When @stevenizen was just 19 years old, his beloved grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, an event that brought him to his personal low in life. It was during this time that Steven founded @lokai - the iconic bracelet brand that encourages people to find hope in their darkest moments. Each Lokai bracelet incorporates water from Mount Everest and mud from the Dead Sea - the highest and lowest points on earth - to serve as a simple daily reminder to remain humble and hopeful through life's inevitable highs and lows. To date, Lokai has given $9M+ as part of its 10% profits to charity pledge, supporting a growing list of incredible organizations like The Humane Society, Alzheimer's Association, The Make-a-Wish Foundation, Stand Up to Cancer, and One Tree Planted. Steven was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 List for Retail and Ecommerce in 2017, was the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards Finalist in 2016, and currently serves as the youngest member on the national board of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. In this episode, Michael and Steven discuss the highs and lows of being an entrepreneur, what it takes to run a successful business in 2023, and how to avoid burnout.

Ever wondered how a wood viscous fabric feels against your skin? Well, Terresa Zimmerman, founder of Wood Underwear, sat with us to discuss her unique brand that's disrupting the men's underwear market with just that. Her journey from tech PR to entrepreneurship is nothing short of fascinating, and she generously shares her experiences and insights. From her decision to focus on Main Street rather than Amazon, to the creation of the company's standout brand identity using a distinctive orange color and font, Teresa's story is a must-listen for budding entrepreneurs and anyone interested in innovative products.Our conversation with Teresa also dives into the nitty gritty of starting a business and bringing a product to market. Teresa shares her early experiences, which involve driving around Los Angeles with her first shipment of underwear, visiting stores and attempting to sell her product. She provides an honest perspective on the challenges of selling something as personal as underwear and shares her thoughts on why outsourcing sales initially may not always be the best approach. We conclude with a discussion about Wood Underwear's environmental commitment through their partnership with One Tree Planted, which has already resulted in the planting of over 5,000 trees. So tune in, learn something new, and perhaps rethink your underwear drawer too!Support the showAm I adding value to you?If so - I'd like to ask you to support the show.In return, I will continue to bring massive value with two weekly shows, up to 3 hours per month of brilliant conversations and insights.Monthly subscriptions start at $3 per month.

Extreme heat is the number one weather-related cause of death in the USA. That's the bad news. But the good news is we have a solution to combat it: Urban tree cover is one of the most effective ways cities can cool heat islands and save lives. The problem: tree coverage is not equitable across urban neighborhoods in the US.That's where the Tree Equity Alliance — a new coalition of conservation nonprofits American Forests, GreenLatinos, Groundwork USA, and One Tree Planted — comes in. It will work to advance equitable urban tree cover, AKA “Tree Equity.” New data from American Forests now shows:Lower-income neighborhoods have 36% less tree cover and are 6 degrees warmer than wealthier neighborhoods during the hottest summer monthsCommunities of color tend to have 45% less urban canopy and are 9 degrees warmer during that same timeframe.This disparity has lasting effects on the health and economic opportunity in low-income neighborhoods. By pooling funding and resources together, the Tree Equity Alliance aims to achieve Tree Equity in 100 U.S. cities by 2030. To learn more about this initiative and why advocating for adequate urban tree cover in underrepresented communities is essential to fight both climate change and racial justice, I sat down with American Forests' tree equity lead, Benita Hussain. Prior to joining American Forests, Hussain was the director of the 10 Minute Walk, a national campaign led by The Trust for Public Land which was named as a 2020 Fast Company World Changing Idea under her leadership. Hussain was an environmental policy advisor to Mayor Mike Bloomberg and to late-Boston Mayor Thomas Menino.  She and her writing have been featured in The New York Times, and The Hill, among other outlets, and she sits on multiple environmental and conservation boards.

"I said I'll put in $2 million... that I didn't yet have." In this episode of our season on "Business as a force for good", Richard speaks with Matt Hill, the Chief Environmental Evangelist at reforestation nonprofit, One Tree Planted. He founded the organization in 2015 and it has gone on to plant over 100 million trees in more than 80 countries. Matt is a winner of the Real Leaders 2023 Impact Awards.

