A paper in the journal Nature Climate Change concludes there is limited accountability for corporations that fail to achieve their climate change mitigation targets. The analysis shows 9% of company decarbonization plans missed their goals, while 31% “disappeared.” However, 60% of companies met their targets. While this might initially seem like good news, it may not be leading to genuine climate action. This week's podcast guest, Ketan Joshi, a consultant and researcher for nonprofit organizations in the climate sector, explains that many corporations are not actually decarbonizing their supply chains, but rather relying on buying renewable energy certificates and carbon credits to "offset" additional carbon emissions from their business. While carbon offsets are often touted as a way to directly fund climate action on the ground, Joshi stresses there is no verifiable way to track how much is funding these projects. Typically, credits are purchased from a broker, and 90% of these intermediaries arranging such deals on the voluntary carbon market don't share their data.

Hadassah GreenSky is an artist, activist, and musician. She is also the organizer of the Vibes with the Tribes, an annual Native American and cultural festival held in Detroit since 2020. You may know her from a viral photo of her and a few fellow dancers in front of the former Christopher Columbus statue in Detroit. Another one of her projects is a documentary, referred to as The Red Ghetto, which documents the lives of Native American families living in the Cass Corridor. According to GreenSky, those who lived in Detroit all had stories of relatives living in the Cass Corridor. "I think I heard an auntie once say there was over 120 different nations once represented in the city of Detroit, and there's still remnants of that," said GreenSky. "But, there's no, like, historical documents that talk about this. It's all just stories that all of us have." GreenSky has also been vocal about water rights. This year, they are organizing a Prayer Walk for the Water on Indigenous Peoples Day, Oct. 14 from 1-5 pm on Belle Isle in Detroit. The event is in commemoration of Grandma Josephine Mandamin, who, as an elder, walked around all of the Great Lakes, several times. GUEST: Hadassah GreenSky, artist, community organizer, curator, cultural worker, indigenous futurist working as a visual and music artist, dancer, bead artist, seamstress, graphic designer, photographer, videographer and modelSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I'm super pumped to speak with Anders Beck for Episode 226!! Anders is the dobro player for Greensky Bluegrass, whose unique blend of Bluegrass and Rock and makes it one of the most compelling sounds in live music today. Greensky has been touring practically non-stop for over 20 years, and Anders stopped in to chat with me just after completing their Winter Tour with yet another sold out two-night run at the Ryman Auditorium.

Wall Street slid on Friday with the key indices closing lower for the week and the Nasdaq snapping an 8-week winning streak as investors shift focus to the high potential of a US and possibly global recession. The Dow Jones fell 1.7% over the week, the S&P500 lost 1.4%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq also fell 1.4%. Inflation around the world remains elevated, and stock markets have been on a solid rally of late, so investors have pulled back optimism and now assess the high likelihood of a US recession as the Federal Reserve maintains an aggressive stance toward tackling inflation. Shares in Goldman Sachs declined on Friday after CNBC reported the investment bank is likely to face a large write down for its 2021 acquisition of fintech firm GreenSky.Over in Europe, markets in the region closed lower on Friday amid dampened global investor sentiment and on the back of a hawkish 50-basis point rate hike out of the Bank of England on Thursday.

A reading below 50 indicates a contraction, which is something to keep in mind for the euro zone over the month ahead.

