    #12 Listening w Madame Gandhi

    #12 Listening w Madame Gandhi

    Listening is a beautiful hack for learning, having empathy, and being present.

    We are honored and blessed to have Madame Gandhi as our guest for this episode. Madame Gandhi is a talented producer and musician whose Music takes the listener on a journey of liberation and beats. Her path has led her to be on the Forbes list of 30 Under 30 in Music, and her 2020 TED Talk about conscious music consumption has reached millions worldwide. It was a joy to have Madame Gandhi in the studio as she offered a genuinely unique and poignant perspective on our hack of the episode listening.

    Madame Gandhi led us through a 3-minute meditation that we placed at the beginning of the episode for any listeners who wish to revisit it.

    #11 The Eco Set

    #11 The Eco Set

    What do Insomniac events, the HBO show VEEP and the local elementary school play all have in common? They all use salvaged materials from Eco Set. You can find a ‘set’ at the theater, in commercials, tv shows, movies, events, and festivals. Our special guest Kris Barberg, of Eco Set and Materials Oasis, shared hacks and inspiration around how to create a more eco-friendly set. She also shares some great stories about some epic props.

    We hope this episode helps people in production, large and small, find solutions from creation to tare down to redirect, divert and reuse their sets.

    #10 Bonus Episode with Sofia Ratchovic

    #10 Bonus Episode with Sofia Ratchovic

    For each episode in season 2, we are offering our subscribers a bonus episode. We ask our guests the same three questions and see what the conversation brings up.

    For hack #10, Events, we interview our own host Sofia Ratcovich.

    #10 Events

    #10 Events

    This episode will help anyone planning an event for up to 200 guests to reach a goal of diverting at least 80% of waste from going to a landfill. It will focus on small steps to make an event more sustainable behind the scenes. The key is in the planning phase. Take the time to know how many are attending, what materials for decor can be reused after the event, and how guests receive and consume food and drinks. These three steps seem easy, but they will take some planning.

    Listen to this episode to hear stories from Sofia (host) as she shares ten years of experience as a Zero Waste event consultant. We are back with Season 2! Kicking this season off, Michelle interviews Sofia to get tips on making your next event more Zero Waste. Not only is Sofia the host of this podcast, but also a ZERO WASTE event consultant. She has seen it all and sorted through the worst of post-event trash.

Worth a listen

Loved the hacks. Learned so much. For those that feel they talk too much, maybe try on a drive or work out. The guests offer some great information.

Can’t wait for season two!!!!
