Beyond the Sunday Sermon The Immeasurable Mercy with Guest Ellen Martin 11.22.23
When it comes to plastics, we're in a real bind. We have yet to develop and scale attractive alternatives to the petroleum-based plastic products we all use every day, and the plastics industry drives well over a billion tons of greenhouse gasses, that's roughly 4% of total global emissions and plastic-related emissions are on track to double by 2060. Meanwhile, a small fraction – we're talking less than 10% – of plastics are recycled. Creating a circular economy for plastics is vital to eliminating the flow of plastic waste into our environment and to reducing the emissions generated from creating new plastic products. Today's conversation focuses on an ambitious effort to catalyze and fund the systems change needed to get us there. Circulate Capital is working to unlock a billion dollars to invest in circular solutions, and its partner Circulate Initiative offers research and insights to track this space and help recruit more private and public investment in this space. We're joined by Ellen Martin, Circulate Capital's Chief Impact Officer, and Umesh Madhavan, Research Director for Circulate Initiative. We talk about the history and state of the plastics crisis, their current efforts, and the investment opportunities they see. Circulate has impressive momentum in building coalitions of different kinds of investors – from governments to Fortune 100 companies. This blended finance approach is surely a key to mobilizing the commitment we need, and I was grateful to learn so much about it through this conversation. Here we go.

It aids climate action in three ways. It complements decarbonization measures, it supports the sustainable scaling of the clean energy transition, and it enhances adaptation to a changing climate. The value creation opportunity is US$4.1 trillion, according to one estimate. Our guest, Ellen Martin from Circulate Capital, is greatly involved in investing in this space. In the podcast, she first provides some background on the circular economy in general and plastic circularity in particular, and how it ties in with climate action. She also describes the investable market as well as government policy and regulation. From the perspective of private equity, we then dive into the business and investment opportunities in the Asia region, including a discussion on the types of investors as well as some examples of Circulate Capital's investments. (Link to The Circulate Initiative's report referred to by Ellen: Plastics Circularity Investment Tracker)Ellen Martin is Circulate Capital's Chief Impact Officer. In her role, Ellen is responsible for driving impact and insights for the firm and managing ESG through the investment process.

During her tenure, the Fund deployed $50M with $200M co-invested in projects in North America, resulting in avoidance of 2 million tons of GHG emissions in the first three years. Before she discovered her passion for the circular economy, Ellen was a strategy consultant at FSG, the social impact consulting firm, where she worked with Fortune 500 companies, philanthropic foundations, development banks, and nonprofit organizations to develop, implement and evaluate impact strategies.

With a background in professional dancing and cheerleading, coaching, music, and marketing automation, Jade combines these skills to serve her favorite people in the world – entrepreneurs. As a digital marketing and automation consultant she saw that entrepreneurs often made the same mistakes, so she pivoted her time and energy to a greater purpose of speaking, educating, and networking. When entrepreneurs can connect at the right time for the right reasons, sparks can fly.. And Jade lives for the *sparks!* And here's what Jade means when she says “when entrepreneurs can connect at the right time for the right reasons..” Jade often talks passionately about her professional relationships – the digital marketing community, and mainly, the Keap community. “When I quit my job and jumped into entrepreneurship in March 2020, the world was beginning a pandemic lockdown — so literally nothing was easy. But when Greg Jenkins and Brian Keith urged me to get certified as a Keap Consultant, I was introduced to more and more amazing people every day. “I soon met another one of my great mentors, Ellen Martin, and with hers and Brian's and Greg's communities and guidance, my business was booming. “And it didn't stop there. Every amazing person I met who selflessly gave me support and advice, kept introducing me to another amazing person, and so on and so forth. Doors kept opening more doors, and there certainly wasn't a lack of businesses to help. “That's when I realized that as a consultant, I couldn't help and inspire as many businesses as I wanted. So I took the Lifecycle Marketing Concept (as promoted and refined by Keap and FUEL) and wrapped my own stories and experiences around it, to create a powerful message and movement that I could use to inspire entrepreneurs all over the world.” “That's why I created JadeOlivia.co. I love consulting, but if businesses all over the world could be inspired by sound customer journey concepts and, more importantly, the amazing network that turned me into who I am, we'd all be in a better place.” Book Jade today, or email Jade to ask about what kind of digital marketing service provider might be right for YOU.

Our special guest Rev. Ellen Martin leads a ministry called A Life Shared that's purpose is to empower, equip and engage parents (and their kids) to have open and honest conversations about how God has designed us and human sexuality. learn more at www.alifeshared.com In this sermon, Ellen is preaching from Genesis 2-3. At the very beginning, as soon as sin entered the human race, shame and guilt immediately followed. We hide from God, and don't want to be found. We are ashamed in our "nakedness". Listen to hear how God wants you to return to the garden and not be ashamed any longer, for grace covers everything that is brought into the light.

Is the art of meaningful conversation dying? You bet it is. Conversation is yet another casualty of our digital world. Did you know that there is a section of Wiki How devoted to teaching the basics of creating meaningful conversation?? I’m not joking! Ellen Martin, a wife and mother of 5 boys, with a Masters of Arts in Christian Education and Master of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary, has been troubled by this communication trend as well. As a former Children’s Pastor, she loved children’s sermons. On her website she explains that she loved working with kids “because I got to make ‘adult’ things make sense to kids. With five kids of my own, I’ve had lots of conversations with kids, not just discipline and life management, but conversation.” Ellen began work on a book she recently published, called “A Life Shared: Meaningful Conversations With Our Kids.” As we visited with Ellen I was struck by her wisdom and insight as she navigated our questions and concerns regarding meaningful conversation. It was clear that she has had years of experience in this field and has very normal kids and a very normal life full of challenges and trials.

This episode is dropping on October 8th because this day in history marks the 145th anniversary of a day when terrible fires wiped out cities and took the the lives of thousands of people in 1871. One fire, the Great Chicago Fire, is well known, but there were other big fires, including one that not many people know about that actually claimed more lives and that was the Peshtigo Fire. The summer had been abnormally dry and it did not take much for the fires to spark and spread. The stories about these disasters are tragic, leaving behind emotions and turmoil that seem to fuel paranormal activity. And then there is the odd twist that these deadly fires occured on the same day. Join us as we share the history and hauntings of the 1871 Infernos! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by Michael Rogers and features the baby eating giant statue in Bern and This Moment in History features the Second Opium War. Our show topic was suggested by listener Ellen Martin.
