In this episode of the Marketing and Distribution Podcast, host Alex Stolz is joined by Ana Maria Jipa and Malcolm Wood, co-founders of Olyn, a new digital platform aiming to redefine how independent films are released and monetized. Drawing on their backgrounds in technology, entrepreneurship, and film production, Ana and Malcolm discuss how Olyn seeks to provide filmmakers with direct-to-consumer tools — enabling them to maintain ownership, access audience data, and control the viewing experience. The conversation covers core platform functionalities, including custom landing pages, geo-blocking, revenue splits, and scarcity-based release strategies. The episode also explores broader shifts in the film industry: the growing demand for alternative distribution models, the role of audience data in decision-making, and how creators are beginning to apply startup thinking to their release strategies. Ana and Malcolm share examples of early user behavior, evolving filmmaker mindsets, and the rationale behind their  business model. This conversation provides a detailed look at the evolving digital infrastructure for independent film — and how tools like Olyn could help bridge the gap between creation, monetization, and long-term audience engagement.

Microplastics are defined as plastic particles smaller than five millimeters. They are challenging to detect and can have primary or secondary origins. Studying the life cycles of plastics is crucial for reducing microplastics and allows the industry to develop more durable products and design items that degrade under controlled conditions.The journey towards safeguarding from microplastics in our environment is a process that demands global collaboration. Our guest, Dr. Jeanne Hankett, Sustainability Lead, North American Biodegradation & Microplastics Center of Excellence at BASF, shares valuable insights from her extensive work in this field. Dr. Hankett also provides practical advice for consumers, encouraging proper recycling practices and awareness of compostable materials.Dr. Hankett also discusses how innovation requires collaboration between scientists, industry experts, and academia. Advanced analytical techniques and collaborations between stakeholders on a global scale are crucial for addressing the complexity of microplastic pollution.

Can government and industry have the most impact when it comes to climate change? Or is it up to the individual to take action?  Craig Leeson is the 2022 Tasmanian Australian of the Year and a self-described storyteller who feels a personal responsibility to have an impact. The one-time foreign correspondent now makes and sells documentaries to broadcasters around the world so his stories addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, single use plastics and environmental issues are seen far and wide.   Leeson's first feature-length documentary, A Plastic Ocean, released in 2017, has been viewed around the world. It's ranked as one of the world's top documentaries to watch about the environment, and is still winning awards today.  In this special edition of our Tide For Change series, listen in as Vince and Craig discuss; being the first media on the ground at the 2015 Nepal earthquake disaster, a transformative evening spent drinking wine with David Attenborough, and the extraordinarily emotional experience of witnessing wildlife literally choke to death on plastic.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Newman, photographer and Educator at the John Burroughs School, stopped by to speak with Nancy about his exhibition, Plastic Ocean, at the Bonsack Gallery. About Andrew Newman: Andrew Newman '87 joined the Burroughs faculty in 1992. He teachers photography and is the school photographer. Newman is also the faculty coordinator of Student Activities; faculty sponsor of the Student Congress; and a faculty co-sponsor of The Hague International Model United Nations. He holds a bachelor of arts degree from Vanderbilt University and a masters of education degree from Washington University. About Plastic Ocean: Andrew Newman spent part of his sabbatical year from John Burroughs School out on the ocean studying and photographing the "Great Garbage Patch," an enormous area in the ocean littered with the refuse of humanity, especially plastics. ------ Researchers from The Ocean Cleanup project claimed that the patch covers 1.6 million square kilometres (620 thousand square miles).[4] Some of the plastic in the patch is over 50 years old, and includes items (and fragments of items) such as "plastic lighters, toothbrushes, water bottles, pens, baby bottles, cell phones, plastic bags, and nurdles." The small fibers of wood pulp found throughout the patch are "believed to originate from the thousands of tons of toilet paper flushed into the oceans daily." ------  JOHN BURROUGHS SCHOOL 755 South Price Road St. Louis, MO 63124    

