In deze aflevering van de Metavers3 Podcast duiken we diep in de wereld van connected products, slimme NFC-tags en de toekomst van circulaire economie met Guido Nuijten, co-founder van Booomtag en ondernemer in hart en nieren.Wat begon met een aangespoeld kiteboard groeide uit tot een revolutionair platform waarmee producten zoals helmen, snowboards en zelfs kookplaten worden verbonden aan unieke digitale paspoorten. Booomtag is niet alleen een technologische innovatie – het is een visie op eigenaarschap, duurzaamheid én veiligheid.We hebben het over:• Hoe één vondst op het strand leidde tot een scale-up.• Waarom grote merken geïnteresseerd zijn in Booomtag.• De kracht van NFC + blockchain zonder dat de gebruiker het merkt.• Hoe deze technologie diefstal en namaak tegengaat.• En de droom om de “Gore-Tex van connected producten” te worden.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek we are joined once again by our pal and backpacking legend, Andrew Skurka. We cover a host of new subjects including the future of dedicated satellite communicators with smartphones introducing satellite texting capabilities, what he foresees for the fate of rain gear in light of the move away from PFAS, how the first season of guiding trips went in Yellowstone, his favorite backpacking destinations in each of the lower 48s four time zones, and he gives Chaunce a live, in-person questionnaire to match her with the appropriate backpacking route, like an old school Facebook quiz. We're also joined by Andrew's wife, Amanda, and we chat about more relationship and personal topics like what it's like for your spouse to be in the backcountry for several months of the year, the challenging decision between having kids or not, the benefits of a DINK lifestyle, and much more. This is a wide-ranging conversation, from technical backpacking subjects to more intimate, personal topics, and I think and hope you'll really enjoy it.  We wrap the show with how one unlucky hiker realized Badger's near fate of being wedged between boulders for several hours in pursuit of her phone, our biggest low stakes conspiracy theories, Chaunce ran a marathon, and the triple crown of cocktails.

Utah in winter? Chef's kiss. Whether you're a ski bunny or a movie buff, this is the place to be. Picture this: late January rolls in, and Utah transforms into a winter wonderland. Snowy peaks call out to skiers, while Park City turns into a hub of glitz, glamour, and indie-film magic with the Sundance Film Festival. It's the perfect blend of adrenaline and artsy vibes.This week, Sofia and her mountain-man-extraordinaire and slight-ski-bum brother, Sebastian Blanno, hit the mic to talk about Utah's winter hotspots. Sebbi (our in-house Travel Brat ski king) knows his slopes, and he's here to spill the powdery tea on the best resorts, runs, and eats in the Beehive State.The Best Time to GoSebastian recommends the middle of January to early February. Why? Peak powder and prime Sundance season! Double the fun and twice the glitz, glamour,  and magic of Sundance, plus the slopes are pretty empty despite the crowded streets! (P.S. If you're hitting Sundance, pack your boots AND your black-tie looks. You'll thank us later.)Here are Sebbi's Must-Visit Ski Havens in UtahPark City & Park City Mountain ResortThe Stats: Park City Mountain Resort, combined with Canyons Resort, is the largest ski area in the United States, with over 7,300 acres of skiable terrain. But keep in mind, large does NOT mean BEST!The Level: A great beginner, intermediate mountain with many “cruiser blues.” Similar to Vail Resort in Colorado.The Vibes: Once a silver mining town in the 19th century, Park City oozes charm with its historic buildings turned into trendy shops and restaurants. Did we mention you can ski past old mine shafts? Epic. Deer Valley ResortThe Luxe Life Vibe: With ski valets, snacks in the lift lines, gourmet on-mountain dining, and unparalleled service, Deer Valley Resort is consistently ranked as one of the most luxurious ski resorts in North America. You can even get a view of some mega-mansions on your way down the slopes! This is boujee skiing at its finest; perfect for our die-hard Travel Brats! Level & Terrain: Similar to Steamboat in Colorado, with great tree-skiing and many blue and black groomers. Also, no snowboarders allowed! Traditional skiing reigns supreme here.Little Cottonwood Canyon - The Iconic American Resorts of Snowbird & AltaSnowbird: A Travel Brat personal favorite, Snowbird is known for its long ski season, which can stretch to July 4th, and has very advanced terrain. Snowbird is also home to the famous Tram, which offers breathtaking views of the Wasatch Range as it climbs over 2,900 vertical feet. If you ski down into the mineral basin from here and then take one more lift, you can enter into Alta. Snowbird is similar to the Colorado resorts, Silverton or Aspen Highlands.Alta: A legendary U.S. Ski resort. Like Deer Valley, a snowboard-free paradise where traditional skiing reigns supreme. You can also ski back to Snowboird from Alta via the Tram or tunnel.Both Snowbird and Alta receive very similar snow accumulation, with Snowbird receiving about 600 inches in one season! Great for POWPOW skiing!Big Cottonwood Canyon - Solitude & Brighton:Solitude and Brighton are a snowboarder's dream. Lifts are spaced out, and the slopes have large open glades. These are your go-to spots for those craving quieter, more rugged vibes and killer backcountry terrain. Big Cottonwood also gets fantastic powder. Lifts are spaced out, and the slopes have large open glades. Similar to Colorado's Keystone (on the easy end) and Arapahoe Basin (on the difficult end), Solitude and Brighton are known as “social” mountains that the locals love.Favorite RunsSebastian's picks for thrilling runs? Snowbird's double black diamond run, “Lower Organ Grinder.” Hit Park City's “Quittin' Time” run for those postcard-perfect views and Snowbird's “Cirque Traverse” for heart-pounding challenges. Aprés Ski EatsPost-skiing, Sebbi raves about the Handle in Park City for its creative small plates and The Iconic Ruth Chris Steakhouse for a splurge-worthy feast. Try the venison! A favorite Park City Bar is “the Pig Pen Saloon” where you can get a $1 T-shirt with the purchase of a shot.Fun Utah Trivia: True or False?Utah's snow is called "The Greatest Snow on Earth" because it's super light and fluffy.True. The dry climate = primo powder.Sundance started in 1968, thanks to Robert Redford.False. It kicked off in 1978 as a small showcase for American films.Spielberg, Lucas, and Kubrick debuted films at Sundance.False. Legends like Tarantino and the Coen Brothers owe their big breaks to Sundance.It's illegal to throw snowballs in Utah without consent.True. Yep, Utah takes snowball fights seriously. Be sure to get consent before engaging in a snowball fight!