What does it take to reinvent a legacy category for the modern consumer? In this episode, Mike Lombardo, the co-founder of better-for-you iced tea brand Halfday, shares the journey of transforming a college side hustle into a fast-growing challenger brand. Fueled by a mission to improve gut health without sacrificing flavor, Mike and his co-founder set out to reimagine iced tea for today's health-conscious consumer. Mike opens up about the brand's early missteps, and why putting flavor first became a non-negotiable product principle. He also shares how Halfday secured coveted shelf space at Whole Foods, partnered with one of New York City's most influential distributors, and how a last-minute decision to attend BevNET Live led to a major investment that helped propel the business forward. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Mike Lombardo, Co-Founder, Halfday – Mike explains the origins of the name “Halfday,” how he and his co-founder initially bootstrapped their way into Whole Foods stores and what they learned from in-store demos. He talks about why the original concept wasn't scalable and how the pandemic became a turning point in which they leaned more heavily into the products' functional benefits, low sugar content and flavor, focusing their message on “iced tea for the modern consumer.” Mike emphasizes the importance of patience and iteration, and building the right team with experienced operators. He reflects on the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, including doubts about scalability, the challenges of fundraising, and the importance of trusting the process.

Dr. Stephen Beaton is Co-founder and CEO of Circularity Fuels, which develops compact reactors that turn waste carbon streams into high-value fuels and chemicals. Rather than compete with fossil fuels from the start, Stephen identified high-purity methane for lab-grown diamonds as a beachhead market—where Circularity's product is 80–90% cheaper than incumbents while proving the core technology needed for clean liquid fuels.Stephen earned a chemistry PhD at Oxford and built deep expertise in synthetic fuels during his U.S. Air Force career, including overseeing jet fuel quality control in the Middle East and launching the Air Force's e-fuels program. His insight: build a fuels company that doesn't begin with fuel.Today, Circularity Fuels operates demonstration reactors in diamond facilities and is scaling toward biogas-to-SAF production using the same reactor platform. The company has raised $3M in venture funding, including from DCVC, plus $5M in grants from ARPA-E, NSF, and the California Energy Commission.

In this episode, my guest is Jonathan Hirschtritt, Head of Sustainability & Investment at GCM Grosvenor – a leading global alternative asset manager for more than five decades.The firm manages over $80 billion across the full spectrum of alternatives and has built one of the most comprehensive impact and sustainability investing platforms in private markets.In 2017, Grosvenor brought Jonathan in to work on strategy and operations, later moving into the role of Deputy COO. Four years later, leadership asked him to take on something very different: to formalize and build Grosvenor's sustainable and impact investing platform.The firm already had a long history with underrepresented managers and other initiatives, but this mandate meant creating a dedicated team, new frameworks, and a full reporting system from scratch.“This was a brand new area… no one really had done impact reporting or sustainable reporting compared to financial reporting.”Today, Jonathan runs Grosvenor's sustainable and impact platform – representing roughly a third of the firm's AUM. It's spread across private equity, infrastructure, credit, and real estate.It's a returns-first model, fully discretionary, but built to be customized. In fact, more than 70% of Grosvenor's capital is deployed through separate accounts designed around a client's specific objectives – whether that means climate, affordable housing, labor outcomes, or education.Jonathan makes a sharp distinction between “sustainable” and “impact,” and for him it comes down to two things: intentionality and measurement. In short, if a GP accidentally does good, that's great. But that's not impact unless it was designed that way – and unless you can prove it.What struck me in our conversation is how much of Grosvenor's model is built on customization. Every mandate begins with the client's own theory of change – whether that's climate, social infrastructure, labor outcomes, or diversity – and then the team constructs an investment program to match.Jonathan doesn't talk like a marketer. He talks like a builder. Someone who's spent years designing a platform that balances customization and scale – and believes that the future of impact is about doing the hard work behind the scenes, even when no one's watching.In our conversation, he showed how the real work starts before a dollar is invested – aligning on objectives, setting outcomes, and building them into portfolio construction.We also discussed:the challenges of data reportingthe distinctions in ESG terminologythe leverage of private capitalwhy impact only scales when it moves in lockstep with performancethe growing role of AIwhat rising energy demand might mean for infrastructure and climate strategiesTune in.—About the SRI 360° Podcast: The SRI 360° Podcast is focused exclusively on sustainable & responsible investing.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ral West discuss:The importance of measuring and tracking the right business metricsThe challenges and necessity of delegation for growthUsing automation and systems to save time and increase efficiencyIdentifying ideal clients and aligning business with long-term vision Key Takeaways:Profitability isn't guaranteed by high revenue alone; entrepreneurs must actively track expenses, understand their financial statements, and focus on the bottom line to ensure their business is truly making money rather than just looking successful.Delegation is not simply about handing off tasks but about providing clear instructions, defining the desired outcome, establishing feedback loops, and ensuring accountability so that the work supports long-term business growth without creating new inefficiencies.Leveraging automation, from bookkeeping software to AI tools that organize email, allows entrepreneurs to reclaim significant hours each week, reduce overwhelm, and free themselves to focus on higher-value activities that actually grow the business.Sustainable business growth requires entrepreneurs to deliberately define their ideal client persona, align services with long-term goals, and be disciplined enough to decline work that doesn't fit, so their time and resources are invested where they matter most.