The amount of plastic - trillions of pieces and millions of tons - in the ocean is one of the planet's most daunting environmental challenges. But many people are undeterred and drawn to projects to address the pollution, some even traveling thousands of miles across the ocean to study the problem and starting organizations dedicated to solutions.That's the personal journey discussed in this episode with Bonnie Monteleone, Founder and Executive Director of the Plastic Ocean Project. Bonnie talks about the use of art in public outreach, enlisting businesses to reduce plastic, the enthusiasm of young people for tackling the pollution, and working on the issue from the North Carolina coast.Visit https://www.waterloop.orgwaterloop is a nonprofit media outlet, made possible in part by a grant from Spring Point Partners.

Mülleimer auf. Plastik rein. Problem gelöst oder? Doch in Wahrheit ersticken unsere Meere in Plastik. Regelmäßig sterben Meerestiere und Vögel im Müll und auch Menschen kämpfen täglich mit Begleiterscheinungen der weltweiten Müllflut. Aber wie groß ist das Problem wirklich? Was lässt sich dagegen unternehmen und wie genau kommt es zu diesen Folgen durch Plastik in den Meeren, die nicht nur Lebewesen und Lebensräume unter Wasser betreffen, sondern auch uns? Darum geht es in dieser Folge zusammen mit Isabelle Günther, Social Media Managerin bei Crafting Future und Nachhaltigkeitsinfluencerin (@isa_goes_green).

Craig Leeson is an international film-maker/journalist/adventurer and director of the Netflix film "A Plastic Ocean". He joined me for this episode to discuss his perspective on the state of plastic pollution, climate, COP26 and the future of our planet. Craig has another film coming out on IMAX in March '22. It's called "The Last Glaciers" and highlights the reality of climate change by filming on location of some of the world's largest glaciers, from the alpine summit of the Alps to the Antarctic and Greenland. This will be a very important documentary containing essential information for educators.You should follow Craig and all that he is involved with on the social media platforms. And why should you? Because he is providing riveting and relevant information that needs to be brought to the classrooms of the world. Our climate issues won't fix themselves. They need motivated, curious and educated young people to emerge from the schools inspired and equipped to make a difference and bring about change. I'm proud to be an educator with the opportunity to effect change on the planet and affect the future through my students. Craig Leeson does the same through film. Our goals are one and the same: with knowing comes caring and with caring comes change.Find Craig on Instagram:@therealcraigleeson@thelastglaciersFind Craig on Twitter:@CraigLeeson

I am so beyond happy to welcome the legend - Sian Sutherland, a serial entrepreneur across many disciplines and sectors from advertising to Michelin-star restaurant, film production, and skincare startup. On top of all, her attention is now focused on the titanic problem of plastic. So she and her incredible co-founder launched the Plastic Planet.   Sian shared with us the raw story of her beginnings. She was the first entrepreneur in her family and sort of a black sheep. Unlike her siblings, who had an academic future planned, she made her rocky road through life, starting with the first job at the age of seventeen. On the other side, she had an incredibly supportive family and total encouragement, which helped her become who she is today.    We talk about the importance of failures and how they made us more empathetic, grounded, connected persons. So, Sian re-branded the term "failure" into "growth." We need to applaud people for trying, and if they fail, we have to applaud them for having grown into that failure.    The first business Sian launched was a restaurant. She wanted to leave her job in advertising to start a restaurant business she had zero experience with, so she simultaneously did 3 jobs for a year. After that, she finally opened her restaurant.    This was a fantastic five-years-experience. Sian describes it as a rollercoaster. She also thinks that women are biologically adept at re-invention, so she got back to her marketing roots and started a branding and marketing agency.    We talk about the position of naivety and how empowering is the benefit of not knowing. This is something that has played a huge role in Sian's decision to build her next business - a pregnancy skincare brand Mama Mio. If you have a will, you will find a way. If you can run the restaurant, you can run the country.   Finally, she left Mio too, and she talks about her feelings back then. That business was a part of her identity she loved. Still, she realized she had to jump off. At the time, she was asked to consult the board of Plastic Ocean Foundation. She advised them on releasing the documentary film "A Plastic Ocean" and realized this was her next thing.  Sian shared with us the story of the very beginning of the idea behind the Plastic Planet. They wanted to give people a choice to buy something different, become free of guilt, and start prototyping the future.    She is aware that plastic pollution is not slowing down. Plastic Planet is initiating dialogue between important stakeholders and at the same time building a global resources library.   Sian's message for people who are starting their business is: "Don't find a trend, find a need, or go even further - find a movement and build a community." She also has a question you need to find the answer to if you want to build a successful business: "How is it converted to sales?"   "Life is too short to blend in," "Embrace your naivety as your superpower," and many other inspiring pieces of advice from Sian are waiting for you in this episode.    Listen to it until the end, and find out even more about how incredible Sian does her thing and still makes time for mini-breaks with friends and family.