“Stuff” You Should KnowSnow in Utah is not as dry as it is in Colorado, however, the temperatures don't feel as chilly. All resorts (with no traffic) are between a 20-35 minute drive. In addition, the Salt Lake City Airport is only 20 minutes from Park City.What to PackLayers, people! Layer using a GORE-TEX or other water-repellent gear to combat Utah's humidity. You'll need cozy après-ski sweaters, and something chic for Sundance. Bonus: pack sunscreen—mountain sunburn is real. Budget BreakWith the base regular Ikon Base pass, you can enjoy 5 days at Brighton, Snowbird, and Solitude. With the upgraded Ikon pass, you can enjoy 5 days at Deer Valley as well. This costs about $1,200. To ski Park City, you need to buy an Epic Pass. You can purchase a 3-day Epic pass for $320. Keep in mind, this $1,500+ splurge includes, not just Utah Skiing, but most other resorts for your entire ski season. Visit the Ikon and Epic websites for more info on resort options and perks. If you are driving from another western state you will end up spending roughly $200 on gas, if you share a hotel with 3 to 4 friends you will end up spending about $600 per person for 3-5 days, and if you are a foodie and a drink lover, budget about $2,000 per person. If you like memorable merch, set aside $100 for a souvenir or two.Most Memorable Moment: Sebbi's Solo Tram Run Sebbi's most memorable Travel Story was his last run at Snowbird down the “Great Scott” run right below the Tram. He blasted to the bottom and stared back at the mountain in awe at his entire experience. Catching him staring back at the Mountain, his Buddy said “You like Snowbird Bass?” and he said, “Oh Yeeeeeea.” Snowbird will always hold a place in Sebastian's heart as one of his favorite resorts.Why Visit Utah?Here's Seb's elevator pitch: Thick. Powder. Culture. Adventure. Whack. Extra. Different. Unforgettable. Whether you're carving through fresh POPOW or catching a future Oscar-winner at Sundance, Utah is the winter escape you didn't know you needed.Catch ya on the slopes, Travel Brats! And don't forget to tag us when you're shredding those Utah slopes or striking a pose at Sundance.

Depuis quelques années, l'Arctique est partout, dans les romans, les séries, les rubriques de géopolitiques. Parce que la fonte de la banquise inquiète, parce que les appétits commerciaux et stratégiques s'aiguisent, parce que la région est devenue un décor d'intrigue de fiction qui font un carton en librairie. Dans cette nouvelle série, on explore son histoire pour comprendre comment l'Arctique est devenue cette immense surface de projection de toutes les angoisses de notre temps. L'Arctique est d'abord un milieu hostile et étrange, une région extrême, loin du confort des grandes capitales, un exotisme tout au Nord de l'Europe. Dans la première moitié du XIXème siècle, l'Arctique fait l'objet d'un enthousiasme scientifique, un défi pour les navigateurs, une destination pour les aventuriers. Alessandra Carcreff a réédité le récit de Léonie d'Aunay, un voyage en 1938 au Spitzberg, une île de l'archipel du Svalbard à près de 700 km au Nord de la Scandinavie dans la Mer arctique. Alors commençons comme des touristes sans avion, sans Gore Tex et sans 5G, sans même les femmes à l'exception d'une, notre héroïne du jour : Léonie.

I love systems. And I love systems for leadership even more.  We want a reliable way of building leadership capability that inoculates against power abuse and tyranny. How can we embrace new systems to bring leadership alive across the entire organisation? We need a systemic change in how we think about encouraging leadership. It starts with reimagining the geometry of an organization: from triangles we need to move to circles. Then working on expanding the power of the individual. My guest for T-TOK (Tea Time in the Office Kitchen) is Paul McCarthy, author of The F.I.R.E.D. Leader and he is on a mission to reshape the conversation about ​​, and how we need to shift how we recruit, train, and practice leadership if we are to normalise disruption and survive the era of exponential change. --- Become a Podcast Insider for subscriber only bonuses including an implementation checklist, discussion questions, water cooler factoids, and special subscriber-only offers.

James and Shereen discuss how to stay warm in the coldest winter yet and the warmest winter of the rest of our lives, because it will only get worse with Climate Change. Clothing in the cold Overall principles - cotton kills, it gets wet and stays wet and can freeze you - It is not so much about staying dry as making sure you can dry off quickly - Based on Mark Twight's system , you essentially want to create a warm microclimate around your body which is warmer than the microclimate and will encourage and allow vapour transfer out into the world, not keep vapour around you Base layer Here you're looking to wick moisture away from the skin and insulate while you're warm. You want something that fits and allows you to move   Consider that wool can get misshapen and has to be treated with care but it doesn't small like synthetic and it won't melt and stick to you. Wool drys slower as well .   Don't go too thick here, if it heats up or you heat up it really sucks to be locked into a thick warm base layer, I'd rather have a warmer active insulation layer and be able to strip down to a light base layer, for example when xc skiing uphill   Right now I am using a Black Diamond Rhythm which is a blend called Nuyarn, https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/product/m-ls-rhythm-tee/    when things get colder I have a 1/4 zip Artilect base 125gsm layer which I love. https://www.artilect.studio/us/m-boulder-125-1-4-zip-2211121-db-bk-1223#selection.color=6584     If you're looking for value, I think Helly Hansen synthetic base layers are great, I have some that I got when I was 18. https://www.amazon.com/Helly-Hansen-Lightweight-Breathable-Baselayer/dp/B001N2MLYC/ref=asc_df_B001N2MLYC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312128224504&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3455986774775180687&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031340&hvtargid=pla-559593705576&psc=1&mcid=c1a5450b28a23d6ba978cf0b812277bb&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI69D566vlgwMViNLCBB1ofw77EAQYAiABEgLFGPD_BwE    For legs I really like the kuiu base layer underwear with side zips and sized tk not overlap with socks https://www.kuiu.com/products/ultra-merino-145-zip-off-bottom-charcoal?variant=40340172701854    Wind layer This takes the bite out of the wind while remaining breathable . It needs to be cut big enough to move around in and go over your active insulation , and possibly your parka for protecting it in camp. For this reason some people advocate for a thing wind shirt which you can wear UNDER layers and a soft-shell which provides abrasion tresistance and is sized to go over layers   I love the mountain hardware kor air shell . The Pertex quantum air fabric is incredible and it's very small and light https://www.mountainhardwear.com/p/mens-kor-airshell-hoody-1985031.html?dwvar_1985031_color=357    A more robust wind layer that is very well respected is the Arcteryx Gamma, it's got a higher denier face fabric which will make it much more durable. It stretches well, is warmer,  and is fine for light rain https://arcteryx.com/us/en/shop/mens/gamma-hoody?cmpid=pm|mult|perf|google|Arc%27teryx_Google-PMAX_S22_Performance_BOF_R:NAM_C:USA_L:EN|All_Products||{ad_id}&utm_source=google&utm_medium=pm|mult|perf&utm_campaign=Arc%27teryx_Google-PMAX_S22_Performance_BOF_R:NAM_C:USA_L:EN&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwa_ByKzlgwMVwBOtBh3cgwz9EAQYASABEgL_ivD_BwE  A budget option is the British surplus smock, but these are a lot heavier and bulkier https://www.militarysurplusworld.com/product-eng-15751-BRITISH-SMOCK-WITH-HOOD-DESERT-MILITARY-SURPLUS-USED.html    Legs In general I would say I like to find pants that allow for venting but also block some of the wind.   