Podcast appearances and mentions of tom chi

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we look at how to unlock financial flows for nature and transform heavy polluting industries into environmentally friendly ones.  We hear how the nature finance landscape is evolving from Dr. Carter Ingram, Managing Director at nature and climate change investment and advisory firm Pollination Group. She says that despite growing interest and investments in nature-based solutions, significant gaps remain.   Part of the solution is understanding “the degree to which changes in your dependencies or impacts on nature can have a financial impact on your business or on the economy," Carter says.  We also talk with Tom Chi, Founding Partner of At One Ventures, a venture capital firm based in San Franscisco. The firm is investing in a world where humanity becomes a net positive to nature, which Tom says requires rewriting how entire industries work.  "The industries that have been damaging our relationship to nature are the same ones for the last 50 years," Tom tells us on the sidelines of the GreenFin conference. "It is time for us to go back to that and actually do the hard work again. ... We've got to do the industries different foundationally."   Listen to our interview with Paul Bodnar, Director of Sustainable Finance, Industry and Diplomacy at the Bezos Earth Fund, here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/podcasts/bezos-earth-fund-director-on-how-to-drive-climate-nature-action   Learn more about S&P Global Sustainable1's Nature & Biodiversity Risk dataset here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/solutions/nature   Read S&P Global Sustainable1 research "How the world's largest companies depend on nature and biodiversity" here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/how-the-world-s-largest-companies-depend-on-nature-and-biodiversity   GreenBiz Group hosts the GreenFin conference and S&P Global Sustainable1 is a sponsor.   This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.       Copyright ©2024 by S&P Global      DISCLAIMER      By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

Welcome to this episode of Hardware to Save a Planet. Our guest today is Tom Chi, Founding Partner of At One Ventures, a VC with the mission to invest in companies that work towards a world where humanity has a positive impact on nature. Tom's background includes being an astrophysicist and electrical engineer, developing products at Microsoft and Yahoo, and working as a founding member of Google X. Tom's background in technology and his personal experience witnessing the death of a coral reef in Hawaii have instilled in him a deep sense of urgency to address climate change. We discuss the slow pace of progress, the challenges of scaling companies, and the need for innovative solutions in venture capital. Tom not only highlights the importance of mass transfer in carbon sequestration and the limitations of closed-loop plastics recycling but also stresses the power of collaboration and utilizing diverse skills to accelerate progress. He is optimistic about the future, and his optimism is contagious.

On this episode, Nate is joined by inventor and investor Tom Chi to take a broad look at the principles guiding innovation and capital - and how we might shift these to be more biophysically aligned in the future. For the past few centuries, our global industrial system has been dominated by growth-based economics without awareness of its dependence on the biosphere - or the waste that it leaves behind. What would it mean for our technology to be ecologically centered, working in service of and in synergy with complex, biodiverse life on Earth? How can we work within our current financial and governance systems to create initiatives that benefit both ecosystems and economies? More broadly, what cultural shifts could we imagine that move beyond seeing ourselves as simply dependent on ecological systems - but rather as a part of the entangled whole?  About Tom Chi Tom Chi is the founding partner of At One Ventures, which backs early-stage (Seed, Series A) companies using disruptive deep tech to upend the unit economics of established industries while dramatically reducing their planetary footprint. Previously, Tom was a founding member of Google X where he led the teams that created self-driving cars, deep learning artificial intelligence, wearable augmented reality and internet connectivity expansion.

