Send us a textAfter last week's part 1 where I covered Protein, creatine etc.  This week I'm tackling some of today's talked-about/hyped supplements and explain why it's crucial to approach them with a healthy dose of skepticism. Promising to clarify the role of trendy options like NAD, NAD+, and NMN, Can boosting naturally declining NAD levels truly reverse aging? And should you trust wellness gurus who pivot from publishing to selling supplements with scant evidence? With non-human studies forming the backbone of much of the current research, you'll hear why investing in healthy lifestyle habits like exercise and diet might be your best bet. I also call out the pattern of wellness figures capitalizing on fleeting trends, urging you to stay informed and cautious about what's genuinely effective for your health.

So, it doesn't mean you have to be Captain Planet. It doesn't mean that you have to completely change your entire way of working. What it does mean is picking a small thing that you can work to change your habits around, and continually doing that.” - Kendon JungEpisode Timestamps(02:21) Kendon's background(08:13) Successful sustainability in Tempe(18:22) Experience in advancing sustainability outcomes(24:33) Kendon's moment of epiphany(29:52) Evoking emotion to comprise climate action(35:48) Defining circular economy within ASU(41:12) How you can lead to a more sustainable and regenerative futureLinksKendon's LinkedInPhil's LinkedInThruline Networks

This episode features a conversation between Phil Dillard, Founder of Thruline Networks, David Montgomery, a MacArthur Fellow, and Professor of Geomorphology at the University of Washington, and Anne Biklé, published science writer and public speaker. Together, they've recently published: What Your Food Ate: How to Heal Our Land and Reclaim Our Health, a book that builds on their trilogy of books about soil health, microbiomes, and farming.David is an internationally recognized geologist who studies the effects of geological processes on ecological systems and human societies. He is the author of several textbooks in his field and his work has been featured in documentary films, network and cable news, television, and radio.Anne draws on her background in biology and environmental planning to explore humanity's tangled relationship with nature through the lens of agriculture, soil, and food. Her writing has appeared in digital and print magazines, newspapers, and her work has been featured in radio and independent documentary films.In this episode, David and Anne talk about the power of regenerative gardening, the need for conventional agriculture to modernize rapidly, and address the primary issue with current agriculture: monocultures.Key Quote“Most of what feeds the world are not these big, mega farms. It's small farmers, most of whom are women. When you look at things on a global basis, it's not the North American grain farmer. I look at the incredible food waste, at least in North America, and it's like, do we really need to scale up if we're throwing 30 or 40 percent of our food away? And it's not just food we're throwing away, there was a lot of petrochemicals and a lot of agrochemicals and a lot of people's time that went into getting that kind of a yield, and we're throwing that away. That's just wasteful.” - Anne Biklé“In terms of individual consumer action, you look for the regenerative label in stores. People are starting to label food as regenerative now. A way that consumers can support that movement is to actually start eating that food, see how you like it. If you can connect with regenerative farmers at farmers markets and find out what they're doing and support them, supporting farmers who are doing the right thing by their land is a really good thing to do as a consumer. But it's not always possible to tell that when you go into a grocery store with the signals that we get of exactly how your food was sourced. And so there's also the idea of trying to exert political pressure on elected representatives.” - David MontgomeryEpisode Timestamps(02:18) David and Anne's current roles(11:48) Getting involved in their work(23:04) Collaborating with other scientists(29:46) Conventional versus modern agriculture(39:52) Addressing the problem of agriculture: monocultures(47:53) How to contribute to reforming agriculture globallyLinksDig2Grow.comPhil's LinkedInThruline Networks

This episode features a conversation between Phil Dillard, Founder of Thruline Networks, and Coco Zhang, Vice President of ESG Research at ING, a pioneer in digital banking and on the forefront being one of the most innovative banks in the world.Coco actively provides analysis and engages with stakeholders on energy transition, climate change, sustainable finance, clean technology adoption, and environmental, social and governance regulation topics. Prior to joining ING, Coco held positions with Eurasia Group, as well as United Nations agencies in New York, Geneva, and Paris.