Did you know that Trees help clean the air we breathe, filter the water we drink, and provide habitat to over 80% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity? Forests provide jobs to over 1.6 billion people, absorb harmful carbon from the atmosphere, and are key ingredients in 25% of all medicines (https://onetreeplanted.org/pages/why-trees). TODAY'S WIN-WIN:Together we can plant a forest.LINKS FROM THE EPISODE:You can visit our guest's website at: https://onetreeplanted.org/If you are ready to franchise your business or take it to the next level: CLICK HERE.ABOUT OUR GUEST:After over 15 years as an educator, business leader, and eco-adventurer, Matt wanted a simple way to help individuals and businesses make real progress towards a more sustainable planet. He started One Tree Planted when he realized that planting trees is one of the simplest things we can do for the environment, while also having a big impact on biodiversity, climate change, and health. That's where the idea for "one dollar, one tree planted" originated, and the rest is history. In 2022 they planted nearly 53 million trees in 74 countries, and they are on pace to plant more than 100 million trees this year.ABOUT BIG SKY FRANCHISE TEAM:This episode is powered by Big Sky Franchise Team.

This episode features a conversation between Phil Dillard, Founder of Thruline Networks, and Louis Lagoutte, Branch Manager at One Tree Planted, a non-profit working worldwide to plant trees, restore ecosystems, protect biodiversity and create sustainable economic opportunities.A graduate of United World College and Jacobs University Bremen, Louis' interests involve environmental sustainability and the discourse that ensues, exploring difficult questions around the trade offs needed to make the vital changes much needed in our world. He's passionate about rewilding and views tree planting as the solution to many of humanity's problems. In his current role, Louis builds strategic partnerships from the private sector to enable impact and scale up critical work helping plant trees all over the globe.In this episode, Louis talks about defining impact within the non-profit sector, planting trees as a means to an end, and how one can individually contribute towards a better future.—Guest Quote“Planting trees is a means to an end. It's not the goal of the project itself. We're planting trees in order to, for example, restore the wildlife corridor. We're planting trees in order to diversify the incomes of smallholder farmers, prevent soil erosion on their lands, and help their other crops. We're planting trees to prevent flooding. So, planting trees as a means to an end. And that is looking at the ecosystem, planting the right trees in the right place, involving the communities, and also planting trees where there's meant to be. Some places are meant to be forests, and that's where we want to do restoration. But some places are also meant to be wetlands. Some places are meant to be grasslands, and we understand that what we are doing is one piece of the puzzle of a very complex, multifaceted puzzle, which is all of the work and restoration which we need to do on our planet.” - Louis LagoutteEpisode Timestamps(02:18) Louis' current role(09:44) Getting involved in One Tree Planted(15:52) Defining impact within the organization(21:54) One Tree Planted as a non-profit(29:50) Longitudinal data on the impact of projects(34:30) Why people choose One Tree Planted(37:08) Quick hit questionsLinksLouis Lagoutte's LinkedInOne Tree PlantedPhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

This episode we have something a little bit different as we talk with Karl McGrory, director of Europe at One Tree Planted. As an international nonprofit focused on reforestation, One Tree Planted has garnered widespread support from many sectors, including the pharmaceutical industry. Teckro has partnered with One Tree Planted and contributed to a project in Ireland, home to our HQ. Karl talks about Ireland's significant deforestation over the centuries and upcoming projects they have around the world.“There's an old folklore that said a squirrel could travel from the south of Ireland to the northern tip without touching the ground. That's how forested it was. So, it really is important that we restore some of the trees to that landscape.”

She founded Climb Hire in 2019 as a way to generate upward mobility for people earning below livable wage. Climb Hire's program model is based on Nitzan's first-hand research as an Entrepreneur in Residence at LinkedIn, where she studied the powerful role that social networks can play in securing living wage jobs.Nitzan was the founding CEO of an Entangled Ventures company called ReUp Education that focuses on re-enrolling students who have dropped out of college (acquired in 2022 by Avethon). She also founded the New York region of Citizen Schools, a middle school initiative for low income students.Early in her career she worked at the Department of Education in New York City, KIPP, and Teach for America. Nitzan holds a Masters in Public Administration from New York University and a BA from Stern College for Women, and is an Ascend Fellow with the Aspen Institute, as well as an official “LinkedIn Influencer.”About Climb HireClimb Hire is an innovative upskilling nonprofit organization that helps overlooked and hidden talent develop the soft and in-demand skills, as well as the professional network needed to break into new careers with livable wages. Climb Hire places a strong emphasis on social capital, as LinkedIn data suggests that jobseekers are 9x more likely to be hired when referred by someone else.Once climbers finish a designated learning track, they pay it forward by returning to the program and teaching others, ultimately helping one another grow their networks and increase job opportunities, similar to an Ivy League-type university network for people who lack traditional means of gaining skills or social capital.Climb Hire mantaints 50+ employer partnerships with companies in industries ranging from tech, to healthcare, to financial services, effectively providing businesses with a pipeline of motivated, vetted talent. 80% of climbers secure new roles within 6 months, and their average income increases by $15-20k.  ---> Check out the Causeartist Partners here.---> Subscribe to the Causeartist Newsletter here.

