Chief Sustainability Officer Saskia van Gendt goes Inside the ICE House to discuss how carbon emissions, waste reduction, and ESG risk are becoming embedded into everyday supply chain decisions. She explores how AI is supercharging demand planning, transportation, and warehousing to cut waste and emissions across the end-to-end supply chain.

He closes with his outlook on where AI and financial services are headed together.

With markets noisier and more uncertain than ever, Dimensional Fund Advisors founder David Booth goes Inside the ICE House to make the case that staying calm is not just good advice — it's backed by a century of data. He discusses his new book, Stay Calm, and why the same principles that help people navigate life's uncertainties are the ones that lead to long-term investing success. Booth challenges the allure of market timing and prediction, arguing instead for planning, patience, and trusting in human ingenuity as the engine behind decades of 10% annual stock returns. He also reflects on Dimensional's milestone crossing of $1 trillion in assets under management and why personalization may be the next major wave in investing.

Inceptive CEO Jakob Uszkoreit goes Inside the ICE House to challenge the foundational assumptions of modern drug discovery, arguing that AI will enable medicines that work with the body's natural complexity rather than against it.

Uszkoreit explains why partnerships are essential for a small company with broadly applicable technology, and why the long-term prize is therapies that are gentler, earlier, and truly personalized.

Formation Bio is rewriting the rules of drug development at a time when AI is accelerating drug discovery far faster than the industry can bring new therapies to patients. CEO Ben Liu goes Inside the ICE House to explain why the real bottleneck in pharma isn't finding promising drug candidates, it's developing them efficiently and at scale.

We have an outbuilding at home — we call it the Little House. It's a small old barn that sits out in our back yard, maybe 25 feet from the back door. It was a barn for animals at one point, then a garage, then an apartment. There's a lot of interesting energy in the Little House. It's been many things over the years: an art studio, a bakery, a jewelry-making place. By 2018 the Little House had given birth to this very podcast. The Little House has been an epicenter of entrepreneurial spirit and love for a long time. When I got home from my recent trip to Poland, I found out there was a water leak in the Little House, which sent me on a mission of ripping and tearing — rugs, floors, decking and drywall. And before I knew it, I needed a new wall on the west end. And of course, it was going to be a hempcrete wall, right? Hempcrete is hemp hurd — the woody inner core of the hemp stalk — mixed with a lime-based binder and water and packed around a wood frame like insulation. It's breathable, naturally resistant to pests and fire, and because hemp pulls carbon out of the air as it grows, a hempcrete wall can be carbon-negative. It's about as close as you can get to building a wall out of a farm field. After years and years of following the industry, reporting on builders like Cameron McIntosh, Micaela Machado, Danny Desjarlais and Matt Marino, these people are my heroes. And now, after having made seven batches of hempcrete by hand, anyone who has ever built something out of hempcrete is my hero. Luck favors the prepared, so I sought knowledge. I drove down to the Ice House in Ellicott City, Maryland, to learn from Gayle Killen. She taught me how to mix by hand, how to pack the edges better than the middle, and how to stay safe — PPE always, and a jar of vinegar handy to neutralize the lime. Cameron McIntosh, up at his shop in Bally, confirmed the numbers and sent me home with hurd, buckets, tampers and a saw. Drew Oberholzer and Ana Konopitskaya of Coexist Build donated nine bags of lime binder. Acts of kindness bind us all together. So I mixed and packed and mixed again, all through the Fourth of July weekend, sweating it out in the backyard, covered in lime burns, until a hempcrete wall stood where the old one used to be. My kids tell me it smells like corn. But whatever it smells like, it looks like agriculture. Imagine if we could build our houses with locally sourced, annually renewable resources so we can survive, so our children can survive, so our children's children can survive. That's what this is about: the future, and learning how to do things so we can face it together. This hempcrete wall is emblematic of the changes you'll see coming. We're building, growing, making and doing.

Before refrigeration changed the world, entire communities depended on winter itself. Every year, workers ventured onto frozen lakes and rivers to harvest massive blocks of ice destined for ice houses, homes, and businesses across America. The work was brutal, dangerous, and often deadly. Men drowned beneath the ice, vanished into freezing waters, and were crushed by shifting blocks weighing hundreds of pounds. Over time, those tragedies gave rise to haunting legends of ghostly figures beneath frozen rivers, phantom footsteps in abandoned ice houses, and eerie encounters that still linger in local folklore. Then, discover one of the strangest and most heartwarming stories of World War I. Amid the mud, artillery fire, poison gas, and unimaginable hardship of trench warfare, hundreds of thousands of cats found themselves serving alongside soldiers. Some hunted rats, some reportedly provided early warning of gas attacks, and many became cherished companions who brought comfort to men living through one of history's darkest conflicts. From haunted ice harvests in Maine to feline heroes on the battlefields of Europe, this episode explores two remarkable stories where history, hardship, folklore, and unexpected companionship collide. The Box of Oddities is a podcast for those who know that the strangest stories are often the true ones. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