FREE RESOURCE: Take our QUIZ and see if the SHED METABOLIC RESET PROGRAM is a good fit for you! In this conversation, Dr. Tara Rawana and Dr. Michelle Peris discuss the intricate relationship between metabolic health, willpower, and the systems necessary for achieving long-term health goals. They emphasize the limitations of willpower alone and the importance of structured eating, mindset, and community support in fostering sustainable health transformations. The discussion highlights the significance of emotional awareness and body literacy in overcoming challenges and achieving lasting success in health and wellness. Takeaways Willpower can only take you so far in health. Building systems is crucial for long-term success. Body weight is not a reliable indicator of health. Community support enhances individual health journeys. Mindset plays a key role in health transformations. Emotional challenges must be addressed for healing. Food choices should align with body needs. Sustainable health requires education and awareness. Maintenance is as important as the initial reset. Empowerment comes from understanding one's body.

Send us a textThe weight of caring for others can become unbearable when we forget to care for ourselves. This powerful conversation with Deidre Gestrin, a licensed clinical professional counselor and certified health coach, takes us deep into the reality of burnout among first responders and helping professionals.Deidre shares her profound personal journey through burnout - a harrowing experience that led her doctor to deliver the stark warning: "Your job is killing you." With remarkable candor, she reveals how her dedication to helping others in crisis led to working literally 24/7, developing physical health problems including arthritis in her mid-30s, and ultimately experiencing secondary traumatic stress so severe she couldn't tolerate family members standing behind her.The discussion illuminates the science behind burnout - how chronic stress essentially shuts down our frontal cortex, impairing judgment and decision-making abilities critical for first responders. Steve and Deidre explore why those drawn to helping professions are particularly vulnerable to burnout, and why changing jobs often fails to solve the underlying issues.What makes this episode uniquely valuable is the practical, realistic approach to recovery. Rather than offering platitudes, Deidre provides tangible strategies that work within the constraints of demanding professions. From establishing sleep hygiene routines that function even with irregular schedules to creating small, intentional habits that regulate the nervous system, listeners gain actionable tools for resilience.Perhaps most compelling is Deidre's revelation about recovery timelines - the small shifts at three months, the ability to work again at six months, but the full two years before feeling completely restored. This honest assessment serves as both warning and hope for those navigating their own burnout journeys.Connect with Deidre at abundantwellnessessentials.com to explore personalized strategies for overcoming burnout and reclaiming your purpose and wellbeing.

