Increasingly, it seems that corporate philanthropy (and even personal giving) are reactive rather than proactive. Today's episode challenges that notion with an insightful look into the relationship REC Solar's Cary Hayes has formed with Alex Honnold and his Honnold Foundation, which REC has supported for years with both cash and in-kind donations. Why does Cary believe this is a meaningful part of their annual marketing budget? Hear Cary, Alex & Nico discuss why this is an overlooked marketing line item for most companies, and consider for yourself if supporting non-profits should be more prevalent in yours or anyone's annual budget.Alex Honnold is best known for his daring free solo climbs, but his true passion lies in bringing clean energy to the world's most underserved communities. In a compelling conversation with Cary Hayes, President-America's at REC, Honnold shares the origin and evolution of the Honnold Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to solar power. By focusing on grassroots, "shovel-ready" projects, the foundation empowers local organizations to lead transformative initiatives, from cooperative microgrids in Puerto Rico to solar installations in remote African villages. Honnold's journey—from dirtbag climber living in a van to International superstar spearheading a $50 million project pipeline—underscores the importance of starting small and prioritizing tangible impact over perfection.Following the Hayes/Honnold conversation, host Nico Johnson expands on this vision in a 1:1 with Cary reflecting on the solar industry's unique opportunity to amplify its influence through philanthropy. Cary shares insights from REC Solar's collaboration with the Honnold Foundation and explores how partnerships like these align corporate innovation with community resilience. Nico challenges the solar sector to move beyond profit-driven mindsets, arguing for a mission-first approach that redirects resources toward high-impact projects. Together, they discuss the power of storytelling, collaboration, and leadership to inspire a more sustainable and equitable future.It's time to put our shoulders to the plow, align our resources with our mission, and drive meaningful, community-focused change. We all have a role to play in creating a more sustainable and equitable future.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling:

Alex Honnold, the world-famous rock climber and philanthropist, has pushed the physical boundaries of human potential with his climbing pursuits, but in his travels to some of the world's most remote and beautiful locations he's come face-to-face with one of the world's most urgent challenges: energy access.Alex has never been one to stand by and let others do the hard work. Before his rise to fame with his harrowing, albeit Oscar-winning performance on Yosemite's most famous of all big walls, El Capitan, Honnold has had a soft spot for those without energy access. He points out that at its most fundamental level energy brings opportunity. That's why he created his eponymous foundation to help expand solar energy access and empower underserved communities while promoting conservation in some of the most remote and vulnerable regions on the planet. And he's been donating a third of his income to every year to help underserved communities acquire solar energy since long before achieving international recognition for his climbing feats.If you've been paying attention over the last few years, though, Honnold's “objectives” (climber speak for projects) have blended the thrill of climbing with the responsibility of creating a lasting impact by helping preserve the environment in more ways than just environmental protection. Thanks to Cary Hayes & the REC Solar team, who have been an ongoing corporate partner for Honnold Foundation, Nico recently had a chance to spend the day with Honnold at his home gym outside Las Vegas, NV. (yes, you read that right - we actually got to go to his HOME climbing gym, in his garage, and climb with him! More on that in a forthcoming LI Post…) In this wide-ranging conversation, Alex offers a rare perspective on how personal ambition can align with global progress, and why he believes solar power is a great social justice tool. From free soloing ascents of big walls to addressing energy inequity, Honnold is truly reaching new heights. Tune in to discover:How he balances family life, climbing, and building the Honnold FoundationHow Big Horn sheep helped shape his outlook on lifeWhy solar energy provides more leverage to address social inequalityHow lessons from climbing translate to building lasting impact and entrepreneurshipAnd much, much more (really, we learned a lot from this #SolarWarrior!)If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling:

Each year, we give you an opportunity to join us in supporting a non-profit on Giving Tuesday. This Giving Tuesday, we are shining a light on not one but three nonprofits using solar to address critical challenges, from disaster recovery to education and global energy access. These organizations are making an extraordinary difference by leveraging renewable energy to drive change where it's needed most. If you attended Solar Fight Night this year at RE+, you've already helped contribute toward these orgs, but you may not even realize it! Today, we will introduce you to all three organizataions, give you more detail on their respective missions, and invite you to BOOST the giving by helping us top-off the donation they'll receive from Solar Fight Night! We can make a difference. Here are 3 outstanding nonprofits that we believe deserve your time AND your treasure.You'll hear from:Solar Fight Night curator, Daniel Dus, has been the driving force behind what we often call “the Met Gala of the solar industry”. Daniel joins the conversation to help set the stage for what we do and why we chose these 3 specific entities. This unique gathering unites solar industry leaders in an evening of entertainment, but it's much more than a huge party - the profits raised go directly to these nonprofits. In fact, we've generated over $2 million USD to support projects ranging from disaster recovery to education and tribal community empowerment.Let's Share the Sun, led by Co-founder and President Bill Jordan, focuses on bringing solar power to underserved communities in under-developed nations like Haiti, Honduras, and Puerto Rico. By providing systems that deliver stability during disasters, such as powering critical medical equipment during hurricanes, the organization is transforming lives and scaling its efforts to reach 200 homes next year.

Alex Honnold is a global climbing icon, founder of the Honnold Foundation, and the protagonist in the Oscar-winning documentary “Free Solo.” This conversation explores the confluence of extreme athleticism and fatherhood, delving into Alex's evolving risk calculus and approach to adventure. We discuss Alex's recent 2,600-mile expedition to Alaska's Devil's Thumb, environmental activism, his passion for climbing, embracing uncertainty, and many other topics. His dry wit shines as he answers listener questions: everything from the ethics of risk-taking to late-night cookie binges.  Alex is someone I deeply admire, and this conversation is both edifying and entertaining.
