Today, we're diving into a part of the climate transition that doesn't get nearly as much attention as solar panels, electric vehicles, or AI: the materials, minerals, and manufacturing systems that make modern civilization possible. Steel alone accounts for roughly 7–8% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and the energy transition is driving unprecedented demand for critical minerals, advanced materials, and domestic manufacturing capacity. These sectors offer incredible investment opportunities, and that's the focus of my guest, Kavita Patel. Kavita is a portfolio manager for venture investment for MUUS & Company (MUUS), the family office of TIGER 21 Founder and Chairman, Michael Sonnenfeldt, and his family.We discuss opportunities ranging from critical mineral recycling to next-generation building materials, what she's learned investing through the ups and downs of climate tech, and why she believes some of the most compelling opportunities today may be hiding in sectors many investors overlook.We also explore where climate capital is flowing, where it may be underinvesting, and how investors can think rigorously about both financial returns and real-world climate impact.I learned a lot from this conversation, and I think you will too.

This month on Trek Tuesday, Tony chats with celebrated Star Trek artist Kavita Maharaj, whose work has become instantly recognizable across the fandom for its emotional precision, striking detail, and uncanny ability to capture the essence of beloved Trek characters. For many fans, Kavita's portraits feel like stepping into a moment of truth — a look, a gesture, a spark of humanity that defines who these characters are. And it all began with one figure who changed her life as an artist:

In Jazz Age New York, a shocking murder shatters the privileged life of the city's most elite family in a propulsive mystery-thriller debut from author K.M. Colley that spans from Harlem to Long Island's Gold Coast and high society's glittering world of deadly secrets.In the glittering world of 1920s New York, the seven Ridley heirs seem to have it all: wealth, status, and protection as the city's most powerful family. But when notorious gossip columnist Dale Caimen is found dead during their family's renowned summer soiree, their carefully constructed world begins to crack.Behind the champagne and jazz, each adopted Ridley sibling harbors secrets that could destroy them. There's Amelia, the responsible eldest trying to hold it all together; Adesua, whose artistic ambitions in the Harlem Renaissance threaten her family's expectations; and wild child Kavita, whose dangerous nights in speakeasies may have finally caught up with her.As the murder investigation intensifies, long-buried tensions surface and family loyalties unravel. Someone knows the truth about the Ridleys—and they're willing to kill to expose it. In a world where appearance is everything and power comes at a deadly price, the siblings must decide what matters more: protecting the family name or each other.goto Amazon or where ever books are sold!

