In this powerhouse episode of BizNinja Entrepreneur Radio, host Tyler Jorgenson welcomes legendary actor, environmental advocate, and accidental entrepreneur Ed Begley Jr. to the show. While many know him from films and television, Ed's decades-long commitment to clean living and sustainability might surprise you. From riding his bike to the Oscars to bottling eco-friendly cleaning products in his garage, Ed proves that walking the green talk can be both impactful and entertaining.Ed takes us on a time-traveling journey through his early adoption of electric cars, his adventures with faulty toner cartridges and primitive solar systems, and the birth of his eco-business, Begley's Earth Responsible Products. His stories are equal parts hilarious and humbling—from delivering products himself in his electric car to learning the hard way about doing too much, too fast. He shares how he learned to value not just environmental resources, but his own time and energy as a resource, too.With wisdom drawn from smoggy childhoods, big-screen sets, and homegrown sustainability hacks, Ed dishes out heartfelt advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. His approach to advocacy is refreshingly relatable: lead by example, stay authentic, and do what you can—without burning out. Whether you're launching a brand or just trying to live cleaner, Ed's message is clear: live simply so that others can simply live.TakeawaysStart Small, Stay Consistent: Ed's clean-living journey began in 1970 with vinegar and baking soda. Sometimes the simplest steps lead to lifelong impact.You Can't Make Gasoline on Your Roof: But you can make solar power—and Ed's been powering his life and car this way for decades.Walk the Talk, Quietly: Ed didn't shout about his values—he just biked to the Oscars and let the media catch on. Authenticity speaks louder than megaphones.From Garage to Costco: His product line started in his garage (with help from his daughters!) and is now sold nationwide. Proof that green businesses can scale.You're a Resource Too: Entrepreneurs must protect their own time and energy like any precious environmental resource.Lead with Common Ground: Don't want to debate climate change? Focus on clean air, energy savings, and local impact. Change doesn't always need a label.

Anne Butterly is March's Repak Business Person of the Month.Anne is the brain behind EasyDry, a strong disposable paper towel business that you're sure to see in most hairdressers across the country.In the process, those same hairdressers have saved an estimated 4 litres of water for every towel no longer washed.

In this episode of That Entrepreneur Show, we sit down with James Strayer, co-founder of Rubber Surfaces, to explore how he's turning recycled tires into innovative, non-slip surfaces for homes and businesses.

Repak has been around since 1997 way before climate change policies and the Green deal were ever heard of. The idea was to get companies that produce a lot of packaging to think long and hard about how the packaging gets disposed of once the customer is finished with the product. Repak was around well before many of its similar agencies were established in Europe. Joining Joe this morning in studio was Gary Browne a Packaging Technologist, with Repak which is sponsoring the Green Business person of the Month.

What does it take to bridge the gap between environmental concerns and commercial priorities? In this episode of Game Changers and Transition Makers, Lorraine Johnston speaks with Roger McKerlie, a seasoned sales and marketing entrepreneur and founder of EBN, a movement uniting 1,800 businesses to prepare for a lower-carbon, nature-positive future. Roger explains how the EBN helps businesses—from mid-size to larger SMEs—navigate the complex demands of sustainability. He shares his insights on why the environmental agenda has shifted from being a tactical issue to a strategic boardroom priority, with CFOs increasingly focused on ESG impacts and opportunities. Roger also discusses the importance of storytelling to inspire action, emphasising that “small changes by businesses collectively move the dial” on the climate crisis. From promoting second-hand fashion to rethinking corporate purpose, Roger highlights actionable steps for business leaders at any stage of their sustainability journey.

Send me a messageIn this episode, I sit down with Kenny McGee, CEO and founder of Component Sense, to explore how his company is driving sustainability in the electronics industry. Kenny shares the story behind Component Sense's origins—born out of a pressing need to manage surplus electronic components—and how it has grown into a leader in redistributing excess inventory.We dig into some hard truths about waste in the electronics supply chain. Did you know that millions of brand-new components are scrapped every year simply because they're surplus to requirements? Kenny explains how Component Sense prevents this waste by redistributing unused, traceable parts to businesses that need them, ensuring valuable resources don't end up in landfills.From navigating financial crises and COVID-19 to tackling Brexit's logistical headaches, Kenny's journey highlights the challenges of running a purpose-driven business. He also discusses how his team has developed innovative tools, such as their InPlant system, to integrate seamlessly into clients' supply chains, making redistribution both easy and profitable.We also touch on broader industry challenges, including the rise of counterfeit components, the regulatory gaps around circularity, and the urgent need for global, not just local, sustainability efforts. Kenny makes a compelling case for prioritising reuse over waste, urging businesses to take responsibility for their environmental impact.Towards the end, we explore the fascinating role legacy components play in keeping vital industrial machinery alive, a topic that underscores the value of thinking long-term in our throwaway culture.If you've ever wondered how we can align sustainability with business value in the electronics industry, this episode will give you practiElevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

Send me a messageIn this episode, which is generously sponsored by Component Sense, I sit down with Joanne Flinn, Chair of the ESG Institute, to unpack what it really means to push sustainability forward in business, far beyond the usual carbon targets. Joanne shares her personal journey to becoming an advocate for sustainable transformation, influenced by her father's work in agricultural economics and her early exposure to global sustainability issues.We dig into the critical work the ESG Institute is doing to guide companies on their ESG journeys, especially around complex challenges like value chain sustainability and the need for clarity in multi-stakeholder decision-making. Joanne explains the Institute's “Sustainability Readiness Profiles,” a practical tool to help companies identify their ESG maturity and shape their approach accordingly – whether they're observers, pledgers, compliers, or transformers.We also discuss the mindset shifts needed to make sustainability integral to business strategies: moving from short-term gains to long-term resilience and embracing multi-dimensional goals beyond simple profit metrics. Joanne even makes an unexpected (but spot-on) connection between ESG in business and the evolving safety standards in rugby.Tune in to learn why approaching sustainability as a “game of lifting standards” can drive real change, and what steps leaders can take now to create a thriving, resilient future.Elevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

Building Expertise in Digital Marketing:  Adam's journey continued with roles at an industrial shelving company and an art gallery, where he honed his skills in Google advertising, SEO, and e-commerce platforms. By the time he went freelance, Adam had a comprehensive skill set to offer small businesses practical, actionable advice in digital marketing. Networking and Community Engagement:  Networking played a crucial role in Adam's freelance success. Active co-working spaces in Brighton provided ample opportunities to connect with potential clients. One of his biggest clients resulted from a casual conversation over coffee.

We talk with Ashay Bhave, founder of Thaely, who as a middle-schooler dreamt of becoming a sneaker designer. His journey begins at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, where disenchanted within the first year, he returned back to Dubai to pursue a degree in business at Amity University. As a designer Ashay wanted to solve problems - the problem of plastic grocery bag waste - we consume 3 trillion of them annually. After some near fires in his kitchen, he developed a product Thaely Tex. Thaely is made with 100% recycled raw materials. Each sneaker uses ThaelyTex that's made using 10 upcycled waste plastic bags. ThaelyTex is made in collaboration with TrioTap Technologies in Gurugram, India. The waste plastic bags are collected from housing complexes, offices, and stores in and around Gurugram, India. The lining is made with rPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate is a fabric made from recycling waste PET Plastic Bottles) using 12 Recycled waste plastic bottles. With their partnership with The Shoe Laundry, the sneakers are either refurbished or recycled. Each pair is also packaged in a reusable rPET. Every component of the shoe and its process is looked into great detail to achieve Thaely's sustainability goals.
