  3. Sustainability, Curiosity, and Entrepreneurship with Luca Pandolfi, Founder of Eterna Green Energy

    Sustainability, Curiosity, and Entrepreneurship with Luca Pandolfi, Founder of Eterna Green Energy

    In this episode, I talk to Luca Pandolfi, Founder of Eterna Green Energy. He's a clean tech entrepreneur. He's also creating a transition to sustainability by working with forests, biofuels, and local economic development. Luca shares how Eterna Green Energy originated when he was in college while studying environmental science. In his studies, he noticed, from a business perspective, "that a bunch of businesses that had linear supply chains were not recapturing their finished product in any way and just either turning it into trash or releasing it in the atmosphere." Then he realized that if there’s a way to create an efficient cyclical system, it would be more profitable and environmentally sustainable. Luca then ended up doing a year of personal research with one of the professors to answer some questions specifically around the fossil fuel industry and whether they could create a cyclical system for creating transportation fuels. He also relates that the reason why he focused on fossil fuels was because it was “egregiously destroying the environment”. He wanted to create a more efficient, environmentally-friendly process. He details the process and the history of how, with the help of his engineer friend, they were able to create a renewable gasoline.  Listen to the full episode to learn more about this journey, and the many challenges that Luca Pandolfi encountered in his pursuit of doing his part to help save the environment, and also provide jobs to other people.

    Was there ever a point in your life when a traumatic experience changed the trajectory of things and made you focus on creating impact and changing the world? This episode is for you. I talk to Cam Woodsum, a social impact founder, a serial founder, and venture creator who has created eight startups through his studio Nomad Impact Ventures, from beaches all around the world. He shares about making money online, passive income, going abroad to live cheaply and getting hooked on the wandering life in Bali and the island life in Barbados. Further, he talks about how his depression in high school, and feeling invisible, made him hunger for something more in life, despite going to college, and working on startups like Doordash. He also emphasized his awareness that life is short, and what we do in this lifetime matters. In Cam’s words, he states, “I do think acting with urgency is one of the most important things in my life where just thinking about how short life is.” Cam also reveals how he made money online by selling Allbirds shoes on eBay, the rise and fall of his Instagram venture when the algorithm changed, and how he was able to have sustainable income in content writing.

    Financing Regenerative Agriculture with Robyn O'Brien

    I talk to Robyn O’Brien, a serial food founder, speaker, systems thinker, and an insightful builder of a more regenerative and just food system and we discuss systemic change, the importance of farming and farmers being at the front and center of development and financial security, and the impact of food to the health of the next generation.  She also shares that the food in the 21st century is making people sick and so she has advocated for real food and has become a Real Food evangelist. Robyn also delves into the problem that farmers face, which she happened to share in her TEDx Talk in 2011. She talks about farmers “taking out an increasingly high level of debt, to finance the purchase of genetically-engineered seeds and finance the purchase of the chemicals required to grow them.” Further, she focuses on the multinational companies who have the power to coordinate with farmers and create sustainable plans and develop practices that benefit the farmers, the multinational companies, and the consumers.