I'm a huge fan of the beyond rig light pants because the mesh pockets also act as vents. I also like to have a kneepad pocket, and a built in adjustable bungee cuff on the bottom. https://beyondclothing.com/products/a5-rig-light-backcountry-pant  A slightly less technical pant I enjoy is the prana stretch Zion which I also love to climb in. https://www.prana.com/p/stretch-zion-pant-ii/1969791.html?dwvar_1969791_color=Cacao&dwvar_1969791_size=34&dwvar_1969791_dimension=32&mid=compshop&eid=google&nid=tnt_shopping_br_past_season_lf&oid=mens_bottoms&did=pla-293946777986&gid=6&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrvvqga3lgwMVHQytBh29ogzOEAQYAiABEgJH8vD_BwE   When it's really cold I'll use beyond testa soft shell  fleece lined pants https://beyondclothing.com/products/k5-testa-softshell-pant For work stuff, I really lie Truwerk https://truewerk.com/collections/workwear-pants-shorts-bibs?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwMKW-azlgwMVARKtBh0nGw0QEAAYASACEgIjbPD_BwE  Active insulation -The mid layer isn't a great term, it was invented when people used wool or fleece which weren't blocking wind very well so needed an outer layer . This is a layer that keeps us warm, but doesn't make us overheat when we are working hard. We want to look for something with a breathable material and/ or mechanical venting.These layers are great to sleep in if you're camping.   I really like grid fleece pattern layers for this, down tends to be too hot and doesn't breathe as well. Beyond has some great ones like the alpha aurora ( https://beyondclothing.com/products/mens-alpha-aura-jacket) or the celeris which I like but they stopped making . I look for Polartec's alpha (needs backing material) or alpha direct fabric (doesn't need) , it's very warm. I particularly like the mammut alpha 60 (donating 60gsm fleece weight) which they don't make any more, 90gsm is a bit warmer . A great value option here is the U.S. gi waffle top https://militarydepotusa.com/gen-iii-level-ii-underwear-tan-waffle-top-military-issue/  .   The outdoor vitals Vario (or the vents which is lighter) is a bit of an outlier here. It's a synthetic insulated hoodie. The vents has mesh under arms and a 1/4 zip and it's incredibly warm and light. I generally don't like a combo wind / insulation layer but this thing is fantastic https://outdoorvitals.com/products/vario-jacket    Static insulation - This is your big warm jacket, to be thrown on when you stop moving. People tend to lean to down here but consider that lower quality does can compact, and if it's not treated well it will fail to insulate if it gets wet. Good modern down is treated with DWR so it keeps loft in the wet. It is the warmest/ weight option and it packs well.     You want to look at the fill power of the down, this can go from 400-900 approx higher numbers indicate a better quality jacket. The number comes from a lab test that measures how many cubic inches of loft one ounce of that down fill produces. Higher fill power numbers indicate greater loft and insulating efficiency.   You also want to look at the fill weight, the amount of down used in the pier of gear. A lower fill power jacket with the same fill weight as a higher fill power jacket will be less warm. But a 400 fill power jacket with 60g fill weight will be as warm as a 800 fill power jacket with 30g fill weight , however the former will weigh more and be less packable.  For me I like to go above 100 when it's below freezing but I get cold a lot   Consider the denier count of the face fabric, it can go from single digits to 70 ish and a more durable face fabric will prevent you tearing it and losing down. I would also not opt for a jacket with tons of baffles as places where there are baffles are uninsulated and every stitch is a hole. a thinner face fabric is going to need babying around camp, or a layer over it   Where synthetic really stands out is that it can stand up to more weather, it's also cruelty free. It can be heavier and pack a bit less well. Here you don't get a fill power , but you do get a fill weight. Primaloft is the brand to look for here, as their synthetic insulation's are very well respected and they have biodegradable and post consumer recycled downs. Right now my main belay parka is a Beyond Anchor Belay Jacket https://beyondclothing.com/collections/jackets/products/mens-anchor-k7-belay-jacket  when it's really cold I have a Helly Hansen Odin jacket https://www.hellyhansen.com/en_us/odin-lifa-pro-belay-jacket-63108?color=627661  For a down option I can't find fault in the Decathlon offerings and they are great value and have ethically sourced down.  https://www.decathlon.com/products/forclaz-mt100-hooded-down-puffer-jacket-167571?variant=32494250360894&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIsemi-q7lgwMVGR-tBh0isgwkEAQYASABEgKlBvD_BwE  The ultralight subreddit does a great job of ranking full power / weight / price as well     Size up to go over your other layers Waterproof - this is for sustained downpours. Far too many people us gore Tex when a set wind layer would be fine. With water loots you have your laminates , with a waterproof layer, like goretex and PerTex, and your waterproof coatings on an otherwise non waterproof fabric .   With a waterproof you want a three layer , that way the fabric is protected on the inside and doesn't need a heavy and bulky hanging mesh liner like you get in a 2 layer . I suggest a minimum of a 2.5 layer   Waterproofing is expressed in terms of the height of a water column in mm, or in pounds / square inch. Higher numbers are better if you're often kneeling in snow or we ground. Another, more useful stat, is mm of rain in 24 hours, a higher number in the 20k range indicates a jacket that won't wet out on long wet days , gore Tex pro is at 28,000. Breathability is quantified in terms of mvtr, again over 20k is good here   You'll also want to look for seams that are taped , so water can't get in, and a good quality waterproof zip and mechanical vents . Hovering around freezing I like a jacket that I can get over my parka   For static waterproofing, consider wax over gore tex. It's much better for the planet and it's totally waterproof. I wax my own stuff all the time, and fjallraven has good wax to use for that .