German energy company, Siemens Energy tumbled 37% on Friday after scrapping its profit guidance due to issues with its wind turbine division.On the local index, the ASX200 dived 1.34% on Friday, weighed down by a near 4% loss in the energy sector as the price of oil dipped 3.15% last week to US$69.71/barrel as rate hike concerns and recession fears weigh on demand outlook for the commodity. The utilities and consumer staples sectors were the only two to close in positive territory on Friday.What to watch today:Ahead of the local trading session, the SPI futures are anticipating the ASX to open Monday's trading session down 0.23% on dampened global investor sentiment.Taking a look at commodities this morning, oil is up 1.06% to start the new trading week at US$69.89/barrel, coal is down 0.2% at US$125.50/tonne, gold is up 0.16% at US$1923.68/ounce and iron ore is flat at US$114.50/tonne.On the economic data front, the European Central Bank Forum on Central Banking begins today in Portugal where central bank governors, and officials meet to exchange views on current policy issues and discuss the forum's outlook for longer-term perspective.AU$1.00 is buying US$0.67, 96 Japanese Yen, 52.35 British Pence and NZ$1.09.Trading Ideas:Bell Potter has increased the price target on Delta Lithium (ASX:DLI) from $1.05 to $1.25 and maintain a buy rating on the lithium explorer following the release of high-grade drilling results and updated deposit dimensions. The company reported drilling results from its Yinnetharra Lithium Project in WA and notes ‘Malinda boasts a lithium Mile' comprising two major parallel ore zones M1 and M35 each now drilled out over 1.6km in strike length. The company's Mt Ida asset it also a near-term producer, targeting direct shipping operation from Q4FY23.Trading Central has identified a bearish signal on Helloworld Travel (ASX:HLO) following the formation of a pattern over a period of 49-days which is roughly the same amount of time the share price may fall from the close of $2.47 to the range of $1.95 to $2.05 according to standard principles of technical analysis.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Greensky Bluegrass over Zoom video! Greensky Bluegrass are thrilled to announce their return to Colorado for four unforgettable performances. The band will kick things off with An Evening With Greensky Bluegrass Sept 14 and 15 at the Dillon Amphiteater. Then, the band will head down the mountain to Morrison for two more fun-filled evenings at Red Rocks Sepr 16 and 17. Special guests for Red Rocks TBA. For more information and all up to date news and tour info visit greenskybluegrass.com. Earlier this year, the band released their eighth studio album Stress Dreams via Thirty Tigers. Ahead of the release, Stress Dreams received high praise from critics. Garden & Gun calls the album "one of the most complete and engaging of the group's more than twenty-year career" and Glide says “Stress Dreams perfectly exemplifies, once again, why Greensky Bluegrass is heralded as one of the most important & influential bands of the modern progressive-bluegrass era.” About Greensky Bluegrass:Since their 2000 formation in Kalamazoo, MI, the quartet—Anders Beck [dobro], Michael Arlen Bont [banjo], Dave Bruzza [guitar], Mike Devol [upright bass], and Paul Hoffman [mandolin]—have unassumingly progressed into a phenomenon on their own terms with the undying support of a devout audience. Rolling back and forth across North America on successive tours, they've sold out multiple dates at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Ryman Auditorium, the Fillmore Detroit, Riviera Theater Chicago, and many more. Beyond standout sets at Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, New Orleans Jazz Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and Austin City Limits, they co-own and have headlined 4848 Festival and Strings & Sol. In 2019, "All For Money" marked their second #1 debut on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums Chart and third straight Top 3 entry. They've also earned critical acclaim from Billboard, Parade, NPR, and Rolling Stone who hailed them as “representing the genre for a whole new generation.” For the past century, bluegrass music has traditionally relayed real tales of American life, struggle, tragedy, and triumph. It gives a voice to the quiet, yet colorful stories woven into the fabric of the country itself. Greensky Bluegrass live these stories through their records and performances. When touring ceased in 2020 in the face of the global pandemic, the band hunkered down and compiled demos individually at first, sharing emails and voice notes. In July 2020, they got together for the first time in four months, dedicating rehearsals to the development of the new material. Once circumstances safely permitted, they recorded what would become Stress Dreams during a session in Guilford, VT and two sessions in Asheville, NC with frequent collaborator “and old friend” Dominic John Davis as producer and “wizard engineer” Glenn Brown mixing. They preserved the hallmarks of their sound while widening its expanse. “Greensky is and always has been very unique in our world,” says Paul Hoffman. “We put our love, energy, and focus into what we appreciate about our music. We come together as a band in a way that's organic. We take a lot of pride in how we grow and challenge each other too. We're maturing together. I think we get more Greensky all of the time.”We want to hear from you!

Today we have the return of a great friend of the show- Dr. Greensky from Red Scare Seed Co! He's back on the show to talk about the crazy lawsuit that he got caught up in that may be leading a landmark cannabis ruling... This leads to a conversation about current legislation and the state of the cannabis industry as a whole. Dr. Greenskye also discusses his thoughts on testing- which he insists is more of "intersex selecting" than actual agricultural testing. Greenskye also goes deep on his new Afghan work, where he is hunting though two Maruf packs- the red and the black phenos. He talks about his favorite regions and what types of flavors and profiles he gets from the cultivars of said regions- and insists that if you want to find winners, you'll want to stick to the silk road... *Personal Garden Support- Hundreds of Hours of Member Content- Give Aways...

Happy Holidaze No Simple Road Family! We are so stoked to have Paul Hoffman of Greensky Bluegrass as our guest on the show this week! Greensky has ushered us back into live music in 2021 and we thought there would be no better Holiday gift than to have one of them on the show for Christmas!Since their 2000 formation in Kalamazoo, MI, the quintet—Anders Beck [dobro], Michael Arlen Bont [banjo], Dave Bruzza [guitar], Mike Devol [upright bass], and Paul Hoffman [mandolin]—have unassumingly progressed into a phenomenon on their own terms with the undying support of a devout audience. Rolling back and forth across North America on successive tours, they recently sold out 3 nights at Red Rocks, a feat unheard of in their genre.During 2019, All For Money marked their second #1 debut on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums Chart and third straight Top 3 entry. They've also earned critical acclaim from Billboard, Parade, NPR, and Rolling Stone who hailed them as “representing the genre for a whole new generation.”We talk with Paul about finding the things that matter most while coming through the darkness, re-evaluating the things in our lives, creating the new album 'Stress Dreams', how Greensky's music became what it is today through the expression of its members, how things on the road look in 2021 and how that feels, and a whole lot more!SONG AT THE END OF THE CONVERSATION: 'Monument' off the upcoming album 'Stress Dreams'To pre-order 'Stress Dreams', tour info, new, merch, and more head over to : www.greenskybluegrass.comNEW!!!