I want to apologize to you."Hi: कविता की मुट्ठी में गुलाल था, लेकिन उसकी आंखों में पुरानी शिकायतों का रंग उड़ेल रहा था।En: Kavita held gulal in her fist, but her eyes poured out the color of old grievances.Hi: "तुम्हारे शब्द कितने भी खूबसूरत हों, राजीव, मैं उन्हें मान नहीं सकती," उसने प्रतिक्रिया दी।En: "No matter how beautiful your words are, Rajeev, I cannot believe them," she responded.Hi: "तुमने कभी हमारा दर्द महसूस किया ही नहीं।"En: "You never felt our pain."Hi: उसके शब्दों की तलवार ने हवा की खुशबू को एक पल में बदल दिया।En: Her words slashed through the fragrant air in an instant.Hi: एक गर्मागरम बहस छिड़ गई।En: A heated argument erupted.Hi: हर वह बात सामने आई, जिसे वे पिछले कई वर्षों से अपने दिल में छिपाए बैठे थे।En: Every matter that they had been hiding in their hearts for many years came forth.Hi: "हम सभी एक परिवार हैं।En: Amidst this cloud of conflict, Nisha finally spoke, "We are all family.Hi: क्या हम पुरानी बातों को पीछे नहीं छोड़ सकते और इस त्योहार के रंग में भिग नहीं सकते?"En: Can't we leave the past behind and immerse ourselves in the colors of this festival?"Hi: मरीन ड्राइव की चमक रात के अंधेरे में खोने लगी।En: The brilliance of Marine Drive began to fade into the night.Hi: राजीव ने गहरी सांस ली, "कविता, मैंने सच में गलती की।En: Rajeev took a deep breath, "Kavita, I truly made a mistake.Hi: मैं इसे सुधारना चाहता हूँ।"En: I want to make things right."Hi: कविता की आंखों में नमी थी।En: There was moisture in Kavita's eyes.Hi: उस नमी में एक संधि थी, पुरानी शिकायतों को पीछे छोड़ने की।En: In that moisture was a truce, a readiness to leave old grievances behind.Hi: "चलो, इस वर्ष होली के रंग नई शुरुआत का प्रतीक बनते हैं," उसने राजीव की ओर बढ़ते कहा।En: "Let's make this year's Holi colors a symbol of new beginnings," she said, stepping towards Rajeev.Hi: हाथों में रंग और दिलों में सुलह का वादा लेकर, तीनों समुद्र किनारे होली मनाने लगे।En: With colors in their hands and a promise of reconciliation in their hearts, the three of them began celebrating Holi by the seaside.Hi: उन्होंने रंगों की जंग जीत ली थी, और मरीन ड्राइव ने उनके बिखरे रंगों और नई उम्मीद की गवाही दी।En: They had won the battle of colors, and Marine Drive bore witness to their scattered colors and new hope.

The data is clear - language barriers hurt patients, in any healthcare setting. In some settings, for example acute, maternity and others, these barriers can lead to very serious situations. Kavita Palmer is a clinician by background and Co-Founder of Word360, a multilingual and translation support platform used across the NHS. Her mission is to solve this, at scale - and the problem is vast.

जरूरी था बस उसी की ओर ध्यान देना।En: This beautiful spring showed him new happiness in life - all it required was paying attention to it.

In this powerful episode of Philanthropy in Phocus, Tommy D, the Nonprofit Sector Connector, sits down with Kavita Mehra, Executive Director of Sakhi for South Asian Survivors of Gender-Based Violence, for an honest, vulnerable, and inspiring conversation about what it means to build a life of service and stand with survivors. From her working-class Jersey roots and 100-hour weeks in her mother's Hallmark store, to frontline overnight shelter work, to being fired from a fundraising role and coming back stronger, Kavita shares how every step of her journey shaped the leader she is today.Kavita opens up about being a survivor herself, the loneliness of navigating class and identity as an Indian American woman, and how those lived experiences inform her leadership at Sakhi. She and Tommy dig into the realities of direct service vs. development, the importance of professionalizing the nonprofit sector, and why fundraising is really about storytelling, connection, and aligning passion with resources. Along the way, they talk about the Imagine Awards, sector stress, and why small groups of committed people truly can change the world.You'll also hear how Sakhi has grown from a small organization with a modest budget into a $7M+ movement hub with a 50-person team, offering holistic, in-house support for survivors across the South Asian and Indo-Caribbean diaspora: a helpline and text line, safety planning, immigration and family law support, trauma-informed counseling, housing assistance, culturally specific food access, economic empowerment, job coaching, and more. Kavita and Tommy emphasize that survivors are the agents of change in their own lives – Sakhi's role is to clear barriers so they can safely make their own choices. They close with a call to action to support Sakhi or your local gender-based violence organization, because this work is truly life-and-death and impacts every community.Resources & How to Get HelpIf you or someone you know may be experiencing gender-based violence and needs support:Sakhi for South Asian Survivors

Understand the importance of family. These moments don't come back."Hi: रोहन, जो अब तक चुप था, बोला, "दीदी, तुम हमेशा काम में बिजी रहती हो। कभी-कभी परिवार के साथ भी तो समय बिताना चाहिए।"En: Rohan, who had been silent until now, spoke, "Sister, you're always busy with work.