Pablos: There's this idea that was just published that you could produce concrete and make it stronger by adding charred coffee grounds to the mix. And this is some research out of Australia. So concrete, if it's not obvious, is like the most used material on the entire planet, aside from oil, which we burn. Cement, is in everything, and it's this like staggering scale problem. Partly because of its contribution to greenhouse gases, right? So when you make cement, you're burning some shit to make a bunch of heat to make the cement and you need that heat and there are ideas to decarbonize cement by electrifying cement plants. But then there's this chemical process going on, which is the bulk of the carbon emissions. And there's just no way to get rid of that. So that's kind of the lay of the land. Interestingly, about half of all the cement in the entire world is made in China. That country is basically made of cement. This is one of the major targets for trying to do reductions of carbon emissions. And these guys figured out how to use coffee grounds. It's not totally clear to me that they're using, uh, used coffee grounds, I presume that's the case, because there's 10 billion Kilograms of used coffee waste every year that mostly ends up as biomass rotting in landfills. So this is worth solving. I thought this was kind of interesting. You can't just take the coffee and throw it in the cement because the oils and stuff in it will seep out and actually make the cement fall apart. They invented this pyrolyzing process where you basically heat up the coffee grounds to a specific, pretty high target temperature, around 500 C, I guess. That'll get rid of the oils presumably, and makes it into an additive you can just throw into the cement mix and it makes it 30 percent stronger. So I got two things that are kind of interesting, related to this. We Have a company our fund backed called DMAT, and these guys figured out how to make cement that's lower carbon, but the way they do it, is they solved this 2000 year old mystery in material science, which is, how did the Romans make cement? Ash: I was going to bring that up. Pablos: Yeah. Cause they made the, the Pantheon to like two millennia ago and it's still there. It's unreinforced concrete in a seismic zone. And then they, somehow got busy, watching Netflix or something and got bored and forgot all about how to make cement. And then nobody's been able to figure it out ever since. Ash: They were just looking at the colosseum. They were like, Hey, I'd rather look at the lion. Maximus Aurelius or whomever. And then that's it. They're like, forget it. Pablos: Look at the cool lion. Oh shit. The lion ate the guy who knows how to make the cement. Ash: Literally probably what happened. Pablos: That is literally probably what happened. So anyway, I got this team at MIT that figured it out. Ash: It was self healing, right? Pablos: We figured that out a little while ago. It's self healing because what happens with cement is it fractures, water seeps into the cracks and then destroys the cement from the inside out. And that's what's happening to our bridges and everything else we made. And so to make it stronger and handle that, we load it up with steel rebar. So it's steel reinforced, and then it still only lasts 50 years. The Roman cements, apparently lasting at least 2000 years. And what happens is it just gets stronger because when it cracks, water seeps into the cracks and it activates these lime deposits that are trapped in there. And so then the lime fills the crack and seals it up and heals the cement. Presumably the colosseum is just getting stronger over time. Now we know how to do that. So we can make cement that lasts virtually forever, use less of it, use less steel, and the kicker is, it's about 20 percent less CO2, out of the box without even trying. That's pretty dramatic considering the, the scale of the problem and the lack of other practical ways of decarbonizing. So these might be compatible, right? You might be able to also use this coffee additive. What I like about this is that cement is such a big thing. Most people just take it for granted. They don't know how. Intensive this is from a carbon emissions standpoint and the scale of it. this. You know like we can actually make things way, way better. with some of these ideas. Ash: And the way they were doing it, the Romans had volcanic rocks, so they had this ability to automatically have the little bubbles in it. But I think what's interesting is that, some people are like, oh, can we put plastic? Isn't that where we just got in trouble with microplastics? Let's solve one problem and then really screw up something else. The idea I was thinking is maybe this is where the coffee ground becomes like the aeration, right? Cause the whole structure was that as the bubbles popped, that was how the lime. Seeped back in, right? The water combined. Pablos: I think that was one of the theories that was debunked. I'm not positive, but I think that was the, like the prevailing idea, or it was kind of a half baked idea of like how this happened. And I think that is not what actually, it's nothing to do with the volcanic rock after all. Ash: It wasn't the volcanic, right? They had a couple , right? One was like some guy was trying to do bacteria. five, six years ago. That was the other crazy one, which was like, we will just have a living organism inside. The other question is, during production, can you trap, can you use it to just trap the stuff? Like, if you look at, was it clean, right? If you look at those guys, Pablos: So that's what DMAT solved. And they do it with this process called hot mixing. Which apparently was considered dumb for, I don't know, centuries or something. And so nobody tried it. Apparently using hot mixing they can get the lime deposits optimally trapped in the cement. I don't know all the details. Ash: I like it. Pablos: Yeah, so we'll get them on the podcast sometime and have them explain all the all the ins and outs. But yeah, pretty cool stuff. Ash: The challenge with almost all of these carbon reduction technologies is scale. Oh, hey, we're going to take carbon out of the sky. And it's like, okay, what did, what was the impact? Well, it's like half a car. Pablos: Right because the sky is like the most entropic source of carbon there is. Literally, the number 400 parts per million. Well, let's see. If you had a haystack, and you had, 400 needles and, a million pieces of straw, good luck finding a needle. It's literally, the hardest possible place to get carbon. If you want to, sequester carbon, the thing to do would be to just, leave the fucking coal in the ground. Where it's, the highest density of carbon you could find. So yeah, it's, it's kind of idiotic. Most of these things kind of solve themselves if you solve energy. If you had like a shit ton of free energy, then yeah, you could go do carbon capture from the atmosphere, but, otherwise it's pretty painful. Ash: The problem is, yeah, like you said, unless you can turn it back into like a diamond or something, like you said, put it back into coal. These magma guys are, are cranking. Maybe we can use those guys. You've heard of the magma guys? Pablos: What's the magma guys? Ash: These guys were doing the near magma experiment. They're like, we're just going to go 6, 000 feet, like just a little over a mile. What's a mile? 5,280 feet? So you just go a little bit into the mantle. Just tap into that hyper geothermal. Pablos: I don't know what you're talking about. Ash: Oh, so there's a project, just came out a couple of days ago that they revealed that they have a timeline on 2025. They're going to do two. One is an open magma bubble, it's in Iceland and then they're going to do another one on top of it. They're going to build like a little station and they're going to go straight down. This is poking the bear, I would say. Pablos: So they're basically trying to do a man made volcano. Ash: Yes, yes, that's the, that's the way to think of it. Pablos: Iceland doesn't have enough volcanoes. Ash: There's not enough problems where you could just suddenly drill a hole and burst the pimple of God, right? I don't Pablos: People are worried about AI, and here we are trying to make a cousin for Eyjafjallajökull. Ash: I like it because someone's like, "there's infinite heat." And I'm like, "yeah, but it's kind of down there for a reason." Didn't work out too well for a lot of people, right? Pablos: I don't understand, I guess if you succeeded at drilling that hole, then I think you would have basically the same thing as the makings of a volcano. Ash: Yeah, but they're trying to contain it, right? They somehow feel like, like they could drill in a place... Pablos: You're going to have to cycle it because if it cools, even if the magma comes up and cools, it's just going to plug your hole. Ash: So the point is that they have to get a turbine to magma, magma rotating. It's wild. It's going to be interesting. just liked the idea that, that someone's literally poking the bear. Pablos: Oh, they definitely should try. Ash: Cause you know, we talk about fusion being risky, but this one I just feel has a lot more problems. Pablos: Yeah, I think they're just gonna, the magma is just gonna plug the hole. Ash: No, they've got, they've got, some ideas. Yeah, well, it is pressure. It's under pressure. That's why I keep calling it a pimple. Pablos: Yeah, that's why volcanoes get made, right? Ash: That's why they gotta go to Iceland. But, the interesting thing is, if you could technically, if you could maintain pressurization all the way up to the top, right, then it can stay magmatic and you could technically build some sort of, high velocity magma drive. That's, what they're thinking of. And that will just keep cycling. Cooling, but just spinning this turbine. Pablos: What do you do with the magma that comes up hot? Ash: It becomes like a, a river. Pablos: You run the turbine, but then where does it go? You gonna pump it back down? Ash: Yeah, it's as if you were in a magma flow, right? So magma continues to move. It continues, it has a lot of movement, which people don't realize. Look, the minute I heard drill 6,000 feet into a thin crust lava magma I sort of went, Hmm, this cannot end well. That's, that's the way I looked at it. But who knows? Pablos: But it's just Iceland, so you know, there's only like 130,000 people there. They're tough though. If anybody can handle it... Ash: Don't you remember? Didn't, they stop all transatlantic flights? You remember right? There's like a little Ash: cloud and, so just Iceland, but it's, it's literally on the jet stream. We Have a few airplanes crossing right over Iceland. No more going to Europe or vice versa. Pablos: Yeah, well, we overdid it anyway. Europe is basically just like a suburb of the U.S. now. Ash: And Brexit. So, you know, Pablos: There's a lot of people who are trying to figure out how to decarbonize cement and it stalls out in part because there's like four or five thousand cement plants around the world, and they all cost $100 million to build in the first place. A lot of the ideas for decarbonizing cement require building a new plant. And even if you could build one, you're not going to build 4,000 of them. They're Just non starters. And that's part of why I like DMAT is that they can integrate in any cement plant with basically zero capex. You can just go in and upgrade, turn some knobs, and make a new formula. So, that's super cool, and hopefully this coffee based additive would have that property as well. Ash: I think what's interesting is just the coffee part of all this conversation. Pablos: If I go back to that article, it says that there's, 10 billion kilograms, which is 22 billion pounds of coffee waste a year. I presume this is post consumer grounds. Ash: This is probably commercial coffee grounds that they can track using, like, Starbucks. It doesn't include what we take home. Pablos: So it's at least something like three pounds of coffee grounds per human, for every man, woman, and child on Earth. I don't even drink coffee. So somebody else is doing double. The other one that we, got excited about and backed is this, startup called Marvel Labs. What's exciting there is they figured out how to use the used coffee grounds as an input material for 3D printers. That sounds like kind of a cute thing, but the truth is it's staggering implications. And it's because 3D printers, they're called rapid prototypers because we used them in labs and they were very expensive and impractical for a long time. And then in 2007, one of my buddies helped start MakerBot, and I was an advisor for MakerBot, which was the first consumer 3D printer. And so we thought we were gonna eventually build farms of these things like AWS, you'd just have a data center full of MakerBots and you'd wire them up to the "buy now" button, and whenever you clicked "buy now," a MakerBot would print your stuff and then print a box around it and then print a FedEx label on it. It would show up in the mail. Obviously that didn't happen, and here we are 15 years later, and you don't buy anything on Amazon that's 3D printed. There's two big reasons. One is they're one pixel printers, so they're super slow, and that makes it expensive. And then the other part of it is that the input materials are expensive, so you've got these high quality filaments, plastic filaments and things that are expensive. At the end of the day, you're competing with injection molding, which is like the cheapest way of making anything on Earth. And so, it hasn't worked out. There's a couple of exceptions. So for example, with metals, 3d printing of metals has worked out pretty well for two reasons. One, they're higher value parts. So you're printing, you know, jet parts and rockets and stuff. But also the technique in the printers is it's a powder bed, so you have this bin of powder, you run over it with a binder, like glue, from an inkjet head or a laser or something to sinter it together, and then, you pick up your part and shake it off, and you've got this part that was printed in a bed of dust. It's actually a very elegant way of making a 3D printer, and it's faster, because they're more like layer at a time instead of pixel at a time. Anyway, so what Marvel Labs did is they adapted that style of printer, which is fast, but the input material is these used coffee grounds and what the effect of that is, is now they can print stuff out of coffee. They're making all kinds of stuff. Sinks and light fixtures and bicycles and things. And the parts come out of the machine. They're made of coffee and then they just powder coat them with paint or metalize them so they look like metal and you can't even tell that it's made of coffee. And so this whole thing works awesome, but the main reason that it's important , and the reason that we invested, is that it flips the economics. So now, these parts that Marvel Labs is making, they've