As the Director of Science, Research and Academic Partnerships for Plastic Ocean Project, Inc. as well as the Executive Director, Bonnie Monteleone is a researcher who has collected plastic marine samples globally including four of the five main ocean gyres, the Caribbean, and has extended this work to Pyramid Lake, outside of Reno, Nevada.  Monteleone completed her first field study exploration in the North Atlantic Gyre in July 2009 in collaboration with  Maureen Conte, PhD. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and Bermuda Institute of Ocean Science (BIOS). In the fall of 2009, Monteleone accompanied Algalita Marine Research Foundation's 10-year resampling of the North Pacific Gyre, quantifying the rate of plastic marine debris growth to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, sampling a transect of 3,460 nautical miles (nm).In 2010, she continued her North Atlantic study resampling the same region in the North Atlantic. In fall of 2010, she joined 5 Gyres Institute in a first ever South Atlantic transect sampling for pelagic marine debris traveling 4,270 nm from Brazil to South Africa. In 2012, Monteleone collected samples from the South Pacific as part of the film project, A Plastic Ocean. To date, she has five years of data sets from the North Atlantic. A total of 217 surface samples were collected from all four oceans. Monteleone collaborates with Charles Moore, founder of the Algalita Marine Research Foundation (AMRF), Dr. Marcus Eriksen and Anna Cummings, co-founders of 5 Gyres Institute, Dr. William J. Cooper, University of California Irvine (UCI), and Dr. Maureen Conte, BIOS.  In 2012, Bonnie Monteleone and Paul Lorenzo co-founded the 501c3 Plastic Ocean Project, Inc.Monteleone also works in the Environmental Studies Department at UNC Wilmington as an Adjunct Instructor teaching a Plastic Marine Debris Field Studies course and manages a lab working with student Directed Independent Studies (DIS) research. Research projects vary from fieldwork collecting beach samples to lab analysis looking at plastic leachates, persistent organic pollutants (POPs) uptakes, and plastic ingestion by marine organisms. She collaborates with Drs. Pamela Seaton, Brooks Avery, Susanne Brander, and Alison Taylor at UNCW.Bonnie is also an accomplished artist, turning some of the plastic she collects on her voyages into modern artistic masterpieces. This work story boards her research and has become a traveling art exhibit  - What goes around comes around.  She received the Conservation Communicator of the Year 2017, Governor's Award, Cape Fear YWCA Woman of the Year - Environmental Award 2018, and nominated for the Cape Fear Woman of Achievement award 2018. She is a member of the Sierra Club Marine Team and on the NC Wildlife Federation's Board of Directors.Connect with Bonniehttps://www.plasticoceanproject.orgJournaling PromptsWhat are some ways that you can reduce/eliminate your use of plastics in everyday life?