Do you find yourself grinding through tough projects, just waiting for them to end so you can finally enjoy life? Do you quit things often because you get bored or tired? What if sustainable high performance didn't require sacrificing your wellbeing or joy of living? This episode tackles the critical challenge many ambitious professionals face: how to achieve difficult goals without burning out. We'll explore the missing skill that separates sustainable achievers from those caught in burnout cycles. Most people don't burn out because their work is too demanding; they burn out because they never learned when to pause. Your mind and body operate as an integrated team, and when physical resources become depleted, your decision-making, emotional resilience, and perception of your work all suffer. The early warning signs of burnout appear in your thinking and emotions long before physical symptoms emerge. Through a practical step-by-step exercise, you'll learn to create your personal energy agreement—establishing clear boundaries around working hours, designing effective transition rituals between work and personal time, identifying activities that genuinely recharge you, and recognizing your unique burnout warning signs before they escalate. Download the worksheet to create your personalized framework for sustainable achievement while enjoying the journey. Remember, this isn't just about avoiding burnout—it's about creating a pattern of fulfilling growth where the process itself becomes rewarding. Share this episode with someone who might be teetering on the edge of burnout. Together, we can transform how we approach achievement and create work lives worth living.

When Oscar-nominated actor William H. Macy joined Woody Creek Distillers, it wasn't a Hollywood deal – it was a neighborhood one. Living just down the road from the founders in Woody Creek, Colorado, Bill – known for starring roles in the hit TV series “Shameless” and iconic films “Fargo” and “Boogie Nights” – became a true partner in the craft distillery, not just its face. Now, he's helping build a spirits brand rooted in authenticity, local sourcing, and uncompromising quality – all while writing songs about it and leading surprise ukulele performances at distributor events. In this episode, Bill and award-winning bartender and spirits educator Sean Kenyon discuss how Woody Creek evolved from a small-town operation into a nationally respected brand, all while staying true to its roots: crafting world-class spirits at accessible prices. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: Willam H. Macy & Sean Kenyon, Woody Creek Distillers – Ray opens the conversation by asking Bill about his collaboration with musician John Oates, before the actor shifts to recounting how his involvement with Woody Creek Distillers first began. He reflects on the early days of the partnership, including writing and performing ukulele songs inspired by the distillery during the pandemic and how it became a unique way to build stronger relationships with distributors and customers. Sean shares how he was initially drawn to Woody Creek vodka by its commitment to local sourcing and its accessible pricing. He contrasts the company sharply with other celebrity-backed spirit brands, praising Woody Creek for its authenticity and integrity. Both Bill and Sean emphasize the importance of education and storytelling in their work and discuss how Woody Creek sets itself apart via a welcoming, unpretentious approach. They also highlight some of the most surprising and rewarding aspects of their relationship with the brand and praise its emphasis on connection, community and craftsmanship.

"We want to turn cat haters into cat toleraters, and that has worked so well. Even the people who say 'I hate cats.' Okay, that's fine if you hate cats. But don't wish them dead. We're gonna work to keep them out of your yard." This episode is sponsored-in-part by Maddie's Fund and 6 Degrees of Cats. In this inspiring episode, host Stacy LeBaron welcomes Joy Smith, founder of FieldHaven Feline Center in Lincoln, California, who shares her remarkable journey from accidentally rescuing a few cats on her street to building a $1.5 million organization that has transformed entire communities. Joy's story begins in 2003 when a simple call to help with trapping led to raising kittens in her barn's tack room, selling them at a local farmer's market, and ultimately creating one of California's most innovative community cat programs. Her evolution from reluctant rescuer to strategic leader offers valuable lessons about growing sustainable, community-focused programs. Joy details FieldHaven's groundbreaking partnership with the Marysville Police Department, which began in 2018 with a goal to spay and neuter every cat in the city. She explains how they overcame initial community resistance through education, implemented a feeding ordinance to address business owner concerns, and created a comprehensive system that includes mobile spay/neuter clinics, vaccine and microchip services, and community resource centers. The program's success demonstrates how strategic thinking, community engagement, and municipal support can transform a city overrun with cats into one operating in maintenance mode with occasional weeks where they can't fill their spay/neuter quota. The conversation also explores Joy's recent transition from executive director to founder and ambassador, sharing the challenges and rewards of succession planning in animal welfare organizations. Her insights about treating nonprofits as businesses, paying competitive salaries to attract talent, and the cultural shift toward recognizing pets as family members offer valuable perspective for leaders navigating organizational growth and sustainability in today's evolving animal welfare landscape.

