Green Innovation Is Turning Startups Into the New Powerhouses of the Clean Economy The clean economy is undergoing a dramatic transformation in 2025, and the companies driving it forward aren't the traditional giants — they're startups. Small teams with bold ideas are now reshaping energy, infrastructure, agriculture, materials, transportation, and carbon markets. This shift isn't just technological. It's financial. It's cultural. And it's structural. Investors, regulators, and consumers are aligning behind sustainability with unprecedented speed, creating a climate economy that rewards the nimble over the massive. Why Startups Are Winning in the Clean Economy Historically, clean-energy transitions required enormous capital and long development cycles. But breakthroughs in renewable energy, storage, automation, and AI have lowered costs to the point where early-stage companies can now compete with — and outperform — legacy players. 2025 offers a rare convergence of advantages: • Clean technology is cheaper and more scalable• Public policy now punishes carbon-heavy models• Consumers demand transparent, low-impact products• Investors are aggressively funding climate solutions• AI has eliminated many of the classic barriers to entry This moment favors innovation over incumbency. Sectors Experiencing Explosive Growth Energy Storage & Battery Tech New chemistries and extended-duration batteries are transforming grid reliability and enabling faster renewable adoption. Climate Software & AI Tools Companies offering carbon tracking, energy forecasting, ESG automation, and environmental modeling are in high demand. Circular Materials & Waste Innovation Low-carbon cement, recycled plastics, regenerative materials, and compostable supply chains are unlocking new industrial markets. Green Hydrogen & Industrial Decarbonization Startups are driving solutions that reduce emissions in the hardest-to-abate sectors. Carbon Removal & MRV Platforms This is one of the fastest-expanding segments as corporations seek verified pathways to net-zero. Why Investors Are Pouring Into Climate Tech Capital flows follow predictable patterns: lower risk and higher reward. Clean innovation offers both. With supportive policy frameworks, maturing technologies, and global demand for sustainability, climate investors view 2025 as the strongest entry point in a decade.

When David Lee joined PG&E in San Francisco, the company was collapsing under the weight of California's first energy crisis. “These utility veterans kind of got us into this,” the new CFO told him, handing him an unusual assignment: act as an “anti-CFO.” Lee spent his days testing every forecast and financing plan, proposing contrarian options like a preferred-equity line from KKR. The exercise, he tells us, forced him to “think independently” and learn how to guide a public company in deep trouble.That moment crystallized a pattern in Lee's career—a willingness to enter complex situations and rethink accepted wisdom. From his start at Leo Burnett Company, where he learned to “walk in the shoes of the consumer,” to his nine-year transformation tour at Del Monte and later Best Buy's celebrated “Renew Blue” turnaround, he has sought environments that reward original thought over routine expertise.Today, as global COO and CFO of Webtoon, Lee applies the same mindset to a different kind of transformation—the business of storytelling. He tells us the platform connects 24 million creators to 156 million readers each month, growing its English-language audience 19 percent year over year. Yet he draws a bright line around technology's role: “Human storytellers are the best storytellers.” AI, in his view, should fight piracy and improve discovery, not replace creativity.Across every chapter, from crisis utilities to digital comics, Lee's philosophy remains constant—progress begins when finance leaders question assumptions and listen long enough to see possibilities others overlook.

In this episode of The Green Dream, I sit down with Adam Linemann from Linemann Lawn Care & Landscaping and The Green Executive to break down what a 41% increase in landscaping sales actually looks like and why the growth isn't slowing down anytime soon. Adam and I delve into the operational and sales disciplines behind such a jump: consistent marketing throughout every season, refusing to play the “cheapest bid” game, and the systems he uses to return calls quickly, estimate accurately, and keep jobs profitable. We also talk through the real reason many contractors struggle with pricing, why bidding by the square foot is costing companies thousands, and how templates, processes, and time-based estimating remove guesswork and protect margins. We cover how to screen leads effectively, what an ideal client profile looks like in 2025, and the roles of consult fees, scheduling, and realistic timelines. Adam shares the exact workflow his team uses to get estimates out within 24 hours, how he prevents scope gaps, and why many contractors are losing money without realizing it. If you want a deeper understanding of knowing your numbers, tightening up your sales process, and building a reliable pipeline even during slow seasons, this episode delivers a straightforward look at what a well-run landscape company is doing to grow consistently year after year.

