  • Smart and digestible

    This pod takes a challenging and complex subject matter and breaks it down in a very engaging, understandable way. Jay is able to connect with some extremely knowledgeable and qualified guests and meet them where they’re at, offering a new element to the climate finance puzzle with each episode. After hearing one more recent episode for the first time, I went back to the beginning to get the full context of what they’re doing and really enjoyed the journey. Keep up the great work!

  • We need more like this

    As someone whose work centers extensively around carbon markets, I find this podcast to be extremely well produced, insightful, and enlightening. Mr. Tipton's obvious knowledge on global warming and the climate crisis coupled with a host of expert guests leaves me waiting excitedly for each new episode, and it is especially refreshing to hear about these topics from a financial and market standpoint, subjects which are oft brushed over or forgotten in the climate change discussion.