We sit down with Emy Kane of The Lonely Whale to discuss the state of our oceans and what we can do to save their wonder.@lonelywhale@plantpeople

On this episode of Building Local Power, host Jess Del Fiacco is joined by Neil Seldman, Director of ILSR's Waste to Wealth initiative, and Captain Charles Moore, author of Plastic Ocean: How a Sea Captain's Chance Discovery Launched a Determined Quest to Save the Oceans. Their conversation focuses on Moore's latest article, Mine Landfills Now!, which describes his vision for turning landfills into “resource recovery parks.” They also discuss: The benefits communities can gain from recognizing all waste is, according to Moore, “a resource waiting for recovery.” How Moore's scientific and political background informed his reaction to discovering the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in the late 90s. Why a global grassroots political movement is needed to address climate change and plastic pollution and save the oceans. Moore's upcoming projects, including determining a methodology for measuring plastic in drinking water.   “The goal is to use technology to liberate mankind. It has that potential. There's no question that liberating technology is already in place and has helped millions of people. The question is ‘What about the billions that haven't been helped by it?' We can't ever lose sight of that.”   Contact Captain Charles Moore: captain-charles-moore.org cmoore@algalita.org Algalita Marine Research and Education   Related Resources Plastic Ocean: How a Sea Captain's Chance Discovery Launched a Determined Quest to Save the Oceans.

I'm Jess Del Fiacco, the host of Building Local Power and communications manager here at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance. For 45 years, ILSR has worked to build thriving, equitable communities where power, wealth, and accountability remain in local hands. Jess Del Fiacco: Today I'm here with Neil Seldman, who's the director of ILSR's Waste to Wealth initiative, as well as Captain Charles Moore, who's the author of Plastic Ocean and a long-time zero-waste advocate. So welcome to the show, guys. Neil Seldman: Thank you. Charles Moore: Thank you. Jess Del Fiacco: Yeah. Neil, if you want to get us started? Neil Seldman: Yes. I will, and it's a pleasure to have Charles here. Known Charles for many years, and we both coordinate the Save the Albatross Coalition, which is a grassroots organization, and I'll just let people know that Charles has been a pioneer researcher. He's continuing his research through several research organizations, which we'll hear about, and he is an international leader, but he's also a national leader involved in all aspects of retaining plastic, protecting the oceans, and helping the country as well as the world get to zero waste. Neil Seldman: Having said that, I'd like to ask Charles to start us off by just indicating what led you to inquire about the garbage patches that you discovered now some 25 years ago. Charles Moore: Well, it was an accidental kind of discovery, although I hesitate to call it a discovery, because it was just a feeling of unease about seeing so much anthropogenic debris as far from human civilization as you can get. This Eastern North Pacific Subtropical Gyre is huge. It's probably the largest climatic feature on the planet, and I crossed it in 1997 during the largest El Niño on record, and it was very calm, and that allowed whatever trash was there to float to the surface, and I couldn't come on deck without seeing some form of human-made debris pass by the vessel, and that happened for a whole week. So as a self-described marine mammal, growing up here on the ocean in Long Beach, California,

In today's episode of The Plastic Podcast, I will be sharing with you all about a documentary that I recently watched by the name of A Plastic Ocean.