Keith Bearden is the CEO of Alter Eco, a sustainable chocolate company. Under his direction, Alter Eco isn't just delivering delicious chocolate and granola; it's doing so with a mission that aligns perfectly with people who are looking for better options. Keith's initiatives in regenerative farming and sustainable packaging are reaching a broad audience. Alter Eco does more than purchase from growers, they provide the plants and encourage regenerative practices, which has made a huge difference in the quality of product AND the region, as we just discussed last week with greening cities, the biodiversity makes such a difference! The trees provide some shade from the intense sun, and the lower plants keep the ground more moist for the trees - it's a beautiful symbiotic relationship where everyone benefits.Keith is very proud of the company, and talks openly about the work they do. I grabbed this from their annual Regen Report for 2024: "Regenerative agriculture has been and will continue to be a major focus for us. Our goal is to source 100% of our cacao beans and oats from farms practicing regenerative agriculture and we won't stop until we get there. We also keep an eye to ensuring everyone in our supply chain is treated fairly and receives a fair wage." He also said "We're improving the planet one chocolate bar at a time!" Don't mind if I do!

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industryEver scrolled through social media and been bombarded with workouts promising a "new body in 30 days" or muscles like military personnel after just a week of training? As your movement specialist with over four decades in the fitness industry, I'm pulling back the curtain on these enticing but problematic quick-fix solutions.The appeal is understandable—who wouldn't want rapid results with minimal time investment? These programs promise transformation through short, equipment-free workouts you can do at home. They showcase incredible before-and-after photos and testimonials that make success seem guaranteed and accessible. But there's a darker reality behind the marketing. Many of these programs set unrealistic expectations, lack sustainability, increase injury risk, and neglect the holistic approach true fitness requires. Those perfect bodies in the ads? They might be AI-generated. Those impressive results? Unlikely for most people, especially beginners.True fitness begins from within—your body needs time to adapt and strengthen before external changes become visible. Rather than jumping into an intensive 7-day program, I recommend starting with just one day weekly if you're new to fitness. Listen to your unique body; what works for a celebrity or influencer may not work for you. I need a combination of weight training, stretching, and Pilates for my body, while others thrive with just one approach. Sustainable change beats quick fixes every time. Have questions about a fitness program you're considering? Reach out to me at Cat@SmallSpacePilates.com for a free 30-minute consultation—no sales pitch, just honest guidance to help you feel good in your body. Remember, fitness isn't a 30-day challenge; it's a lifelong journey worth doing right.https://www.smallspacepilates.comSupport the show