This week, we're doing something a bit different outside of our typical interview format. This is a recap of New York Climate Week. I'll share some of my impressions and you'll hear from folks like Vice President Al Gore, California Senator Henry Stern, several friends, and fellow climate travelers. You'll hear some segments from sessions I attended and sometimes it might sound like you're actually there in a room full of people. If you hear an occasional cough or something, try to just think of it as getting closer to the experience of being there without any risk of coming home with COVID.Over 75,000 people kicked off the week by taking to the streets for the Climate March on September 17th. Over the ensuing week, thousands of people from around the world joined over 585 official Climate Week sessions and likely as many unofficial ones. I kicked off the week in a somewhat surreal way. I work for a company called NationSwell. We're an executive membership network and advisory that helps sustainability and other leaders take on bigger bets and be more successful. We were invited to bring some NationSwell members like Michael Komori, Chief Sustainability Officer of Starbucks, and joined Al Gore and other climate leaders in ringing the NASDAQ bell on Monday morning – which felt like a fitting start, as a question on everyone's minds is: “If capitalism is up for the challenge, will corporations lead the transformation needed to cut emissions?”In today's episode, we're hearing from:[1:34] Adam Lake, Climate Week NYC Lead of the Climate Group[2:34] Bonnie Gurry, Co-Founder of GreenPortfolio[5:15] Alex Wright Gladstein, Founder of Sphere[6:48] Nyla Mabro, New York Chapter of New Energy Nexus[7:18] Tom Chi, Founder of At One Ventures[8:54] Kirsten Snow Spalding, VP of the Investor Network at Ceres[10:45] Former US Vice President Al Gore[19:29] VP Al Gore on Climate TRACE[12:59] VP Al Gore on the state of climate progress[20:56] Katie Rae, CEO & Manager Partner of The Engine[22:51] Jeff Johnson, Managing Partner of Temasek[24:03] Clay Dumas, Founding Partner of Lowercarbon Capital[25:44] Clay Dumas on the unique opportunity for climate founders today[27:06] Ian Samuels, Founder & Managing Partner of New System Ventures[28:09] Colin le Duc, Founding Partner of Generation Investment Management[33:43] Dr. Vanessa Chan, Chief Commercialization Officer for the US Department of Energy and Director of the

Tom shares how a coral reef led to the genesis of At One Ventures launch, defines what “Net Positive” investing means within the current climate tech landscape, outlines At One's physics fundamentals approach (matter, time, energy, and space) to screening deep tech innovation that in-turn has the potential to upend the unit economics of established industries, and describes why he is more focused on the aforementioned unit economic analysis ahead of traditional founder archetype and team dynamics heuristics when making investment decisions.

Hello members and subscribers! The eleventh Moonshots Master episode is here and we are diving into Entrepreneurship and Rapid Prototyping!!Rapidly getting us into the mindset of trying and testing, we start with Walt Disney as he discusses how to use prototyping to find success. We then hear from the genius of Dyson, Sir James Dyson, who reflects on how the journey to innovation takes time. We are fully inspired after hearing Tom Wujec's breakdown on how digital and physical methods of building products are uniting into the Future of Making.Now we're ready to prototype, let's learn from Whittlesea Tech School as they help inform what makes a prototype different to a product, and a description of what exactly a prototype is. We revisit Sir James Dyson again, as he speaks on the importance of prototypes to prove your technology works, as well as how to embrace and track failures.In our final chapter we dig into the Sprint process with Jake Knapp, who breaks down how to begin prototyping with your team today. We also hear from Angus Deveson from Maker's Muse as he discusses how to create and build physical prototypes that you should test to failure. We end our deep dive into rapid prototyping with the superstar himself, Tom Chi, who relives a story on iterating and stress testing any business model, and how it is the true essence of entrepreneurship.★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Tom Chi's list of accolades - much like his work - stretches from here to outer space: Co-founder of Google X where he helped develop Google Glass & self-driving cars, he's launched things into space, built award-winning robots, worked on the development of Microsoft Outlook and Yahoo Search, has released over 20 albums as a musician, and even released a comic strip.  He began his career at 15 as an astrophysical researcher…immediately after getting rejected for a job at Burger King.   Tom has pioneered a unique approach to rapid prototyping and now speaks and teaches the fundamentals of learning versus knowing, related to how inventors and creators think.  He's literally the best speaker I've ever heard and you're about to hear why!    After 5 years of trying, I'm thrilled to finally interview Tom Chi on The YES Effect show.  In this episode, you'll learn:   Why Tom was given the name “Tom” in grade one, because he didn't actually know his name after his parents immigrated from Taiwan. Why Tom believes school doesn't necessarily teach practical thinking The inventor mindset Tom Chi developed as a child The difference between practical thinking and abstract thinking Why knowing things as a noun prevents us from noticing and learning their nuances How Tom uses a fork to explain how things are nuanced  How Tom uses rapid prototyping to help people problem solve Why our brains struggle to know and learn at the same time How we're able to learn more as a child than as an adult Why our culture of determining winners and losers prevents us from pursuing genius Why getting stuck in a perception usually means that perception is wrong How creators and inventors think How the joy of learning creates an environment to invent and create   Quotables: “Part of the reason people don't invent things and create things is they very quickly come to judgment on what things are.” “We get so allied with abstract concepts and ideologies that we stop noticing what the actual world is like.” “If your perception is stuck for a long time, it's probably not a correct perception because everything in the universe is in some process of change.” “If you think about the way a kid learns, there isn't a lot of justification required before they try something new.” “Anybody learning anything is going to be bad at it for a while. We take something that's a natural part of the learning process and heighten it into some kind of problem.” “What I'm trying to do in my work is dig into what types of cognition serve us and allow us to continue to learn and create a great education for ourselves. Not in the ‘I went to Harvard and got a 4.0' kind of thing. But the ways of thinking that allow us to invent, create and how to be in the world.” Links mentioned in this episode:   Join The YES Effect Inner Circle Facebook Group for a behind the scenes experience about what it means to Believe, Belong and Become!