We’re big fans of the Greensky Bluegrass sound, because although they are bluegrass in name, they rock and jam pretty hard for a group that features traditional acoustic instruments like mandolin, banjo and dobro, aside from acoustic guitar and upright bass. All for Money will be the seventh album for this band that has been slugging it out on the road for 18 years. We caught up with Michael Bont to talk about All for Money and all things Greensky as they our affectionately called. All for Money is an incredible record which really should make top ten lists next year. There are so many great songs on the record, that I suspect will get lots of play on the road this winter, and well into the Greensky touring schedule. If you’ve never seen these guys, I’d encourage you to do so, and if you have you are already am sure well into their music. I mean honestly, how could you not be. For more on Greensky Bluegrass visit their website at greenskybluegrass.com. Show Notes: **First Song:** 01:26 – All For Money **Interview Begins:** 8:54 **Extro Song:** 34:53 - Do It Alone See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, the gang is joined by world-renowned musician and local Denverite, Paul Hoffman. As his band, Greensky Bluegrass comes to town for sold out shows at The Ogden & two nights at Red Rocks, Paul hit the studio with Kip & Bryan before hitting the stage. They shot the shit, snacked on Appaloosa Grill's fantastic appetizers and talked all things from tour life to Colorado life. Bryan & Kip ask him all about favorites around Denver, from local eateries to venues in state.... and then they dove into the rockstar-life. Asking random questions from green room antics to best places in the country to eat, they tried to cover it all. In the end, it was just a great conversation with a killer musician who is also a humble, kind foodie & jokester, with stories to boot! Tune in, Tell a friend, and this is definitely the episode you want to rate & review! #NoVacancyCO #StonedAppetit #GreenskyBluegrass

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines. This week was fun for a few reasons. First, it was our own Connie Loizos’s first time leading, and it was our very first regular episode that included us recording remotely. I mention that as Matthew Lynley and I were each in different places, meaning that we had a bump or two to smooth out. Your patience is more than appreciated. Happily, we didn’t have to adventure alone, as Jonathan Abrams of Founders Den was on hand to help us cart through the news. Up first: A huge round for Rover, bringing even more money into the dog- and pet-focused space. As you’ll surely recall, this is not the first time that a tectonic sum has been disbursed into the pet-care vertical. Hell, Rover’s $155 in new capital, while impressive, still can’t touch Wag’s epic $300 million infusion that happened earlier in the cycle. While we were on the subject, another Softbank-backed company made waves: Uber. Yes, our favorite and least favorite topic is back. This time Uber released yet another grip of statistics relating to its financial performance in the first quarter. The big picture? More gross spend, more net revenue, smaller losses. But how you measure Uber’s pace of financial improvement depends on how you measure its losses and its remaining markets. This being Equity, however, we couldn’t avoid the IPO topic. So, in order: A Foxconn subsidiary will soon be making big waves in China with a huge debut; A Dutch payments unicorn is going public on the back of great results; GreenSky went out, and did pretty ok, which was a change of pace from recent debuts. All that and we had a laugh. Thanks for listening in, and we are back next week.

This episode Seth and Rob excitedly announce their upcoming live event at City Winery on March 28. This event features Benny “Burle” Galloway and the subject of this interview, Greensky Bluegrass dobroist Anders Beck. The hosts chatted with him backstage at The Tabernacle before the band’s wonderful show there last fall. They talk about the way Greensky had on their previous Atlanta visit honored legendary Phish shows which had happened in the same room 24 years previous to Greensky's January visit there. We also hear about Mike Gordon attending one of Greensky’s previous Atlanta shows. We learn how much effort the band puts into their setlists, Beck speaks of the significance of the “One Up” in Denver and he also shares the unusual evolution of the song “In Control” as well as a triumphant moment in the studio while recording, “Living Over.” We also learn some of his views on improvisation, about the influence of Leftover Salmon and his feelings about working with the excellent producer Steve Berlin. There are also great stories throughout, including one in which a certain scolding the band received at San Francisco’s Fillmore turned into a moment of celebration. wTnS is Produced by Rob Turner, with this episode produced by both he and Seth Weiner, and Engineered by Josh Thane of Wonder Dog Sounds Studio. www.joshthaneproductions.com www.wonderdogsounds.com wTnS is a proud sponsor of the Osiris Podcast Network.

We at Roots probably have you conditioned by now so that when we say “bluegrass” you know we mean the whole range, from roots to branches. Our all-bluegrass shows generally include a Greensky or a Sam Bush Band, because one of the greatest things about the field is its freedom. It’s one of the ultimate artist-driven, innovation-friendly genres and we’ll always celebrate that. But this week was different – a turn toward bluegrass fundamentalism if you will. It was all trad. No rad. And boy was it excellent. Lineup in order: The Lonesome River Band Foghorn String Band Joe Mullins & The Radio Ramblers The Isaacs