When you think about transformation in beauty, few stories are as fascinating as the one unfolding at Rodan + Fields. In this episode, Rose Hamilton, CEO of Compass Rose Ventures, sits down with Anncy Rowe, Chief Commercial Officer, who is leading the company through one of the most ambitious reinventions in the industry — evolving from a billion-dollar direct-selling brand into a modern omni-channel powerhouse. Anncy's background includes some of the most iconic names in beauty — Maybelline, Garnier, and IT Cosmetics — and she's now using that experience to bridge legacy and innovation at Rodan + Fields. What struck me most about Anncy's leadership is her ability to balance conviction and curiosity. She's fiercely protective of the brand's DNA — its female-founded roots, dermatology-driven credibility, and loyal consultant community — while introducing fresh storytelling, modern retail partnerships, and a bold "Love What You See" campaign that redefines clinical luxury for today's consumer. Here are a few highlights from our conversation: * Purpose Meets Reinvention: How Rodan + Fields is blending its heritage of women-led dermatology with a new omni-channel model that meets consumers wherever they shop — from consultants to DTC to Ulta. * Clinical Luxury, Redefined: The brand's unique formulation philosophy — "no more, no less" — and why restraint, not volume, is the most powerful form of innovation. * Storytelling with Conviction: Anncy's approach to brand transformation is rooted in founder DNA, purpose, and authenticity rather than chasing trends. * Female-Founded Advantage: How being the #1 female dermatologist-founded skincare brand is both a point of pride and a call to elevate more women in science and leadership. * Culture as the Growth Engine: Inside the company's transformation — from hiring and leadership mindset shifts to building agility, clarity, and confidence across teams. Join us in listening to this episode to hear how Anncy Rowe and the Rodan + Fields team are proving that legacy and reinvention can coexist beautifully — and that true transformation starts with purpose, people, and belief.

Today, we are delighted to welcome Lisa Gregory, the founder and CEO of Gregory Event Services. As a dynamic entrepreneur with an impressive career, Lisa understands the highs and challenges of running a business, from sleepless nights to navigating the unexpected with determination and grace. She joins us today to share her journey, insights, and lessons learned along the way. Lisa's Journey Fueled by a passion for purposeful leadership and continuous growth, Lisa built her career in the events and marketing industry. Her company initially focused on events and marketing, but is rapidly evolving into an AI-driven business. Guided by a commitment to innovation, culture, and purposeful service, Lisa has grown her global team across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. She balances strategic vision with a hands-on approach, emphasizing culture fit, skill alignment, and sustainable growth. She also founded the Event Professionals Network, a free global community connecting over 900 event professionals to share knowledge and support one another. The Power of Complementary Teams Lisa believes that a successful business requires a team with complementary skill sets rather than one entrepreneur trying to do everything alone. While many entrepreneurs struggle to delegate due to financial or ego-related fears, she stresses that sustainable growth comes from shared responsibility and clear role definitions. Her success grew from learning to focus on her strengths while trusting others to manage daily operations. Transitioning to an AI-Driven Future Lisa's company is transforming from a traditional events firm into one that actively integrates artificial intelligence. She urges professionals to embrace AI responsibly and purposefully to stay relevant. The goal is to use AI to enhance strategy, not replace human creativity or connection. Why Human Connection Still Matters While AI is revolutionizing workflows, Lisa points out that human connection remains irreplaceable. The most meaningful industry trends are toward smaller, regional events that prioritize face-to-face interaction, shared learning, and relationship building. She views this era as one where people crave authenticity, trusting personal experiences over digital marketing claims. Building a Strong Global Culture Lisa's leadership philosophy centers on culture fit as the foundation of a thriving company. The first step in her hiring process is to continuously assess alignment with company values before evaluating skills. Her employees undergo skill-based training and are carefully matched to clients based on personality and expertise. Continuous feedback and alignment calls keep everyone on track, fostering transparency and mutual respect across diverse teams and time zones. Growth Through Purposeful Leadership Lisa is committed to scaling at a pace that supports both excellence and employee well-being. Her company now includes an operations manager, a chief of staff, and an executive assistant to ensure accountability and maintain quality. She is willing to decline projects if her team cannot deliver 110% and prioritize sustainability over expansion. Elevating Customer Service Customer satisfaction is central to Lisa's business model. Her company uses NPS scores, client surveys, and monthly check-ins to assess performance. Every feedback cycle is built into the client's project schedule to ensure accountability. She views exceptional service and strong client relationships as the most powerful engines for long-term growth. Looking Ahead In the next decade, Lisa envisions stepping back from the center of her company while strengthening middle management and refining internal systems. Her ultimate goal is to remain in the experiential and production side of the business, possibly integrating AI into large-scale creative projects. She hopes to sustain a culture that balances ambition with team health, reducing burnout and promoting longevity in the events industry.