reshored manufacturing, they manufacture stuff in the U. S., they do it fully automated. And the parts are cheaper than doing it in Asia. That's what's exciting to me. They're also printing with seaweed. They're printing with sawdust. All the technologies they invented to make it work are about, printing with biomass in general. They're kind of the kingpin. Now we can get this whole vision together of producing things on demand in 3D printers in the U. S. Ash: It's interesting because several things, right? One is, like you said, it's not just, the on demand. All of our strategic risk starts to change, right? Think of what happens when, we get to a point where we're having another pandemic or, I don't know, they go after Taiwan. Supply chain changes if you're suddenly local, right? As long as we can get enough coffee into the system, we have enough of our own source material. Pablos: Ha, Ha, ha, ha. As a matter of national security, Americans are being asked to drink more coffee. Ash: It's a national security imperative that you get a frappuccino. Pablos: Well, I found out China just surpassed the U. S. as having the most Starbucks locations. Ash: China did. Frightening. I mean, Japan, Starbucks, whole different story. I was just looking at the botanical Starbucks in Japan, Starbucks is its own, own different conversation. But I was going to say that when you think about all of this, the implications for logistics, and one thing I wasn't sure on, on the way that they produced, what was their binding material? Because I know they're, one of the things they were talking about was biodegradability. Pablos: Marvel Labs has invented a variety of different binders. One of them is entirely sugar based. They use it with seaweed and they can make these biodegradable parts. Which is really cool, and then they have some top secret binders they invented that are super cool and they're not ready to announce them yet, but it's awesome. Ash: I saw some of the pieces. Pablos: Yeah. Oh, that's right. Ash: I got to actually play around with it. I, I think what's amazing to me is that the idea that you can cut production time. I don't know if it was an experiment or if they still do it, but remember there was Amazon Now. Where like they had little trucks going around and, and they had like USB cables or like whatever you needed, like that minute. Pablos: circulating your neighborhood With, that was loaded with the things that they predicted, were going to be bought. Ash: Yeah, 100%. That's what it was, right? They predicted that, everyone in Palo Alto needs like an extra USB cable. And they had one and you could get it like one hour delivery. Pablos: But that truck could just have a 3D printer in the back. Ash: That's exactly it. Right? Like imagine, how big are these things? How big are the printers? Pablos: The printers are, I'd say like 80 percent of the printer is the print bed by volume. So, if you have a printer the size of a refrigerator, 20 percent of it is gantry and other crap. And that's pretty typical of 3D printers, I guess you could say. And at least in a powder bed style printer. And the rest of the volume is printable. So, these printers are actually quite large. And one of the nice things about a powder bed printer is that you could just print a whole bunch of parts at once. You just fill up the bed with parts because they're just floating in powder because the powder is like the support material as well. It makes it easy to do big batches of stuff. If you're printing coffee mugs, you can print it and you got a fridge size printer. You can print, a couple hundred mugs or whatever all at the same time. And then, they just come out of there. I'd say 3D printing's future, over the next 10 years or so will be really focused on figuring out how to make multi material printers. There's a little bit of work on that now, especially trying to be able to do conductive materials. It'd be great to be able to print something like a game controller or a pair of headphones or something, have some of the wires printed in it. Ash: Maybe you have the recycled aluminum just like get blasted and powderized. I know of a magma plant coming up that might be able to... Pablos: Can we make a magma, printer? Ash: You take the aluminum, you feed it into the magma god and it comes out powderized. Pablos: Well, most aluminum comes from Iceland anyway. Aluminum is essentially made of electricity and they have access to cheap, clean electricity, Ash: That's the, the, secret, right? So we have infinite power and then they're just producing the conductive dust. One of the things I was thinking is like, how do you market this, right? Because we have to get a behavioral change on consumption. It's so easy to go with fast fAsh:ion, fast goods. We're addicted, I don't know if you've ever seen Wish? Pablos: Oh, uh, I know what it is, but I've seen Temu. I signed up for Temu. I ordered some shit before I found out it was obviously Chinese spyware app. And I um, I, bought some shit Temu cause it was so cheap. They're like paying you to take this stuff. And then it was like worse than infomercial products. Like I got these things and they're the cheapest possible things. And they had used like trick photography. I bought this bottle of, a cleaning product, I have it right here. I'm looking at it. It's this bottle called Foam Cleaner. I'm like, oh cool, I'll use that to clean the shower. I don't know what, kind of bug eye lens they must've used to photograph this thing. But when it showed up, the bottle itself is literally a 60 milliliter bottle, which is, that's like the size of, it's like a large bottle of nail polish, Ash: It's like, It's like, not even a perfume bottle. Pablos: And then it's got the full size spray head that you'd have on a bottle of Windex or something on it. So this whole thing, it looks like a joke. Nobody would ever do this. I've never seen a bottle this small with this big, like the spray head by volume is bigger than the bottle. Ash: So basically you've got a bobblehead cleaner. That's what you're saying. Bobblehead but foam cleaner. That's it. That's it. We can market it. Pablos: Yeah. I mean, I'm afraid to spray it because you know, like if I pull that trigger more than three times, the bottle will be empty. Ash: I'm sure it's not a neurotoxin or anything. Pablos: Okay. But anyway, the point being. Yeah, it's Temu and Wish and all this bullshit. I don't know about consumer behavior change. You would know more than me. What are the odds that we're ever gonna be in a world where people buy less shit? Ash: It's not that we buy less. I'm trying to figure out if we can shift them, right? Think about it. At one point, we were all obsessed around Gore Tex, it was like the magic, right? We had just left our class on osmosis and we were like, wow, it's like osmosis in a fabric, we were excited. Pablos: Maybe explain how Gore Tex works. Ash: Gore Tex's whole idea was about breathability, where the pores on the fabric were supposed to for air to go out, but water not to come in. Pablos: Which works because... Ash: It's surface tension allows the droplets to hold more together, so they're bigger than the water vapor molecules going out, right? So, so the molecular sizes are different. So you can create this sort of barrier. Now there's 50 versions of this to Sunday. But, Gore Tex was, was something which became a brand name, right? I don't know if it was before Intel Inside, but it was kind of the same concept, right? Saw