Deep dive on the role of technology in helping to solve the world's greatest environmental questions-and a passionate argument for the impact of social entrepreneurship. Tom gives an overview of At One Ventures investments and key technologies that the fund has supported, with a particular focus on tree planting technologies. As well as discussing specific technologies and market applications, Tom shares his views on the dangers of increasing penetration of technologies in our lives and reflects on techno utopian approach to the environment associated with Silicon Valley. Tom also shares his concerns how we as a society have prioritized economy over society and environment: A fascinating, spirited discussion. Tom Chi is founder At One Ventures a climate-focused VC fund investing in companies creating environmentally positive technology.  At One Ventures, a climate-focused VC fund investing in companies creating environmentally positive technology.  Before founding At One Ventures, Tom was Head of Experience and founding member of Google X who helped scale the company from six people to 600. His engineering and business background coupled with a passion for environmental sustainability inspired him to start a VC fund dedicated to improving planetary health.

In this episode, Tom and Amrit talk about the importance of humanity becoming a net positive to nature for a better future, diving deep into a wide range of concepts about humanity, the economy, the environment, and the future. Tom Chi, M.S. & B.S. in Electrical Engineering, is an inventor, leader, coach, speaker, investor and technologist. He is the founding partner at At One Ventures, a company dedicated to find, fund, and grow teams to catalyze a world where humanity is a net positive to nature. He coaches corporate executives and top investors, strengthens social entrepreneurship and gives talks and workshops to unlock mindsets.Today's industries are net negative for humanity, and Tom advocates for transformational shifts. Humanity needs to become net positive to nature. This means regenerate and restore damage taking action not as scientists but as engineers.Physics teaches you how to understand the physical world, and the type of understanding that allows you to be structured to create something new is useful for lots of things, including asking big questions about why we make what we make.Designing something has an intention to it. Tom calls design a frozen intention; when you interact with it you unfreeze the intention of the designer. Technology happens because of decisions we make. If it grows faster than we can get used to, it is because we have decided it should. The key is to make those decisions with good intentions.We have spent most of the 20th century figuring out how to strip mine the physical resources of the planet and we are spending the 21st century strip mining the cognitive resources of the planet. Social media is one of the cases; attention is stripped from you and your attention is a finite resource just like minerals in the ground.Many people say economics is a science but it isn't, it is a designed discipline. People that have been in charge of designing it have done a terrible job because they treat it as a science. In science there is foundational truth, in a designed discipline there isn't. We have made foundational errors too, allowing those people to talk about their discipline as a science. Capitalism is a tool just like a hammer and no tool must be worshiped. There is a big responsibility in how we use a tool well. In consequence, Tom looks for disruptive technologies that have both radically better unit economics and environmental economics so that he can work toward a world where humanity is in a positive nature. We can remodel the industrial economy but we can also destroy nature with capitalism; it all depends on how you use this tool. Chi believes we do it because we systematically have chosen to be “dumb”, that means we got sold the narratives of a social categorisation in which we decide which social group people belong to: 'us' or 'them' . We can choose to think differently. If the vast majority of life on the planet is cooperative, we must be too. We are all interconnected with each other and the universe at large.Level up your life with unlimited access to every Mindvalley Quest Program (over 30+ programs). All Yours.