This week, Jason is joined by content creator, entrepreneur, and one of the most authentic and impactful voices in fashion, Remi Bader! From her viral realistic hauls that changed how millions think about clothing to launching her own size inclusive fashion line Edited by Remi Bader at Sam's Club, she has proven the power of authenticity and advocacy. Her collection was so successful, it expanded from a hundred stores to 200 and has continued that mission by building her own brand Fangirl. Remy has redefined what it means to merge influence with impact, showing how social media power can spark lasting change in the fashion industry. Remi Bader dives into the unconventional path that led her from PR and marketing to becoming one of the most recognizable names in fashion and content creation. She opens up about getting fired early in her career, why she initially thought fashion wasn't her space, and how creating videos during one of her lowest points unexpectedly launched her online success. Remi shares the full-circle moment of landing on Forbes 30 Under 30, how she spent all her early income on Uber and food delivery, and her resistance to being labeled an influencer. She details how UTA convinced her to go full-time into content creation, her days working as a fit model, and the whirlwind of balancing viral fame with mental health. Remi reflects on building her career completely on her own, the importance of never burning bridges, and how LinkedIn played a surprising role in her growth. She also gets candid about her collaboration with her dad (and why she'll never do business with family again), staying true to her values regardless of body size, prioritizing health, setting boundaries, and the story behind her brand, Fangirl. Remi reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!

At a moment when our country can feel deeply divided, and when progress on clean energy can feel uncertain, this month's guest — former U.S. Secretary of Energy and two-term Governor of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm — couldn't be timelier.It was the perfect moment to take stock of where we are as an industry. After years of historic progress, we're now facing growing uncertainty about what comes next. The optimism that followed the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the CHIPS and Science Act can feel harder to access — and yet gatherings like this live recording and New Dawn, our thousand-person sold-out annual party hosted the following evening, remind us how far we've come and how powerful it is when this community comes together.Special thanks to this year's New Dawn Terawatt sponsors, Silicon Valley Bank and Wilson Sonsini, for helping make gatherings like these possible.For me, this interview was personal — and a bit of a full-circle moment. I've admired Governor Granholm for years. We first met over a decade ago, when she served as a judge for one of Powerhouse's early hackathons, and even then, her conviction and optimism left a lasting impression.Her legacy in public service is one of transformation — from rebuilding Michigan's economy to reshaping the Department of Energy's role in accelerating the clean energy transition. At DOE, Granholm led an unprecedented expansion of clean energy deployment and manufacturing, rebuilding supply chains, creating jobs, and helping position the United States as a global leader in the energy transition.In a moment when federal leadership can feel disconnected from what our country truly needs for clean, abundant energy and lasting progress, Governor Granholm is a reminder of what grounded, forward-thinking, and empathetic leadership can achieve. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.About Powerhouse Innovation and Powerhouse Ventures Powerhouse Ventures backs seed stage startups developing innovative software to advance clean energy, mobility, and industry.

Eric Shiner, President of Powerhouse Arts joins the podcast to give artists the skinny on this new organization. This 170,000 square-foot nonprofit in Brooklyn's Gowanus neighborhood is fast becoming one of the most significant resources for artists in New York City. Eric walks me through Powerhouse's seven fabrication workshops (ceramics, printmaking, textiles, wood, metal, and more), their artist subsidy program that makes these resources financially accessible, and their new artist residency program. We also talk about how Powerhouse is expanding into exhibitions and performing arts with affordable ticket prices, and why they're supporting Fall of Freedom—a nationwide protest defending creative expression. If you've been struggling to find affordable fabrication space or access to specialized equipment, this conversation will give you tangible options and genuine hope.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we explore how travel can be a transformative form of self-care. Joining us is Zoa Conner, a functional wellness guide and retreat leader, who unpacks why travel isn't just a break from routine—it's a conscious tool for healing and growth. We discuss how travel influences our nervous system, how to align destinations with personal wellness goals, and why self-care is never one-size-fits-all. Zoa shares her personal journey supporting her daughter's recovery from mold illness and offers practical advice on making self-care travel accessible, intentional, and impactful. This conversation challenges common misconceptions and redefines what true self-care looks like, even on a budget. About the Guest:Zoa Conner is a physics PhD and a functional wellness expert dedicated to helping people feel better, not older. Through her retreats and 1:1 coaching, Zoa blends science and intuition to create personalized self-care plans that include the transformative power of travel. Her mission is to empower individuals to nurture their bodies and minds in ways that truly support long-term wellness. Key Takeaways: Travel can recalibrate your nervous system, offering deeper healing than a typical vacation. The best self-care travel is aligned with your current wellness needs—whether that means quiet nature escapes or vibrant city visits. Small, local trips can be just as powerful for self-care as luxury getaways. Trusting your body's signals is just as crucial as following data and trends. Redefining wellness travel helps break down privilege-based misconceptions and makes it accessible to all.