There's a lot of good information sources for people to get more informed, but it also requires active thinking to filter out the noises that can be misinterpreted flying around the markets, but to get the essence of ESG and sustainability. On top of that, there is a great role for consumers to play as well. We might not be always incentivized to spend a premium to purchase a very sustainable product, but I think the trend is happening and a lot of the companies are indeed communicating with us to really build their brand, that puts accessibility at a center stage and as consumers we can eventually grow more of a willingness and habit to choose products in a very systematic way and ultimately live in a more systematic way. I think the demand side from consumers is something that's going to have a great impact on the economy as well.” - Coco ZhangEpisode Timestamps(02:07) Coco's role at ING(07:05) Coco's background in ESG(11:50) Recent trends in the market(19:54) ESG around the globe(27:48) Final thoughtsLinksCoco's LinkedInING WebsitePhil's LinkedInThruline Networks

As we've urbanized our society, we've been able to do that because of this greed revolution which has allowed us to centralize agriculture and lands far, far away. And the sophisticated supply chain that lets it bring us to anywhere we want in the world. Many of us can eat something from anywhere in the world. That system has led to us and both been part of us moving to cities and becoming more urbanized. And so, food and cities, agriculture and cities became separated when before that they were actually more integrated. Long story short, people don't have that connection to agriculture anymore.” - Henry Gordon SmithEpisode Timestamps(01:50) Henry's background(11:28) Agritecture's mission(25:34) The hybridization of agriculture(28:42) Vertical farming(42:33) Quick hit questions(45:34) Final thoughtsLinksHenry's LinkedInAgritecture WebsitePhil's LinkedInThruline Networks

So, you can be from any country in the world, but you can always trade and you can always talk money. And the global economic system and financial industry is a global citizen. The only, I would say, truly global citizen, because you shift the money across the borders all the time. In general, the financial industry has that sort of global touch. So, you can work in New York, Hong Kong, Japan, Frankfurt, or London, it doesn't matter.

And it's super fulfilling and exciting, but also like really crucial to impact, to be building and empowering teams, creating great culture, rolling through all of the ups and downs that you have in supporting the team through that, because by empowering a team, developing a team, developing individuals, you're able to make just such a bigger impact.

She brings to light the current talent gap in the sustainability field, the urgency of empowering people to act now, and provides a glimpse into the future of corporate social responsibility and impact.—Guest Quotes“In business practice, sustainability is good business. It's efficiency, it drives revenue based on this efficiency. It drives consumer retention, it drives employee retention. I think it's just generally good business and I imagine especially with, hopefully, policy regulations, it's going to be something that isn't just a nice to have, but a requirement for organizations. And I do see that happening, fingers crossed, hopefully sometime in the near future, which goes back to collaboration. You know, we need to have cross industry, we need to have cross sector, private, public. This isn't something we can solve climate change as a silo.” - Corey BlumenthalEpisode Timestamps(00:46) Corey's current role and background(07:24) The talent gap in sustainability(09:18) Making discussing sustainability easily digestible(14:46) Consumer responses to sustainability(16:43) The DNA of Shake Shack, it's mission and structure(25:58) Micro versus macro sustainability issues(34:04) The philosophy and cost behind eating sustainably(35:41) Unpacking sustainability(42:50) Quick hit questionsLinksCorey Blumenthal's LinkedInPhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

And, we've always taken that approach rather than saying that you have a moral obligation to do these things, but actually, guess what, If you do them and do them authentically, properly, it will be good for business. And weren't convinced by that then. They are more so now. And, I think, in the UK and probably in the States as well, increasingly, whether your custom is the consumer, private sector, public sector, they're all looking to buy goods and services from companies that have got those ethics and values.” - Jill PoetEpisode Timestamps(01:56) About the Organization for Responsible Business(04:43) Jill's background and getting into small business(09:41) Defining success in her work(24:55) Lessons learned and small businesses driving the future of business(28:29) Members and benefits of the ORB (32:52) Quick hit questionsLinksJill Poet's LinkedInORB LinkedInPhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

