    Confessions of a Podfader

    Confessions of a Podfader

    I developed this weird cough and my throat was hurting if I talked for more than a couple of minutes. Couple that with a state of environmental depression and a feeling of not being able to make a difference - and podfading for over a year made sense. Now, more than ever, having the conversation about creating a more sustainable way of life, is important. Let me know if you want to be part of this conversation

    Buiding a Homestead with Aircrete

    Buiding a Homestead with Aircrete

    Mike, a disabled Veteran, is building a Homestead in the South after losing his home due to his injuries.
    He used recycled building materials like pallets to build immediate shelters for his extended family.
    Eventually, he is planning on building weatherproof dome houses with Aircrete blocks. In this episode, Mike explains what Aircrete is, how it is made, and why he feels it is a superior building material.
     
    He is in need of a tractor to work the 12 acres of land and to build the homes. You can help by supporting his Go Gund Me Campaign.

    Sustainable Fashion

    Sustainable Fashion

    Garik is the founder of Eco-Stylist, a stylishly curated collection of eco-conscious menswear. 3 years ago he quit his corporate job to start chasing his fears, with his long-term dream of starting a social venture.
    Fear chasing lead him to the University of Iowa where he pursued an MBA and got the chance to push against many fears, including practicing public speaking, taking an acting class, and rock climbing. This May he completed the MBA, but instead of pursuing full-time work, he took the leap and led Eco-Stylist through the startup accelerator at the University of Iowa, and is now bootstrapping the company fulltime from Iowa City, IA.
    He helps men find clothes that look good and make a positive impact, while also sharing knowledge about sustainable buying habits, recycling your clothes, and much more.

    The Plan for 2019

    The Plan for 2019

    Marianne takes a look at where we have been and where we are going.
    Health, life circumstances and more slowed down the regular schedule a bit in 2018.
    The promise for 2019 is to publish at least one podcast a month - but it might be a lot more than that.
    The formats will vary but the goal will always be to bring you interesting and useful information.