a little label on Gore Tex. Pablos: It's like the Dolby of outerwear. Ash: It is. It was the Dolby of Outerwear. So I think somehow we've got to build that kind of reputational or brand concept, For example, if it's the seaweed and sugar and everything nice, right? Pablos: Okay. I see. Full circle brand where it's like "buy as much of this shit as you want. Whenever you're done we're just gonna turn it into the next shit you're gonna buy." Ash: it's not just recyclable... Pablos: It's like infinitely recyclable. Recycling is a is a joke. Ash: And the amount of energy and stuff that it takes is is sort of crazy, on that as well, right? So that's that's one of the, the sort of big, big problems that that happens with it. And I think one of the challenges is that we've got to figure out a way. That, something like what we're talking about in terms of, this new product, this new mechanism, this new process can be Gore Tex'd. Or Dolby'd, and a little bit more than like this is recyclable. I think we're kind of over it, right? Like we've seen the little symbol, we don't even know what's going on anymore. I know that in most countries they have like, at least like five bins. I think most Americans can't figure out like. What's up? There's a blue box. Pablos: You could imagine a version of this where, ultimately everything is just made of, some atoms, right? They have to come from somewhere. And then the energy it costs to, move them around and stick them together. So. You know, if you sort of just take that approach, you could say, okay, this stuff is made of this much joules and, this many atoms, like you could basically measure everything that way. Then you could say like, all right, well, the total cost of ownership in a given product could be added up that way. The cost of like mining all the shit, the cost of transporting around the world, the cost of, burning stuff to make it, whatever it takes. If you added that up for any object, it would probably be staggering. In the long run, you would, you, what you would like to do is track things that way and then be able to say, okay, this is kind of a full circle product, like an apple is probably like the closest you get maybe to a product that is low impact, it grows, we there, there's some energy cost in transporting it from a farm to your mouth, and then you eat it, you throw out a quarter of it as biomass. Ash: When you say an Apple, not your iPhone. Pablos: Oh yeah, I'm talking about like an actual physical apple. The kind you can eat. Yeah. Not an phone. Granny Smith, not a Macintosh. Ash: But maybe that's the score, right? Pablos: I think your Intel inside becomes... Ash: is it net negative? Is it net positive? Pablos: It's net negative or it's like close to the threshold of about an apple instead of being, at the threshold of like about a Tesla. Ash: That may be the interesting way to do it? So maybe a dynamic symbol is the way to think of it, right? So instead of the old Intel Inside or Dolby Atmos or whatever's going on, or Gore Tex, maybe it's about the level. Is there a number? Is there a score? Lasered in or 3D printed into the object itself or, or anything that you look at, it just tells you that this has a small number or a small something that people can understand that's better or higher or whatever. Pablos: Energy star. Ash: I look at something like calories. Like years and years ago, we all started getting obsessed and that definitely the generation that grew up with cereal boxes, who had nothing better to read. And we didn't have a iPhone to scroll. We read cereal boxes. We knew more about niacin and potassium in your cornflakes than any human should ever know. Pablos: It's true. I read a lot of cereal boxes. Ash: That's what you'd read. You read, you'd read the cereal box. When they changed the USDA standard for what you can see inside, the bigger format I remember that was like a big change on the packaging design. That was something where we could see the calories and then we realized, per standard serving size or whatever it was. And I think that at some point, the same thing has to happen, right? Each object that we consume or buy, can have that. There's actually a company. That we're looking at, called Love, like seriously called love.com. Uh, uh, I won't go into much more about that, but they're actually trying to change this, like specifically change this idea. They're trying to build an Amazon. First of all, they have love.com. I sort of tossed out the idea that it's powered by love. And that way, it can have a score, each thing you're buying. They curate what's allowed to be sold on there. So it's like an Amazon, but like, we're going to get rid of Pablos: So all you need is love. Love is all you need? Ash: It's true. That's their eventual goal is to go head to head with Amazon. A billionaire multi time, entrepreneur who's kicking this off. What's interesting, though, is I think people will start to recognize this. Pablos: Yeah, you could do some big branding campaign around, certified green or whatever, but it seems so like all these things are so gameable. I mean like calories, even like, I understand this as a kid, but now that I know what a calorie is like... Ash: It's totally gameable. Pablos: Oh my god, that's a totally fake thing that we made up that's, like, barely a measure of anything. Ash: That's why I picked it. I was going to say that with good numbers come good evil, right? Are you drinking a 12 ounce can of Coke? Was it like eight ounces? What did they do? It's interesting how it became a complete nonsense number? It mattered. We learned later that maybe the mix matters, and it wasn't about the sodium. And there's a lot of little bits that didn't matter. The question becomes, can you build something genuinely? There's another company, we invested in, Dollar Donation Club. And what's interesting about them is, when Seth, who's the founder, said, "Hey, I'm going to see if we could create the world's first super philanthropist." The idea that if we all gave a dollar a month, technically it's billions of dollars. You can make a lot of changes. He said," where am I going to give the money? I don't want to be another money place. I want to be something where I can see the impact." So he built a giant impact map of things he wanted to do. And he said, "okay, I want to know exactly how many kilos of microplastic are removed for my donation." Like, I don't care that I donate $1, $2. I was like, I'm willing to go and take out a kilo. Well, it turned out he can only get to like, I forget what the number is like 11 or 20 charities. It took that long and that his professional teams, like when they vet out what the charity really does. Pablos: Yeah. Ash: Almost no one qualified. So I think this is the unfortunate thing that's going to happen, right? So if our coffee friends bring it full circle, if Marvel can really like just crush it. Like they can demonstrate there's an actual true cost reduction I'm talking about from Guangzhou to, Columbus. By the time it gets there, like what actually happened and then the return leg, right? Like what happens on the back if, if that's actually a real score. That we can defend. Maybe that's what Marvel has to do. Pablos: The way it should be done probably is kind of like, consumer reports. There ought to be, like, life cycle metrics made for, the product coming outta Marvel Labs versus its competitor that came from Guangzhou. Here's your Samsung versus iPhone versus, Nokia