Our guest this week is serial entrepreneur and adventure athlete, Malcolm Wood. Malcolm is the founder of A Plastic Ocean / The Last Glaciers / Maximal Concepts. Malcolm is a reputable influence in the F&B industry. His passion for design and food led him to co-found the multi award-winning Maximal Concepts, a hospitality group that has created and owned over twenty individual brands and has restaurants in numerous international locations. In addition to acting as Culinary Director, Malcolm is also Global Managing Director. Maximal Concepts is one of the fastest growing F&B companies in the world and one of the most awarded in Asia. Malcolm is heavily influenced by his love for the environment and often engages with conservation projects. A passionate environmental filmmaker and social entrepreneur, he has been on the Board of Directors for several charities and is actively involved in their various projects, including Plastic Oceans Foundation, Hong Kong Shark Foundation and Skeena Wild. His involvement includes the world-renowned production “A Plastic Ocean”, which was one of the most awarded documentaries in 2017 and more recently, “The Last Glaciers”, a film that highlights the global issue of climate change. Teaming up with several different individuals including the world renowned, Director and Producer Craig Leeson, Malcolm's goal is to release a set of environmental films over the next few years to highlight the many global environmental issues we are facing. Not only do they highlight key environmental issues, but the solutions that are available as well, playing an important role in individual and government environmental policy making. He has recently been selected as the first paraglider, speedflyer and film maker to join UN Environment's campaign ‘Mountain Heroes'. The team consist of a group of other famous athletes such as Canadian ice-climber Will Gadd, Austrian cyclist Michael Strasser, Kenyan Olympic skier Sabrina Simader and adventurer Ben Fogle, helping to draw attention to emerging environmental issues in mountains including climate change, waste and biodiversity loss.

In today's episode we're chatting with Charlie, Founder and Creator of Keep Gaia Wild — a beginners guide and toolkit to low-waste living. Charlie left behind the 9 to 5 grind and found herself in paradise in Costa Rica. Here, Charlie saw first hand the impact plastic and single-use waste was having. We're talking more on this PLUS quarantine life, zero-waste perspective, and so much more. I can't wait for you to meet and hear from Charlie. Enjoy!

Janaya Wilkins, who is from New Zealand, just last week, launched a kickstarter campaign for her very own eco-friendly luxury oceanwear brand called SLO active.  In this episode Janaya shares her story. She spent the first years growing up on the shores of New Zealand until she moved to London to follow her master's degree. Obviously the contrast between Castle Point and London is huge. But that didn't stop Janaya from caring for the Ocean and having the SLO active project in mind. The business that launched on Kickstarter last week is an exciting new venture that involves philantropy, eco-friendly and ethical garments, luxury swimwear and activism. In this episode we talk about social enterprises. Basically, SLO active is a social enterprise. Janaya walks us through what this involves. We talk about how she has become an expert in garment design, plastic pollution, slow fashion, compensating carbon emissions, creating cradle to cradle products and contributing to ocean-friendly charities.  It's really exciting to find out how all the pieces of the puzzle join together and the process and the time it has taken Janaya to get to where she is today. In fact, we also find out how she dared to drop her day job and spend most of her time on this exciting new business. SLO active's kickstarter campaign started last week and is still on as this podcast drops. Early birds will get special prices on the elegant and super soft swimwear designed by Janaya herself. I love the way Janaya used her former experience to freelance and bridge the financial gap between dropping the day job and going all in to SLO active. She's put her life savings into this business.  I also love the whole slow movement that is attached to this project. It is definitely something to look into if you want to support meaningful and sustainable products and practices. You can look up SLO active's kickstarter campaign on kickstarter.com. Alternatively you can go to sloactive.com where the Kickstarter campaign is on the homepage. The campaign finishes on 29 June, so it's worth making the most of the great offers before all the good deals run out! You can also follow SLO active on Instagram at slo.active.

