rescheduled from March due to the protests in France and the threats against Charles. They went to a state dinner with the Macrons and Camilla wore a navy Dior gown and sapphire jewelry. Charles addressed the French Senate, in French, about the urgency of addressing climate change. I think Camilla got a thread lift but Chandra thinks it's just photoshop. Comment of the Week: Minutes 19:30 to end Chandra's comments of the week are from Waitwhat on the post about the royal press being incurious about the royals and Pinkosaurus on the post about Kate taking a helicopter to the naval base. My comment of the week is from BlueNailsBetty on the post about Drew Barrymore defending herself on video for bringing her show back during the strikes. She's since reversed that decision.

While “Moonshots” attempt to address climate concerns with disruptive technology, more immediate solutions are needed, so what are “Earthshots”? And which ones should investors pay attention to? Head of Global Thematic and Public Policy Research Michael Zezas and Head of Thematic Research in Europe Ed Stanley discuss.----- Transcript -----Michael Zezas: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michael Zezas, Morgan Stanley's Head of Global Thematic and Public Policy Research. Ed Stanley: And I'm Ed Stanley, Morgan Stanley's Head of Thematic Research in Europe. Michael Zezas: And on this special episode of Thoughts on the Market, we'll discuss the potential of "Earthshots" as an investment theme in the face of intensifying climate concerns. It's Wednesday, December 14th, at 10 a.m. in New York. Ed Stanley: And 3 p.m. in London. Michael Zezas: While climate continues to be a key political and economic debate, it's clear we're moving into a new phase of climate urgency. There's a significant mismatch between the pace of climate technology adoption, and the planet's need for those solutions. Here at Morgan Stanley we've done work around "Moonshots", ambitious and radical solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems using disruptive technology. There are some big hurdles with moonshots, however. First, they require significant political support. Also, the process of gradual, iterative decarbonization technology adoption will occur more slowly than investors expect. Given this backdrop, there's a growing need for urgent solutions. Enter what we call "Earthshots". Michael Zezas: Ed, can you maybe start by explaining what Earthshots are and what the framework for identifying these Earthshots is relative to Moonshots? Ed Stanley: So a Moonshot is an early stage technology with high uncertainty, but also high potential to solve a very difficult problem. And for Moonshots, the key investments are in R&D and proof of concept. An Earthshot, on the other hand, is more of a middle stage technology with generally lower uncertainty, proven potential and Earthshots the key investment here is really around scaling the technology quickly and cheaply. And Earthshots are more radical alternatives to otherwise slow and steady status quo in the decarbonization world. And we think about them broadly in two sets. Some are nearer term decarbonization accelerants, and others are longer term warming mitigations and adaptations. And I guess we can get into a bit more detail on examples in a minute. But to your question on frameworks, it's exactly the same framework that we used in Moonshots, and that is academia, patenting, venture capital and then public markets. Academia around breaking new ground and how quickly that's happening. Patenting to protect that intellectual property. Then venture steps in to provide some proof of concept for that idea. And then public investment is typically needed to scale it. And you can track almost any invention over time using that sequence of events all the way back to the patent for the light bulb in 1880, all the way up to carbon capture today. Michael Zezas: Ed, what types of specific problems are Earthshots trying to solve, and which ones should investors pay particular attention to, both near-term and longer term? Ed Stanley: So if you look at the nearly 40 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions that we put into the atmosphere every year and you split it by industry, our Earthshot technologies catered to over 80% of those emissions. Be it electrification, manufacturing, food emissions, there's a radical Earthshot technology for decarbonizing each of those. But if we break them down into two categories, we have environmental Earthshots and biological Earthshots. On the environmental side, we have carbon capture, smart grids, fusion energy. And on the biological, we have cell based meat, synthetic biology and disease re-engineering. If we go into a bit more detail on the environmental Earthshots, there's been a lot of noise in fusion in recent days. But I think carbon capture for now is where investors need to focus. And for those thinking how is carbon capture an Earthshot, we've