In this thought-provoking solo episode, I share my journey of discovering the difference between tropical and true sidereal astrology, and why this matters for Human Design, Gene Keys, and our understanding of celestial influences.The Core Question:If tropical astrology is based on where celestial bodies were 2,000+ years ago rather than where they actually are in the sky today, is this system sustainable long-term?What I Explore:The precession of the equinoxes - roughly every 72 years, the position of celestial bodies shifts about 1 degree, creating almost a 30-degree difference over 2,000 yearsWhy when you read "full moon in Aquarius," it's most likely actually in Capricorn when you look at the real skyMy personal shift from tropical to true sidereal astrology and how it affected my human design workThe emotional responses people have when discovering their "sun sign" might be different than they've always believedThe Bigger Picture:I draw parallels between this astronomical reality and other areas where we've blindly followed systems that drift away from nature (like the margarine vs. butter example in nutrition). Sometimes what seems "easier" or more standardized isn't necessarily more aligned with natural reality.True sidereal astrology uses actual constellation sizes - some are huge (Virgo, Pisces) while others are small (Aries, Scorpio) - reflecting the irregularities of nature rather than the artificial 30-degree divisions of tropical astrology.My Perspective:This isn't about right vs. wrong - it's about personal resonance and what feels authentic to you. I respect that different systems work for different people, and I'm simply sharing what I've discovered resonates deeply with me after years of exploration.I wonder if our society's rush and disconnection from natural timing partly stems from following astrological systems that are always "ahead" of what's actually happening in the sky.The Invitation:Check the sky yourself using free apps. Look up where planets actually are versus where tropical astrology says they are. Make your own informed choice about what resonates with your experience.If this triggers resistance in you, that's completely normal - it may simply not be the right time for you to explore this. Trust your own timing and inner knowing.Resources:Mastering the Zodiac (Athen Chimenti's work): https://masteringthezodiac.com/midpoint-methodNYT article: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/upshot/zodiac-signs.htmlSky-viewing apps to check actual planetary positionsThis episode is perfect for anyone interested in astrology, human design, or questioning systems we've accepted without examination.Connect with Analena:https://www.instagram.com/analena.fuchs/https://analenafuchs.com/#astrology #humandesign #sidereal #genekeys
US imperialism is directly connected to hundreds of millions of people's lives throughout the world, capital accumulation and global inequality, climate change, fascism. The U.S. enforces its violent empire by maintaining almost 800 military bases around the world. Each one contaminates the soil. Occupies land. Each base contributes to the U.S. military project's status as #1 institutional polluter in the world, as it unleashes over a billion metric tons of CO2 in the atmosphere. As it destroys the built and natural environment wherever its boots touch the ground. In this episode, we engage with Jodie Evans from CODEPINK to explore the crucial relationship between war and environmental degradation. We unpack the concept of the War Economy, its devastating impacts on our planet, and discuss the urgent need for a shift towards a Peace Economy. Join us as we challenge the narratives surrounding militarism and advocate for a world where peace and sustainability coexist.

War is driven by resource extraction; without it, the push for control of fossil fuels, rare earth minerals, shipping ports and channels would not be necessary nor possible. Therefore a Peace Economy would help keep the fossil fuels in the ground and direct investment in clean and renewable energy, as well as regenerative growth in agriculture and green infrastructure that both create jobs and improve our biosphere as a place for living and thriving.

Send me a messageIn this week's episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I sit down with Sam Jenks, Chief Revenue Officer at Kodiak Hub, to explore why supplier relationship management (SRM) is no longer a “nice-to-have” but a mission-critical capability.Sam shares his journey in procurement technology and explains why traditional supplier management approaches, spreadsheets, siloed systems, tick-box compliance, are no longer fit for purpose in today's volatile, uncertain, and sustainability-driven landscape. He makes a compelling case for treating supplier relationships as strategic assets, not transactions, and shows how stronger data, collaboration, and lifecycle thinking can unlock resilience, innovation, and measurable sustainability impact.We talk about how poor quality directly undermines sustainability, why procurement must think beyond ROI to the “cost of inaction,” and how AI, particularly agentic AI, will reshape the way organisations capture insights, manage risk, and reduce emissions across complex supply bases. Sam also points out that most procurement teams still only secure a fraction of the technology they need, and offers advice on building the business case for smarter SRM.If your organisation is serious about Scope 3 emissions, resilient sourcing, or extracting real value from supplier collaboration, this conversation is for you. It's about moving past compliance checklists and building supplier partnerships that deliver long-term advantage.Tune in and discover why SRM might just be the most powerful lever in your supply chain strategy.Elevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.
