This Deep Dive series is all about why motherhood is so gosh darn hard. Turns out there are sociopolitical forces at play that make motherhood way harder than it needs to be. Listen to the full playlist on Spotify. When we explain to our partners and families that we need them to pitch in around the house, we sometimes hear back that the real problem is our too-high standards. That if we actually think "doing the laundry" means FOLDING the laundry, instead of leaving it in the dryer, that that is just too high a bar. Eve Rodsky, author of FAIR PLAY, suggests that partners establish a "minimum standard of care" for household duties. But how does that get set? And is that really all it takes? In this episode, Amy and Margaret discuss: How to use "community standards" to determine minimum standards of care The tired old idea that women have impossible standards Why it might be your system that's the problem and not your partner Here are links to some of the resources mentioned in the episode: Sheila Wray Gregoire for Bare Marriage: EMOTIONAL LABOR SERIES: HOW DO WE DECIDE WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?

From Surfboards to Sustainable CompositesWhat started as a DIY surfboard made from recycled cardboard quickly turned into a deep-tech material startup. François initially entered—and won—an innovation competition in California. But the surf industry was too niche, so he pivoted to a broader mission: replace carbon-intensive materials in furniture, mobility, and industrial design.What Is Airboard's Innovation?Airboard transforms recycled cardboard into composite sandwich panels, competing directly with wood, aluminum, and even honeycomb cores. Their breakthrough lies not just in the material—but in the machinery they've developed to treat and mold the waste without water or high energy use. The result: lightweight, strong, and fully moldable bio-based composites.Scaling Through Machines, Not MegafactoriesUnlike traditional manufacturers, Airboard isn't building one big factory. Instead, they're creating a scalable machinery platform, inspired by models like Tetra Pak, to enable local production at the source of waste. This distributed approach is designed to keep emissions low and business margins healthy.The Challenges of Hardware-Led InnovationDeveloping novel materials is hard. Developing machines to produce those materials is even harder. François shares how most of Airboard's progress has been self-funded or bootstrapped—and why fundraising is now critical to accelerate R&D and scale production. The team is currently raising €2 million to build next-generation machines and meet growing demand.The Power of Events: From Techstars to JEC WorldAirboard's journey was accelerated by attending JEC World 2024 as a visitor. There, François connected with Techstars, joined their sustainability accelerator, and gained exposure to investors and industrial partners. A year later, Airboard returned as an exhibitor—now part of JEC Startup Booster, the Innovation Planet, and the bio-based materials showcase.Why Airboard's Model ResonatesBio-based & circular: They reuse waste without water or chemicals.Low-energy manufacturing: Their machines are analog, efficient, and easy to deploy.Custom shaping: Thanks to composites, the material can be molded into complex designs.No sanding: Their process eliminates time-consuming post-processing steps.The Bigger Vision: Local MicrofactoriesFrançois isn't chasing headcount or mass centralization. His vision is a network of local microfactories, embedded in places where cardboard waste is abundant. From automotive OEMs to IKEA-style furniture producers, he believes Airboard machines could sit within customer facilities, enabling on-demand, sustainable material production.A Fresh Take on SustainabilityWhen asked what's most needed for real sustainability in the composites industry, François doesn't cite regulation or capital. He says: time. Time to think differently, to explore outside the box, and to develop better systems. “The most valuable thing in the world is time,” he says—something big manufacturers often lack.Learn More About AirboardWebsite: [Coming soon — follow updates on Trashboard]Instagram: @trashboardLinkedIn: François JaubertCurrently raising: €2M to scale production and finalize next-gen machines Be sure to follow Sesamers on Instagram, LinkedIn, and X for more cool stories from the people we catch during the best Tech events!