I am excited to introduce today’s Extraordinary Women Radio guest, Kate Maloney – the producer of the Movie and the Movement – We Rise Up. We Rise Up premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and brings together some of the most brilliant, accomplished & high-impact leaders of our day. It’s about redefining a new model of success to uplift & empower people to live radically fulfilled, purpose driven lives. You’re going to learn more about it in today’s interview, but first, let me tell you how I met Kate. Five years ago I said yes to a conference on the spur of moment knowing that I was meant to be there. That decision forever changed my business and my life. We had to apply to attend this conference – as the speaker list was stellar: the CEO of Whole Foods, John Mackey, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Michael Bernard Beckwith, Lynne Twist , Ken Wilbur, Blake Mycoskie – the CEO of Toms Shoes, Allanis Morsette, Michael Franti, Tom Chi – the creator of Google Glass, Jack Canfield… and many, many more. The lineup was incredible. The message was powerful. "It’s time to redefine what success means." The woman who directed and produced this conference was Kate Maloney, and I knew the moment I met her that she was a woman I needed to know more. Kate is a visionary… a movement maker and a woman with a passion for changing the way we looked at success! Over the course of the 4 days that I spent at conference, I was inspired to #RaiseUP how I was showing up the world. It’s where the seeds of my Extraordinary Women Connect & Extraordinary Women Ignite events were planted. It’s where the seeds of the podcast first gave birth. Shortly after, I wrote my own purpose statement that said… “I want to help 1 million women step into their passion and purpose and make the impact that they desire in the world." Kate had seeds planted at this conference as well, although as she shares in our interview today – the vision would come to her very organically in the years that followed… A movie… a movement… We Rise Up – because our world needs us. Kate did a premier showing of We Rise Up at the Sundance Film Festival and also in Boulder this year. The official launch of We Rise Up will be this Fall… and I am thrilled to share that we’re going to have a private showing of We Rise Up at my Extraordinary Women Connect event November 7, 8 and 9th in Golden Colorado and that Kate will be joining us as one of our keynote speakers. "Business is perhaps the most profound change agent on the planet. It's a powerful force." ~Kate Maloney In our interview today, Kate shares more about the We Rise Up movement and how it came to be. You will be inspired… be sure to go out to the We Rise Up The Movie on their Facebook page or on their Web Site. Facebook page and join in the conversation. Then join us in November at Ignite and apply some of Kate’s magic to your world. Kate Maloney Show Notes Let’s meet Kate Maloney – the producer and founder of We Rise Up – the Movie and the Movement.

"Perfection gives you the sensibility that there is an end point. Mastery is the deep understanding that there is no end point."