or whatever and somebody does the research and figures out; this is the mining footprint; this is the shipping cost. This is how much, energy was burned. The factory is running off of a coal plant versus a nuclear reactor or whatever. Ash: Like Energy Star, but like it actually makes sense as opposed to Energy Star. Pablos: Yeah, and that could be given a score in joules that just ranks these things against each other. Ash: But we're talking about three ideas here, right? So that one idea is to get somebody to come out there and say, look, fundamentally, product life cycle measurement is something someone should go build, like someone should, whether it's independent of Marvel or not, somebody should do it. And then different manufacturers or, or whether it's a 3D printer of type company or someone else should go in and say, look, let's show you why we are the lowest score, the highest score, whatever the, whichever one's considered the better thing. And then we have to create education and marketing on that, to say, Hey, if you're not doing this, you, you are literally creating damage. Pablos: There must be initiatives like this that we don't know about. An interesting thing to consider is an iPhone is made of whatever, 2000 components. Some of them are like screws that Apple sourced and didn't manufacture. Where was the metal for the screws mined? Where's the factory for the screws? How far are the screws traveling to get to the iPhone factory? All that kind of stuff. And so you would, eventually if this were fully played out, when you design an iPhone and CAD, it would just tell you, where your screws are coming from. We already have the environmental impact score for those screws. Pick the ones that have the lower score. Ash: So this is like an SAP thing. So go back to, Fast moving consumer goods. So in the FMCG world, one of the things that's really interesting is something called, smart label and smart label is interesting because it said, Hey, like ingredients don't cut it. I want to know like really what's going on, it goes really deep, you can dive into the label, but where did you source it? Like, is it really honey from here or what was going on? I think Nestle, I think some of the biggest players all support it. Procter and Gamble, all these guys are on smart, smart label. Now that's interesting because you're almost already there, for those guys, you're pretty close, but that's for food. Hopefully that's mostly biodegradable. Otherwise we have other problems in life. Pablos: Yeah, that's interesting. Maybe that could be extended so that all the, the ingredients of my, headphones... Ash: Exactly. Could you extend that construct? I actually think back to another company, from years ago, it is one of my patents, from a while back. it was a company called, Black Duck Software. You were talking about, as you're sitting there with your CAD, I was thinking of, open source. Remember it was like, ""are you using something that's gonna infect the rest of your project?" When you're coding in Eclipse or something and you're like, oh, let me just grab this little... Pablos: You accidentally scoop up some GPL library... Ash: Yeah, it's an LGPL or something. It happened to Fidelity. Their entire mortgage calculator, their entire mortgage algorithm had to be open sourced because they used a website plug in. So, they eventually invested in the company. Obviously, they invested in us. But what was good is that, when you, were able to sit down and look at the project, it would tell you immediately, like, if you put this in there, you will like, have to open source your print driver. Pablos: All that should just be in CAD. A lot of CAD software has a plug in to tell you how much it's going to cost to machine that part that you made based on the design. And it could easily tell you how much material it's going to take and how much material cost there's going to be. But you could extend on that and say, you chose these screws. Here's how much they're going to cost. Here's what the lead times are. All that's in SAP already. And then it tells you, this is the environmental footprint of the screws you chose. Ash: And now you can tie that into some exchanges or B2B sourcing companies and just say, okay, give me a scenario. I want to automatically reduce my carbon or my, my total footprint. Where else could I source, right? So maybe instead of titanium screws, I have to manufacture for this new titanium iPhone from like some Russian mine where the titanium lives. Pablos: be seven Web3 companies trying to do this already. Ash: I think what they miss. And this is something that I think is an interesting part of the journey, right? That you and I also take is it sometimes great technology and great back end stuff doesn't hit the front. The only reason calories don't matter today because we woke up and realized that somebody paid off the cardiologists to get us to eat margarine and told us that sugar was, okay and fat was terrible. That was programming, right? That was maybe we need some good programming. I mean, we got programmed the wrong way. Maybe we need to program people. To see the right thing. And I don't know that we could be seen as altruistic or that we're necessarily not, not commercially motivated. I think that there's some way that today because of information and speed of information, I think we can create some level of transparency, like you said. And then we can turn around and say, back in the day, I couldn't tell you where my, millet was coming from for the food. Today we can, Smart Label will tell you literally where that food comes from. I think we could do something fun, fun with that. Someone should go do that. Pablos: Yeah. Someone should go do that, which is, one of the main points of doing this podcast is that hopefully we'll come up with ideas that somebody else should go do.

With rising food costs, security issues and more all around the globe, more communities and individuals are starting to think about growing their own food. As it stands, simple solutions sometimes seem too far off. What about pests, water use limits, winters that are too cold and without enough light and summers that can be too hot and dry? How do we tackle these challenges? How do we grow a garden in our own home state or near our homes that can support the community? In this episode, you're going to learn why design decisions matter and how an engineering background and a balance-oriented mindset can help. To talk this through, we are joined by inventor Marc Plinke, who spent the past decades applying his engineering mindset and expertise to building better greenhouses. Marc started Ceres Greenhouse Solutions to help enable people to grow their own food sustainably all year round. Tune in to learn more about his work! About Guest:Marc Plinke is an inventor-innovator who started his career as a chemical and process engineer at the makers of Gore-Tex, a fabric you've all used in rain jackets. When he landed in Boulder, Colorado, he retrofitted his family's 1960s ranch house into a Beyond Net Zero Energy home. That experience led him to his second career in green building design. He spent the past decades applying his engineering mindset and expertise to building better greenhouses. Mark started Ceres Greenhouse Solutions with the intention of enabling people to grow their own food sustainably and year-round. His passion is his family, beliefs and leaving the world a better place for his kids and all of ours.
