  • Great Show

    Love this show! The conversations are thoughtful, insightful and despite a background in environmental science and sustainability I learn so much every episode. My only issue is that Josh’s audio needs to be tweaked. Guests voices are always loud and clear but Josh’s voice is hard to hear - like you’re using your laptop mic and 4 ft from it. Fix that please, but otherwise keep these coming!

  • Forest products

    I enjoy the thoughtful podcast on the Sterling company and the mention of regenerative forestry. There is a professional certificate in sustainable forestry , and industry standard that makes sure forests will be there for generations to come. The professionals and the forest companies that qualify for this are doing reliable work for the economy and for the environment. Look for “sustainable forestry “ products.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Renters Delight: How One of America's Largest Property Owners Cuts Energy Costs
Q: What does the split incentive mean for investments in energy efficiency, and how do you evaluate ROI?
Investments often benefit residents directly via lower utility costs, but the owner bears most of the upfront capital and may only realize a fraction of the financial return. Equity Residential weighs resident satisfaction and retention alongside direct cost savings, and underwrites solutions that deliver demonstrable, scalable value across thousands of units.
Renters Delight: How One of America's Largest Property Owners Cuts Energy Costs
Q: How do you engage with new vendors or climate tech startups to become a fit for Equity Residential?
Start with a clear hook that shows the technology solves a real, persistent problem in multifamily housing and demonstrates understanding of building operations and owner-operator constraints, including the split incentive. Longer conversations come when a vendor can prove a practical path to scale within hundreds of properties and align with resident and investor value.
How to Burp a Cow: Hoofprint Biome Makes More Milk, Less Methane
Q: Tell us a little bit about your background, Kathryn.
Kathryn explains her animal science background, NC State PhD, and how she and her co-founder transitioned from purely academic work to commercializing biology-driven solutions that improve both farm economics and climate outcomes.
The Largest Private Recycling Company in America Just Showed Up
Q: How did Circular Services become the largest privately held recycling company in the United States?
By stealthily acquiring regional recycling and composting assets, then publicly consolidating them into a national platform that could win major municipal contracts and monetize recycled materials.
The Missing Renewable: Wave Power Comes Ashore
Q: What markets and customers are you targeting for first deployments, and how do you plan to scale beyond initial projects?
Initial farms in Portugal and Scotland demonstrate bankability, followed by a path to 100+ MW scale using a dense array of buoys and offshore grid connections, while engaging utilities, developers, and data centers as core customer groups.