This episode is with Ziynet Boz, who recently got a job at the University of Florida as an Assistant Professor. Her expertise is on sustainable packaging and she is also a full bright scholar. Ziynet brings a lot of insight into the sustainable packaging realm and teaches me about what type of packaging is truly sustainable, and how you can find more about it online. We also revisit the topic of lifecycle analysis, something in which I feel is becoming a bigger and bigger topic. Last week, at Expo West's Climate Day, I learned the opportunities in the packaging problem. 47% of waste we produce is actually consumer packages. Not only that, but our rate of using these packages are exponentially rising up! Though we see many companies clean up the plastics in our ocean, because we are producing packaging so fast, it won’t even matter how much trash we try to clean up! With this, the speaker Tom Chi, presents us so many opportunities to solve this problem. From alternative packaging material to reducing. It’s definitively something to look into in the future. In this podcast, we just show you a little about the potential of sustainable packaging. Shownotes Sustainable Packaging Behavioral Analysis How do I know if a package is sustainable? : There are a lot of misconceptions with sustainable Greenwashing – companies just paint their package green Life Cycle Analysis Consumers have the ability to research sustainable packaging Plastic is more sustainable and less energy than glass B-Pack – Startup that uses reusable packaging for e-commerce Google Scholar– Write LCA food packaging and you can find food packaging. You can also find the material as well. If you use a package twice, it can improve the sustainability of packaging. It’s really ahrd to recycle plastic single-use bags California banned single-use plastic bags Modified Atmosphere Packaging In Turkey, we have Food Engineer Fullbright Scholarship – Choose 60 people who want to study in the US.

Descubre una de las ideas más poderosas que puedes aprender. De forma directa, concreta y fácil de explicar entenderás cómo todo y todos estamos conectados en el Universo. Esta es la historia de un niño genio que desde temprana edad decidió entender cómo funcionaba todo el universo. Es fascinación lo llevó a su primer trabajo a los 15 años, haciendo investigación de astrofísica con el observatorio Harvard-Smithsonian. Poco a poco fue saliendo de ese mundo para co-fundar proyectos como Google X e inventar Google Glass. Estoy hablando de Tom Chi, uno de mis científicos favoritos. Eventualmente, Tom entró al mundo de estudiar a las personas, y se encontró que en realidad era un mundo más difícil de entender que todo el universo. En este proceso de ser un tecnólogo, inventor y empresario aprendió mucho sobre las personas y encontró que pocos pueden explicar de forma práctica cómo nos relacionamos los unos con los otros. Mediante 3 historias vamos a analizar cómo todo está conectado.

Meatcasters! This week we talk to former Google exec Tom Chi, about how he went from working on virtual reality glasses and self-driving cars to using soil, trees, and oceans to tackle climate change.  Tom helped lead GoogleX, Google's ‘big idea moonshot factory'.  When you're leading ambitious projects with such grandiose ideas, it actually makes a ton of sense to spend the rest of your life working with companies to tackle a problem as complex as climate change!  I'll admit I was a little nervous before this conversation because I knew, fundamentally there were some places Tom and I would disagree. But I also knew that could facilitate better discussion and I wasn't disappointed. Tom and I discuss His time leading GoogleX and his approach to rapid prototyping to develop innovation quickly and with little resources How taking his silicon valley approach to the environment can be both helpful and harmful Why he's choosing to support both Regenerative Agriculture and ‘lab-grown meat' when many would argue they're in conflict with one another His investments in the health of soil, trees, and water and why he believes those three pillars are our keys to reversing climate change. For this week's INSIDE EPIC, we hear from two more Whole30'ers! First up is Sydney, who illustrates how critical it is to get and have a good support system for your first Whole30, and she also tells us how how she got her parents to try out their first Whole30!  [44:40] Next up is Ingianni!  She shares how her first Whole30 helped her cure the eczema that had been plaguing her for most of her life!  As a fellow eczema sufferer, who cured it after getting nutritionally ‘woke', this conversation really hit home for me.  Especially when I found out, the source of her eczema, turned out to be a Whole30 compliant food! We also talk about the challenge of adopting something like Whole30 when food plays such a critical role in your family's culture.