been hearing about this technology for years now, well, the unit economics and tech maturity are only really now getting to that critical balance where it can scale. And the 21 facilities globally that are doing this only capture around 0.1% of global emissions. The largest project in Iceland annually captures around 3 seconds worth of global emissions. So we're still very early days and it's all about scale, scale, scale now. On the biological side, I think the $4 trillion TAM in synthetic biology, which is the harnessing of biology and molecules to create net carbon negative products, is truly fascinating. But the one that piqued my interest the most doing this research, and has actually seen comparatively negligible funding is disease re-engineering. And if the planet does continue to warm, despite our best efforts in decarbonizing and carbon capture, then another 720 million people by 2050 will be in zones that are susceptible to malaria, mainly in Europe and the U.S. And companies using gene editing are having great success. There's a 99.9% efficiency and efficacy of wiping out malaria in the zones that these trials have taken place. Perhaps less pressing immediately than carbon capture, but from a social perspective, with half a million people dying per year from malaria and that number set to grow if warming grows, I don't think it's a theme that investors can ignore for very much longer. Michael Zezas: Got it. And Ed, it's often said that each decade has one investment theme that outpaces others. And while this decade's in its early innings, there's several contenders. There's the new commodity supercycle, there's digitalized assets and cybersecurity. Another theme in the running is Clean Transition Technologies. How does Earthshots fit into the investment megatrends for the next decade? Ed Stanley: I mean, that's absolutely fair. Markets move in ebbs and flows of macro themes and micro themes being the winning investment each decade. We had gold in the seventies, oil in the 2000, and then interspersed with that Japanese equities and U.S. Tech in the eighties and nineties respectively. And we do appreciate it's rare when you look back in time for hard assets, which clean tech and Earthshot technologies typically are, for hard assets to win that secular theme crown, so to speak. But we're already seeing a changing of the guards in private markets away from long secular bets on technology, SAS, fintech towards hard assets and security infrastructure. So that is the shift in investing from bits to atoms, which is well underway. And that's happening because not since the Industrial Revolution really have we been so uniformly mobilized to transition to a new paradigm in such a short space of time. But opposing that, I guess we should ask where could we be wrong? Well, for climate tech to be the winning investment trade of the next ten years, the irony is that this trade no longer lies in the tech proving itself necessarily or reaching cost parity. I think we've done that in many cases, that is in the bag. The success or otherwise of this being the secular investment theme for the 2020s will lie much more in reducing permitting bottlenecks, for example, and skills bottlenecks around the installation of some of this Earthshot technology. And that, too, actually is where investors can find opportunities in vast reskilling that's needed. But on balance, yes, this, in my view anyway, is the secular trade of the next decade. Michael Zezas: And you've argued that a challenging macro environment is precisely the time to dig into Moonshots. It seems that would even be truer of Earthshots, would you agree? Ed Stanley: I think that's a reasonable assumption, yes. If you look at companies over time, over 30% of Fortune 500 companies were founded during recession years, and many more of those were founded coming out of recessions as well. And crudely, the reasons are twofold. One, product market fit and unit economics have to be ideal in a downturn when you have consumers feeling the pinch and business customers reining back on spending. But secondly, investors pull back on their duration and risk appetite, clearly, and capital becomes more concentrated, and the R&D bang for your buck you get in downturns, ironically, is better. But when you add on to that current stimulus packages like the IRA in the US, you have all of the component parts you need for innovation breakthrough. And I would actually stress even more simply, we need some of these breakthroughs, more physical world breakthroughs than digital ones. Because without these breakthroughs, we simply won't have enough lithium for the EV rollout, for example, we'll be 22% light. It's not just will this happen in a downturn, it has to happen in a downturn, irrespective of the macro. So, yes, now I think is an excellent time to be looking at Earthshots and not simply just at the peak of frothy markets. Michael Zezas: Well, Ed, thanks for taking the time to talk.
