    Sesame Solar: The All-In One Solution to De-Carbonized Disaster Relief

    What happens when disaster strikes, a hurricane or fire, and communities are left stranded without power, water, or basic medical needs? Generally we rely on shipping in fuel to power generators, but that's not always an option, and certainly an imperfect one- burning the same fossil fuels which helped propogate the disaster in the first place. Sesame Solar has a solution. Today CEO and co-founder Lauren Flanagan joins us today to discuss her all in one solution for a mobile disaster relief unit powered by, you guessed it, solar. But that's not all Lauren brings to the table. From a lifetime of working in tech, she shares with us the teachings from working alongside none other than Steve Jobs.

    When we last spoke to Sanchali Pal she was the CEO of Juro. Today, Juro is called Commons, and she has $10,000,000 reasons to be more optimistic about the future of personal carbon accountability. Commons is an app that allows you to track your credit card spend and then offset your carbon footprint, a simple and elegant means of self-accountability. They've also partnered with pre-vetted businesses to offer more sustainable options to the products you purchase regularly. Since we last spoke with Sanchali she's raised a Series A round from Sequoia Capital, the founders of Afterpay and the one and only Jay-Z. We dig into how she was able to achieve that milestone and what's in the store for the future of Commons.

    Hedgehog: Using Europe as a Roadmap to Predict the Future of US Corporate Climatism

    Europe has long been more aggressive in how it deploys legislation and regulatory agency to push for a more climate positive future from large corporate interests. Still with me? Great, you'll love this episode. Joost Walterbos is a dear friend, accomplished climate entrepreneur, wildly chill guy, and possessor of great foresight when it comes to translating the transformation we're seeing in Europe to future action in the US. His firm, Hedgehog, works with companies large and small based both in the US and Europe, so he has a uniquely broad perspective in how climate is finding its way onto balance sheets and into five year plans.

    ePlant: Using AI to Speak to Trees... Literally.

    It's morning, you walk into your backyard, stroll over to the Maple by the fence, and have a conversation about the weather. That, my friends, is exactly how the team at ePlant imagines your day will start, and sooner than you think. On today's episode we sit down with ePlant.bio founder and CEO Graham Hine about the company he's built that allows us to, literally, commune with nature. Combining a custom built sensor that can measure tree growth, precipitation, humidity, and more, with cutting edge AI that leverage large language models, Graham and his team have built a means of bridging the gap between humans and nature through natural, everyday conversation. This was a wild, fascinating, thought provoking and inspiring conversation, hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