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 features a conversation between Phil Dillard, Founder of Thruline Networks, and Nate Miller, Innovation Systems Designer at The I Will Projects.With an educational background in the culinary arts, knowledge of aquariums, indoor farming, and building aquaponics systems, Nate has turned his expertise and passion into a career. As a mentor providing student interns with direction for innovations of new growing systems, he is concerned about the future of our planet. He believes his work may be pivotal in shifting to a more sustainable paradigm both within his local community as well as on a global scale.In this episode, Nate talks about the faults that exist within our current food system, how he defines impact through aquaponics, and the significance of the black soldier fly as a solution to waste management.—Guest Quote“The biggest thing that I noticed when I started teaching aquaponics is the lack of awareness for how food systems work. Don't tell me that tomatoes came from the grocery store. There's a lack of just general understanding of how the system works. But the system doesn't work well. The system, I mean, it works, it keeps everybody alive, but it's not really helping anything, right? It's doing more damage than it is helping. So to me, I like the fact that what we do here with aquaponics isn't so much about growing fish or growing food. It's about the in-between.” - Nate MillerEpisode Timestamps(02:14) Nate's current role(03:40) Involvement in aquaponics(05:40) Nate's background(16:45) Turning his passion into a career(23:30) Defining impact through aquaponics(28:30) The problem with our current food system(35:55) Black soldier flies as a solution to waste management(47:44) Quick hit questionsLinkswww.theiwillprojects.comPhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

As an investor, she is particularly committed to championing and extending access to the brilliant entrepreneurs who are typically underrepresented in the world of venture-backed startups.In this episode, Janice talks about bettering organizations by shaping company culture, the challenges of measuring impact in philanthropic ventures, and how to avoid the unintended consequences of well-intentioned social efforts.—Guest Quote“I invite participation in what I think are good and better ways of being. I can't make someone want to be anything other than what they want to be. But, I can invite them to be bolder versions of what they want to be and go farther. So, the first thing that I do is I try to give people permission to just be themselves, to be flawed, to be audacious. And, I'm saying this, and as it comes out it sounds so trite, but there's nothing more powerful than seeing people. There's nothing more powerful than validating that their existence is real.” - Janice FraiserEpisode Timestamps(01:59) Janice's career(07:02) Contributing to social change(09:26) Shaping culture(20:17) Driving change for organizations(30:53) Relationship to capitalism(34:47) Avoiding unintended consequences(40:50) Challenges of measuring impact (42:37) Influential figures in the space(46:13) Final thoughtsLinksJanice Fraiser's LinkedInPhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

Aaron serves the Rainey Center as special advisor, is Head of Research for Sharemeister, a co-chair for the NEXUS Working Group on Energy Innovation & Environment, and an international advisor for the Sunrise Movement.In this episode, Aaron talks about his role in forecasting geopolitical outcomes, the worrying effects of mass climate migration causing internal displacement, and how he's able to define and measure impact through systems-thinking in research.—Guest Quote“Shakespeare has this quote from one of his plays, I think it's Handler or something like that, there are three ways to achieve for greatness to happen. One is to be born great, and I think they were all born great. One is to achieve greatness, and I think we all have the potential to achieve greatness. And the third is to have greatness thrust upon us. I think that truly great people go through all of those stages, and the third one, of course, being a choice. If we are presented with a great opportunity, are we able to go and rise up to that? And I think that we can. So for me, I was taking stock of the meager amount of resources that I had and the big network that I had developed. I came to the realization that, if I did nothing, no one would do anything for me, and I just couldn't live with myself if I didn't look back and say, you know what, at the very least, I did everything that I could.” - Aaron BergerEpisode Timestamps(02:11) Aaron's role(04:00) Forecasting geopolitical outcomes(10:19) Climate change as a geopolitical challenge(13:54) Mass climate migration(19:40) Internal displacement(23:47) Systems thinking(33:16) Inspirational projects(39:09) Defining and measuring impact(45:58) Final thoughtsLinksAaron Berger's LinkedInPhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

