In this Convo of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Brian Thurston, an environmental entrepreneur, currently serving as a Sustainability Solutions Sales Director at APTIM, an environmental solutions firm. He's also worked as a Senior Advisor for multiple companies and nonprofits in the environmental sector, focusing on business development and strategic partnerships. His background is in business development and consulting – utilizing innovation and technology to build multi-disciplinary networks to attack big problems at scale.He and Ted discuss his background, born in Torrance, CA, raised in Manhattan Beach, and still lives in the South Bay area in Hermosa Beach. He shares that he grew up at the beach and in the ocean surfing, which is how he wound up in the environmental field. Being eco-conscious was ingrained in the ethos of growing up where he did, participating in beach clean ups, and very much aware of the deterioration of water quality. He attended Long Beach State to play volleyball, and then transferred to the University of Southern California to study American Literature.  Between his undergraduate degree and graduate degree, he worked in the film and event planning industries. He then decided to shift to a career in the environmental sector, attending graduate school in Washington DC at Johns Hopkins via their hybrid program, studying environmental science policy and sustainability. He and Ted met when he worked at EcoMedia, where he was hired to be a Program Director, developing and managing public/private partnerships. He then worked for Waste Management as a national business development manager, where he focused on customized and scalable programs for Waste Management's Fortune 500 customers, leveraging internal assets and technology. Brian then moved on to consulting with climate tech companies. He and Ted discuss some recent ventures, including the Bluebox energy efficient HVAC solution, Hytch Rewards mobility app, Oceanworks recycled plastic solution, and being a board member of Sustainable Surf. Working with all of these mission-driven companies that tackle big problems, Brian believes that the concept that the environment and profit are at odds is a myth, and that creativity and innovation prove that every day!

For this episode and the foreseeable future, we're experimenting with a new podcast format, less linear, less binary, more conversational, informal, improvisational. We intend to focus on issues both of the moment and bigger picture, longer term, all related somehow to sustainable cities, this podcast's soul's purpose. We'll still do more conventional episodes, with special guests, but will also mix it up with our alternative format. To help on this new leg of our podcast journey, we have an additional cohost, Devon Bertram, in lieu of a guest. Devon's an old friend and OG in the sustainable built environment field, about 20 years worth. She's the VP of Sustainability Consulting at Stok, where she advises clients on how to define, develop, implement, and manage sustainability programs and standards for their building portfolios that align with their corporate brand, values, and purpose.  Appropriately, given our new format, we figured we'd focus this episode on the topic of the “new work,” work from home, hybrid, return to the office and other matters, like essential workers – hospital staff, janitors, sanitation workers, police -- who, no matter what the office plan du jour, have to show up somewhere in physical form. There are no alternatives.  And what about climate change and the huge impact our commuter patterns have on GHG emissions? Transportation is now the largest source of carbon emission in the US, bigger than the energy sector, or buildings. It therefore stands to reason, and climate science, that reducing our vehicle miles traveled to and from work (the overwhelming majority of which are by automobile, not trains or buses, let alone electric ones powered by a clean grid) ought to be a priority climate mitigation strategy. It isn't.  And will office/commercial real estate owners and brokers sit idly by as they watch their tenants opt-out and their office parks wither? We're delighted to welcome Devon and to jump into our new format. We hope you enjoy it.

Huck Midekke is a Wilderness Guide and Survival Instructor based in Eastern Finland. Huck is the founder of NordicByNature which provides wilderness guide services, sustainability consulting, and survival workshops around the world, as well, he is Chairman of the International Wilderness Guide Association. Huck's latest endeavour is the establishment of Nomad Town/ Resilience Hub, an off-grid, minimalist, mobile, community that lies on the outskirts of Joensuu, Finland. We discuss much theory and philosophy of survival and it's importance connect with nature in our anthropocentric world. Huck also introduces us to some methods of wilderness survival practice like the S.T.O.P method, the 6 Survival priorities, the 8 Shields Model and the practice of the #FullMoonFullStop which he suggests to use in daily life. I think we might be exploring some new frontiers here in the world of podcasting, at least on this show because our guest Huck is joining us from a sauna in Northern Finland. Enjoy!