  Martina estudió Ciencias Marinas en Australia. Hoy está haciendo un viaje de nueve meses desde Tijuana hasta la Patagonia Argentina, visitando pueblos de las costas o que habitan en zonas de río, para dar charlas de concientización sobre la basura plástica y cómo repercute en la contaminación de las aguas. Hacé clíc para Twittear: Hoy en el Episodio #57 de #emprende365 entrevisto a @martinademarcos que nos asegura que: “El 30% de la basura plástica termina en el mar”. Escuchá la charla desde acá-> http://bit.ly/2NLyYuu   Lo más importante Estudió Ciencias Marinas en Australia y en una materia opcional descubrió el problema de la basura plástica y ahí se propuso que tenía que colaborar con la difusión de la problemática para generar conciencia sobre este issue. Creó una presentación de hora media con explicaciones científicas postulando el tema, empezó a dar charlas a través de Skype y así fue que llegó con su propuesta a un legislador de Panamá quien decidió apoyarla postulando la problemática para lograr que se prohíba por ley el uso de las bolsas de plástico y obteniendo como resultado que la ley fue aprobada. Martina nos contó que estamos produciendo mucha cantidad de plástico pero no sabemos cómo gestionar esa basura plástica. El 30 % de la basura plástica termina en el mar y sólo el 2 % de los envases que usamos en envase para ser reciclado. La problemática no sólo se trata de la contaminación de las aguas, si no que esos plásticos los comen los peces y a su vez esos peces son consumidos por los humanos. Incentivar a las personas a las que lleguen para que ellos mismo se vuelvan agentes de cambio en sus propias comunidades, que tengan más herramientas y conocimientos a través de su charlas para que puedan replicarlo en más comunidades o contarlo a más personas. Libros sugeridos: Plastic Ocean de Charles Moore Película sugerida: A Plastic Ocean Podés seguir cada paso de su viaje en: Instagram y Facebook.  También podés escribirle a: martina.worldcleanup@gmail.com Acá estaba Martina mientras charlaba conmigo…     Si te gustó el programa: Suscribite al Podcast en iTunes o Spotify para enterarte cuando publico nuevos episodios.

Bonnie Monteleone and The Plastic Ocean Project Bonnie Monteleone received her GLS Masters in the Spring of 2011.  Her thesis title "The Plastic Ocean Project" looked at the compromised environment for the convenience of plastics.  A major thrust of this study addressed the question "If the North American Pacific gyre is inundated with plastics, are the other gyres?" Monteleone completed her first field study exploration in the North American gyre in July 2009 in collaboration with Bermuda Institute of Oceaninc Science (BIOS) and results from that study provides an estimate of 3,440 metric tons of micro plastic floating on the surface in the North American gyre. Currently, Monteleone works in the Chemistry Department at UNC Wilmington both as an administrator and a lab assistant working with undergraduate students studying plastic marine debris.  Her team focuses specifically on the plastic marine debris collected from the North American gyre.  These samples are measured by weight, typed using IR, and are tested for persistent organic pollutants (POPS) using Mass Spectrometry. As an outreach component, Bonnie created a conceptual art exhibit titled "What Goes Around, Comes Around" using some of the plastic debris that she collected from the open-ocean and from remote mid-ocean islands.

Captain Charles (Charlie) Moore is author of Plastic Ocean: How a Sea Captain's Chance Discovery Launched a Determined Quest to Save the Oceans, Founder of the Algalita Marine Reseach Foundation and Captain of the Oceanographic Research Vessel Alguita.   On his return voyage, Captain Moore veered from the usual sea route and saw an ocean he had never known. "Every time I came on deck to survey the horizon, I saw a soap bottle, bottle cap or a shard of plastic waste bobbing by. Here I was in the middle of the ocean and there was nowhere I could go to avoid the plastic."   Captain Moore has dedicated his time and resources to understanding and remediating the ocean's plastic load. Along with collaborators from the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project he developed protocols for monitoring marine and beach micro-plastics which are used worldwide.   Captain Moore has conducted ocean and coastal sampling for plastic fragments through more than 40,000 miles of the North Pacific Ocean, across 22 degrees of latitude and 70 degrees of longitude. His latest 10,000 mile voyage took him and his crew two-thirds of the way to Japan across the International Dateline. Captain Moore's work has been highlighted in major media outlets, including ABC's Nightline, Good Morning America, National Public Radio, and The Wall Street Journal.   His work has been published in multiple scientific journals and magazines. His book, Plastic Ocean, was published in October 2011. For more information visit: www.algalita.org