A century ago, Jeff Braverman's grandfather opened a peanut shop in Newark, New Jersey. By the early 2000s, the family business was doing $1M in sales and struggling to stay afloat. Jeff had a high-paying job in finance, but walked away from it to reinvent the business. His strategy? The internet. Something his dad and uncle knew nothing about.What happened next is wild: an AdWords experiment that blew the doors off the budding online business; a slip on national TV where Rachael Ray accidentally renamed the company; 40,000 pounds of protest peanuts that crashed servers and landed them in the New York Times; a hilariously polarizing rap jingle; and a COVID surge that tested leadership—and humanity—every single day.This is the blueprint for transforming a dusty, low-margin business into a profitable, $100M+ direct-to-consumer brand—while keeping it family-owned. It's also a masterclass in earning trust, making risky bets, and scaling without losing your soul.You'll learn:The mechanics of a paid-search playbook that 10x'd orders overnightHow to win over skeptical family members (and when to demand the keys to the store)The exploding-deal etiquette of buying a premium domainHow an improvised rap-jingle can be stickier than a professional ad How Nuts.com built a robust B2B business alongside DTCCrisis leadership lessons from the COVID floor When and how a leader should hire their replacementTimestamps:00:07:08 — Cash registers, code words, and a Newark childhood inside the peanut shop00:13:42 — The “build a website” pitch at a Jersey diner 00:29:40 — December 4, 2003: from 3 orders/day to 30 00:31:19 — Dad panics –”shut it off!”– Jeff doubles down on demand and ops00:35:26 — Losing the storefront to a hockey arena—and going all-in online00:42:29 — Jericho fans send 40,000 lbs of peanuts to CBS: press, links, and leverage00:48:38 — Rachael Ray calls them “Nuts.com” by accident… and the $700k domain deal that followed01:00:51 — The notorious Nuts.com rap jingle: how an earworm took hold01:03:11 — Offices, microbreweries, and building a sticky B2B engine01:05:08 — COVID hits: 70% call-outs, factory safety, and leading from the floor01:10:18 — Handing the reins to a new CEO: leaning into strengths, not egoThis episode was produced by Sam Paulson with music composed by Ramtin Arablouei.

He breaks down his four daily objectives, his philosophy on consistent self-improvement and small wins, and how he defines true luxury.

She'll share what boundaries and codependency truly are, how alcohol plays into disordered boundaries, the first steps you can take if you're ready to create stronger boundaries in your relationships, and why codependency is weakening your relationships with others.

This week, Jason is joined by one of the fast rising stars in Netflix's global reality universe, Harry Jowsey! After first breaking onto the scene with Netflix unscripted TV, Harry has become one of the faces of the platform with his own show “Let's Marry Harry” premiering in 2026. He was the centerpiece of Netflix's summer breakout event earlier this year where the streamer spotlighted him as one of its breakout stars. However, Harry's career goes further beyond reality TV as he breaks into acting with starring roles in Netflix's upcoming “The Wrong Paris” and “Billy Knight” where he will be opposite Al Pacino, and the horror indie film Horrified. He is also an entrepreneur launching PASH, a sustainable brand with a philanthropic mission inspired by his personal experience. Harry Jowsey is back — and this time, he's peeling back the curtain on what's changed since his last appearance in 2021. From the unique path he's carved in television to the downside of being “too good” in the industry, Harry gets candid about how he's grown, what he's learned, and how he's navigating the highs and lows of fame. He opens up about dealing with online hate and turning it into a lesson, the realities of living and working in LA's film industry, and why redefining what it means to “take a break” has been a game changer. Harry also dives into the making of Let's Marry Harry, the likelihood of a proposal, his personal goal to read daily, and where he's making the most money right now. Plus, Harry weighs in on the current state of reality TV vs. scripted work, the shows he passed on (and may regret), his experience working as an actor, joining the Unwell network with Alex Cooper, his desire to work on projects that simply make people feel good, and his unfiltered take on today's social media landscape. Harry reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
