A story went viral on the NY Post and Reddit in the past 24 hours claiming that a husband left his wife because he became OBSESSED with a #tradwife on TikTok. This is the headline: TikTok ruined my husband of 12 years — now he wants a ‘tradwife' and we're getting divorced. We clearly had to do an emergency episode about this and I couldn't think of a better guest than my own husband, Nick Aster, who is constantly confused by #tradwives and social media in general. Is this for real? (probably not) Is it hilarious and totally worth talking about? (Absolutely). Should we turn it into a domestic thriller television series? (working on it right now). And how can we use this topic to talk more with our spouses about equality and sharing the burden of domestic labor? (It is all in this episode).You can read the NY Post story here.Subscribe to the Over the Influence Substack here.Pre-order the Sicilian Inheritance here.

Subscribe to America Adapts on Itunes In this traveling episode, Doug Parsons takes America Adapts on the road to sunny Ft. Lauderdale, Florida! Doug was invited as press to cover the inaugural Companies vs Climate Change (CvCC) conference. The purpose of the event was: to serve as a global forum for companies of all sizes to share best practices for solving climate change with wholly justifiable business value. CvCC strives to serve as a conduit that will bring companies together to create business driven solutions to the climate crisis. This conference was about three things: 1.Climate change; 2.How can companies address climate change? 3. How can companies collaborate to address climate change? As you can see, it covered a lot. The city of Ft. Lauderdale was an excellent setting, embedded in the South Florida culture of adaptation. The plenary speaker was Republican Mayor of Ft. Lauderdale, Jack Seiler. The Mayor stressed the role businesses must play in meeting the challenges of climate change, and he noted, his city is dealing with the impacts of sea level rise first hand. Although still a hot potato issue in other parts of the country, it was refreshing to see South Florida embrace the need to address what is happening in their own backyard (or beach). Doug listened in to a number of interesting presentation topics: the major airlines addressed carbon mitigation in the airline industry; resilience in the supply chain process; the role of renewable energy; dealing with climate change under a new political administration; and developing public/private partnerships. Generally, Doug has participated in more adaptation themed conferences, but this one was a mix of mitigation and adaptation. It was interesting to see many of the businesses try to incorporate adaptation into their already existing sustainability efforts. Terms like “triple bottom lined” were used frequently (social, economic and environmental); terminology Doug was not accustomed to hearing in conservation oriented meetings! Doug wandered the hallways, interviewing scientists, business people and non governmental representatives. A sampling of some of the ‘mini-podcasts’ below: Chandler Van Voorhis of Green Trees discussed: Carbon markets and tree plantings. Markets moving ahead independent of government action. Launch of new app to help offset carbon. Michael Green of the Climate Action Business Association His groups helps businesses understand the risks and opportunities with climate change. Discussed what small business leaders have already done. We discuss if adaptation/risk officers will follow the same, underappreciated path of sustainability officers. Greg Hamra of Hamra Center for Climate Solutions Discussed the Citizens Climate Lobby and its role in mitigation policy. Their efforts to engage with businesses. Doug also talked with Dr. Tiffany Troxler and Dr. Shimon Wdowinski of Florida International University, both sea level rise experts, and conference organizer, Nick Aster, from Triple Pundit. Listen in to the micro-podcasts to hear their perspectives on the role of ‘companies versus climate change.’ Finally, yes, most of your favorite podcasts are supported by listeners just like you!

Environmental journalism is about way more than drawing ornate landscapes in your diary (although we're sure they're beautiful!). The field covers everything from John Muir's prolific writing of the American West to the stories we hear about climate change on the news. Nick Aster of TriplePundit joins us on the second episode of our Net Impact National Conference series to explain trends in environmental journalism and how he got his start with his renowned blog. ----------------------------- SustainabilityDefined is the podcast that seeks to define sustainability, one concept (and bad joke) at a time. Hosted by Jay Siegel and Scott Breen. Each episode focuses on a single topic that helps push sustainability forward. We explain each topic with the help of an experienced pro, place it within our organizational tree, and help our listeners define what exactly sustainability is, episode by episode. We have divided our organizational tree into the following seven sectors: Energy Cities Natural Environment Transportation Business Policy Social Each episode is categorized under one of our sectors and visually depicted within our organizational tree. The more episodes we complete, the more the tree will visually define what exactly sustainability means. www.sustainabilitydefined.com

Bring on the Business Sustainability Introducing Nick Aster For too long sustainability was a niche topic discussed mostly by activists. However, now there seems to be a shift in the tides where business is coming to the table to make a real impact. One of the reasons for this is due to the hard work of people like our guest this week on the Boiling Point, Nick Aster. Nick is the founder of TriplePundit.com, which is an online business sustainability publication he started as a passion project around 10 years ago. After completing on of the first MBA programs in the subject of business sustainability, Nick wanted to get the word out on all he had learned and on some exciting people. Five years later, Nick was able to quit his former job and work TriplePundit.com full time. Nick has seen the evolution of business sustainability from a niche topic to a cautious optimism as large corporations are starting to buy in and make their own impacts. No longer does it seem that business sees activists as agitators, but now collaborators toward a better world and increased profitability. Sure, for some of these companies it might be just great PR or lip service, but more often then not these companies are taking the issue seriously. In this episode Greg tells us about his visit to the Sustainable Brands conference in San Diego (where he met Nick). Nick tells us why he believes there has been a change in mindset from big companies toward participating in sustainability. He tells his motivation to make an online publication like he has and about its growth to 500,000 readers a month. Nick and Greg talk about being mission based media companies. Nick also talks about an interesting conversation he had with a massive corporation at Sustainable Brands that had him greatly encouraged. Nick tells us the greatest starting places for your business to start its path toward sustainability. He also tells it why it is important to make practical impacts that are not abstract and are directly connected to you and your business. Dave appreciates how the track to sustainability could be so practical and useful to business. Greg joins the cautious celebration that businesses are really starting to jump on board with this concept.