But a farmer from Alabama talking to a farmer from Kenya is one of the most exciting conversations you can ever watch take place. And you can say Alabama to California. You can say China, talking about hog production from Iowa to Beijing. I mean, farmers, talking to farmers about those things, it's so inspiring for farmers to be able to take part in those conversations. What we did was we looked at this issue around hunger, we looked at this issue around technology sharing and education and information sharing, and we created a platform in AgWiki to help do that. That was the goal.” - Randy KrotzEpisode Timestamps(02:17) Randy's role(06:47) His industry background(10:47) Small ag versus big ag(14:17) The importance of healthy soil(19:41) Addressing hunger through AgWiki(22:20) How farmers benefit from global discussion(25:19) Developing the future of AgWiki(32:07) Activating communities to make change(39:42) Quick hitsLinksRandy Krotz's LinkedInAgWikiPhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

This episode features a conversation between Phil Dillard, Founder of Thruline Networks, and Arjita Sethi, Founder of Equally and New Founder School. Equally is a venture-backed, Silicon Valley, ed-tech company that's building a universal platform for kids to ignite their curiosity and imagination.

Since then, she's founded two successful startups and has been granted the Alien of Extraordinary Ability Visa for her work in social entrepreneurship. In 2017, her startup Equally became a semifinalist in the Global Learning Xprize sponsored by Elon Musk. Arjita also trained more than 400 women at Google's Women Tech Makers Conference in NYC, Cambridge, and Nigeria. In 2016, she got the SOCAP social entrepreneur scholarship, and in 2015, she completed her Masters in Social Entrepreneurship from Hult International Business School.

I've been part of some of the biggest movements in India, whether it was for security of girls, whether it was the anti-corruption movement. I went everywhere, and I tried to join, but I realized that making a change at a policy level is such a long process and so much is out of your control. And then I realized, wait, I can create solutions being a founder. So that fascinated me even more and I realized I'm never giving this up. So from that activism to entrepreneurship, I think it gave me more control and made me feel more powerful to see that change actually come into life. And that's how I became an entrepreneur, a founder.” - Arjita SethiEpisode Timestamps(03:18) Arjita's role(05:31) Becoming an entrepreneur(08:29) Arjita's ‘aha' moment(13:06) Defining impact(17:32) Founding New Founder School(22:51) Running an functioning organization(29:26) Building tolerance for ambiguity(36:39) Organizations that inspire Arjita(43:04) Final thoughtsLinksArjita Sethi's LinkedInNew Founder SchoolPhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

Jarie also offers up his secret to telling compelling stories crucial to scaling successful startups.—Guest Quote“You want a clear, concise and compelling message story that anyone can tell. Not just the founder, not just the C level suite, but the customer service person, the engineer, because that's how it grows. They're gonna tell their friends and they're gonna tell their friends, right? The easier it is to reproduce, the more it'll spread. The more complicated and it'll die on the vine.

This episode features a conversation between Phil Dillard, Founder of Thruline Networks, and Philip Owen, Founding Member of GeaSphere.Philip is an environmental activist and pecan farmer based in South Africa. As the Founding Member of GeaSphere, he represents a nonprofit environmental organization that has been campaigning against afforestation, deforestation and the overall forest industry for more than two decades.In this episode, Philip talks about the impactful stories that heavily influenced his career in eco-activism and the importance of organic farming and regenerative agriculture for the sustainability of the future. He also discusses the significant differences in environmental impact between afforestation and deforestation when it comes to the negative impact of timber plantations. Lastly, he provides fascinating insights into the undervalued ecological importance that grasslands hold within his own community and in environments around the globe.—Guest Quote“We need to diversify and where possible we should use the appropriate indigenous number species to be cultivated. If you want to say that you're in the forest industry then you must plant a real forest, not only one kind of tree. And a real forest also includes animals. I really think that it's vital that we re-include animals into all of these systems because there's a link between the animals and plants and sustainability, you know,  the circle of life. We know that very well. And we've managed to break that system.” - Philip OwenEpisode Timestamps(01:49) Introducing Philip(06:12) Philip's entry into eco-activism(09:01) Starting GeaSphere(19:20) Importance of grassland ecosystems(28:51) Impacts of climate change in South Africa(37:31) Competing actors and roles involved(40:42) Quick hitsLinksGeaSpherePhil Dillard's LinkedInThruline Networks

What is the 4th sector?It's an emerging sector of the economy that consists of “for-benefit” organizations versus simply “for-profit” ones.