Billions of batteries are disposed of every year. Conventional batteries often contain toxic materials, metals, and dangerous electrolytes. BeFC is about to change this dynamic. 15 billion primary batteries are disposed of every year 97% of miniature batteries end up in landfill or are incinerated 1 in 3 adults admit to regularly throwing batteries in the bin The BeFC biofuel cells are a revolutionary way to power electronics. Combining advanced chemistry and nanomaterials, these cells are capable of providing high performance energy in a safe and sustainable way.They can be used to power everyday items like smartphones, tablets, or even robots. The cells utilize organic materials, meaning they are completely metal-free and biodegradable. This makes them ideal for use in environmentally sensitive areas where traditional batteries may be harmful to the environment.Additionally, BeFC biofuel cells offer traceability and transparency which allows for greater insights into the impacts of energy consumption. In terms of performance, these cells boast higher energy density than traditional batteries and have a longer operational life with minimal self-discharge. With this in mind, the use of BeFC biofuel cells is an effective way to reduce waste while still providing an efficient source of energy. ---> Check out the Causeartist Partners here.---> Subscribe to the Causeartist Newsletter here.

Go up to anyone and the one thing you can count on is that they'll offer up advice if asked. Everyone has their thoughts on what to do to make “this” better or to achieve “that”. Much of the time this advice is valid and made with the best intentions. But it doesn't always work. My guest on this episode turns advice on its head when she advocates the idea of doing nothing. While at first glance this may sound ridiculous or even a waste of time, it makes a lot of sense when you see it the way that psychotherapist and transformational coach Jeanine Thompson sees and practices it. As she tells us:•This is what doing nothing really means•The things that are learned from this practice•How to make your thoughts go away•What she means by ‘911 for the soul'•How she learned to connect with her soul and how you can too If life is moving too fast for you and you feel the need to slow down, you'll want to hear what Jeanine Thompson has to say on this introspective episode of Dream Power Radio.

This week, we celebrate an exciting milestone as Totally Clinical hits its 50th episode. In the spirit of Teckro's core values: be responsive, do the right thing, and make an impact, CEO Gary Hughes joins us to discuss the issues that really matter.

The Fast Casual Nation Podcast offers exclusive interviews with experts ranging from top chefs and brand makers to executives and restaurants who work in one of the fastest-growing segments of the restaurant industry. In this episode, I talk with Mary Jane Riva, chief executive officer and president of the Pizza Factory about growing the brand and the importance of community. Riva has been in the industry for more than thirty years. She worked in a donut shop at 16 years old, which led to owning her own shop. Riva got into pizza with her husband and became a franchisee for Pizza Factory for twenty-four years. In 2012 Riva became the CEO of the brand that has over 100 locations across the country. Riva says, “Over our time in Southern California, we ended up opening about five stores and then fast forward to 2012 when the founders asked us if we would like to buy the company.” She goes on to say that what she likes most about being an entrepreneur is the idea of not knowing what everyday will be like and how it will not be the same. “So it's kind of exciting, challenging, so that's what really kind of kept me in this business,” Riva adds. Riva's experience as a franchisee helped her transition into becoming a franchisor. The Pizza Factory franchisees had trust and offered support as she stepped into her new role. She says, “And I think the biggest thing was probably the easiest for them to accept about the whole thing was that they knew I was a franchisee, they knew I knew exactly what they were going through, and I still have stores.” We talk about the importance of community and Riva shares that the founders started back in 1985 and their idea was to go into small towns and be a part of it, work in it and support that community. Riva says, “As a company, we also take on some initiatives in addition to what our stores do and our stores do amazing things in their communities. Our franchisees are so giving and so involved in their communities. We have the anti bully program, we work with No Kid Hungry and we're starting with One Tree Planted. So being a part of the community we just feel is the right thing to do and ultimately, you get what you give. And if you are supporting your community, they're going to support you back.” To hear Riva talk about growth plans for the Pizza Factory and her top three tips for franchisee satisfaction check out this episode of Fast Casual Nation or tune in on Apple Podcasts.

