What is LEED? Who is involved in LEED? Why should I care about LEED?   In today’s episode, Bill Spohn welcomes one of the leaders in the green building industry, Charlie Cichetti, Owner of Green Building Education Services (www.GEBS.com) and the Sustainable Investment Group (www.SIGEarth.com).   Charlie covers the history of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) as well as recent changes and where things are headed in the future. We hear about the shift in focus from buildings to the people that work, live and play in buildings.   Charlie shares with us details from his career and passion for the industry and the work he does. He also hosts a podcast where he recently interviewed Bill Spohn. You’ll find it here: Green Building Matters Podcast, Episode 26:   Several times we note the Well Building Standard (www.wellcertified.com) as well as other standards and a new health oriented commercial building certification sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control (US CDC) called FitWel (www.fitwel.org)  

Michael Cichetti, Director of Marketing and Sales at Green Building Education Services (GBES), joins Charlie Cichetti in this episode. Residing in Atlanta, with an entrepreneurial spirit, he is passionate about sustainability in the green building industry. Michael and Charlie are brothers and share the same passion for focusing on the green building movement and environmental sustainability.   Michael Cichetti - Early Inspiration Growing up in Blue Ridge, Georgia, Michael fell in love with the outdoors.  Most importantly he enjoys the natural wonders of the mountains and the area he grew up in.  As a result, he went to college at Georgia State University, receiving his business management degree in 2010 and currently lives in Atlanta.    Early on, Michael had one professor that really stood out in an entrepreneurship class.  This professor is an angel investor. Hence, he was able to introduce experts to the class to give real world hands-on expert advice.  Therefore, Michael was intrigued and was able to apply this experience to his current work. Right out of school Michael was hired on at a real estate law firm as a Title Curative Specialist.  He then transitioned to SIG and GBES and focuses on helping commercial real estate professionals be more sustainable which he is very passionate about.   “Being able to work toward a good cause like sustainability really makes me feel like I am spending my time in a valuable way.” - Michael Cichetti   Big Learning Curve Michael initially lead the sales department with Sustainable Investment Group (SIG) and now Green Building Education Services.  Michael works on the company's marketing and strives to boost sales to help scale the company. In the early years of these companies, most of the business SIG earned was through word of mouth for doing great work. So, a sales department was new to the company, and Michael, had to figure out what worked best by trying a lot of different things. Therefore, it was very challenging and big learning curve, but he appreciated the opportunity to learn so much so quickly. “I had to throw everything against the wall and see what stuck.”  - Michael Cichetti As a result, Michael brought in new business to SIG.  Furthermore, Michael has an entrepreneurial mindset and is very successful. Most noteworthy, his vast background allows him to share his knowledge which is beneficial to clients' careers.     Survival and Sustainability When Michael was young, his interest in a survival course given by Tom Brown Jr.  certainly made an impact. Michael explains that Tom Brown Jr. was raised by native americans and they taught him about sustainability and how to rely on the land.  This intrigued Michael and consequently he continued to read and explore in this arena. “Taking things from nature, choosing the trees that will actually help the other surrounding plants and animals flourish more.” - Michael Cichetti Michael was very fortunate to have the exposure to the outdoors.  Because of this exposure, he loves the sustainability story of the native american ways.  Michael is a highly encouraging person. He believes the green building movement and sustainability are here to stay.  Above all, today there is more of a need for us to be sustainable in every industry.

A little about our guests. Scott and Katie have been married for 10 years and have 2 year old twins. They met on the Ultimate Frisbee Field in Atlanta, Georgia. Scott has a background in IT and enjoys starting new companies. Katie and Scott first created Green Building Education Services together and ran the company for several years before selling it and going on to create The National Registry for Adoption together. Scott is the famed creator of Scoop No More – A Cat Toilet Training Video. Sadly, there was no Oscar nomination. Scott spends his free time playing guitar and wakeboarding. As mom to 2 year old twins, Katie is now the Duchess of Dishwashing, Master of the Meal plan and Prime Minister of Potty Training. A little about their business. The National Registry for Adoption is an adoption service that matches those with excess embryos from IVF with families dealing with infertility issues. Katie runs day-to-day operations while Scott maintains the website, works with Katie and has a separate business teaching people about personal finance. One piece of advice (the nutshell version) Schedule your day to separate your business from your personal life. Business isn’t worth your marriage and family. Always have a back-up plan and 6 to 9 months’ worth of expenses in the bank.