What happens when tensions over water reach their boiling point? In our final bonus episode of the summer season, we explore the causes of water conflicts and what we can do to stop them. We start with the Middle East, a water-scarce region where conflict brews over shared water resources. We then turn to Latin America, where migrants are spurred by climate change, and the lack of water rights in Chilé has created conflict between the government and its people. We revisit conversations with four renowned guests from our past episodes: EcoPeace Middle East Director Gidon Bromberg, economist Jeffrey Sachs, journalist Abrahm Lustgarten and activist Carolina Vilches. You can find their full episodes from our previous seasons here: S1E3 & S1E4: Water, peace and the Middle East: Part 1 & Part 2: Water, Peace and the Middle East featuring Gidon Bromberg   S2E13 Towards a Better, Greener World with Jeffrey Sachs https://www.whataboutwater.org/s02e13/   S2E4 The Great Climate Migration with Abrahm Lustgarten https://www.whataboutwater.org/s02e04/   S3E11 Water Pipes to Water Rights: Protecting Water with Newsha Ajami and Carolina Vilches https://www.whataboutwater.org/s03e11/   We'd love to hear your thoughts about our show in our What About Water Listener Survey.

From farmer's fields to the high arctic, from your morning cup of coffee to a glass of wine – everything we eat and drink depends on water. In the second episode of our summer mini season, we draw from our past interviews about water scarcity and its effect on our food supply.   We take a look at last year's drought and withered crops on the Canadian prairies, and how melting permafrost in the arctic threatens traditional knowledge about food from the land for the Inuit of Iqaluit. We hear how coffee farmers in Sierra Leone are cultivating the climate-resilient "Stenophylla" species to bring it to market, and how crops like coffee beans and wine grapes are sensitive indicators of climate change -- and changes coming to these industries.   We'd like to hear your thoughts about our show in our What About Water Listener Survey.

In our first mini-episode of the summer season, we turn to three guests from our past seasons to explore Indigenous ways of knowing, and to look more closely at the sacred nature of water -- how various people understand it, conserve it and co-exist with it.   Janet Pitsiulaaq Brewster shares how climate change is affecting Indigenous reconciliation efforts in Canada and what melting permafrost means for the Inuit of Iqaluit.   Deon Hassler gives hope to a new generation of Indigenous water operators in the face of long-term boil water advisories. And Josée Street shares her story of learning the lessons of western science, while the teachings of her family and culture bubble under the surface.   We'd also like to hear your thoughts, in our What About Water Listener Survey. As a thank you, we will plant a tree through One Tree Planted for each survey our podcast listeners complete.

Today I am speaking with Matt Hill. Founder and Chief Environmental Evangelist at the reforestation nonprofit, One Tree Planted. After 15 years as an educator, business leader, and eco-adventurer, he wanted a simple way to help individuals and businesses make real progress towards a more sustainable planet. He started One Tree Planted when he realized that planting trees is one of the simplest things we can do for the environment, while also having a big impact on biodiversity, climate change, and health. Today we will learn how with just one dollar and one tree planted we can make a huge impact. www.onetreeplanted.orgSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bethechange-with-christine-dimmick.

"I'm a deep believer in the values of democracy, human rights, and the system where civil society and people play a key role in the discussions about society and also assuming responsibility, whether it's through labor unions, youth organizations…I think one key solution at the level of society is more equality. More equal societies bring a lot of advantages. I think that is a critical component to building a sustainable society. We cannot pretend that the current distribution of wealth on this planet between countries and within countries is a fertile ground for longterm sustainability. It isn't."Hans Bruyninckx is the Executive Director of the European Environment Agency. He is a political scientist and international relations scholar specializing in global environmental governance, climate change, and sustainable development. Previous to his work at EEA, he was head of the HIVA Research Institute and of the Political Science department at KU Leuven, senior member of the interdisciplinary Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies and promoter-coordinator of the Flemish Policy Research Centre on Transitions for Sustainable Development.· https://www.eea.europa.eu/about-us/governance/executive-director
