If a company, for example, is exposed to coal, should portfolio managers divest or is an active engagement strategy preferable to push co... |
And certainly as these forces reach a tipping point and environmental pressures become, the environmental crisis becomes so critical as we're seeing. But even if the company is in a field where the human rights issues are so germane, those things are going to be clearly rationally related. If you're in a crisis managem... |
The market is certainly trying. But we need standards to be clear and widely adopted, hence the moves by the SEC and the EU, as well as the accounting profession, which has formed an international sustainability standard board, are so welcome. MIT did an analysis of market ratings aptly titled Aggregate Confusion, whic... |

Definitely. And that's why I emphasized before I used that word average a lot, right? The average carbon grid intensity in the US. So Norway, Switzerland, France, also because of nuclear power, which is unproblematic, at least from a greenhouse gas perspective. New York State, too, interestingly, has quite a low grid c... |
Could you discuss some of the benefits and drawbacks from an LCA perspective of, and this is maybe more consumer focused, of a used or pre-owned vehicle versus the purchase of an electric vehicle given that the battery manufacturing processes have large impacts, is the benefit significant enough for an electric vehicle... |

So I started working with a venture capital firm called Hatsume Most Libby. They're based out of New York and I still work with them today. So going on about seven years, which is really crazy to have such an incredible partnership. And they opened my eyes to the world of impact investing and impact growth strategy, wh... |
And like sort And what was the catalyst for it? Sure. So when I moved to Australia in 2019, I wanted to get closer to the ocean because I didn't have the chance to really do that when I was living in New York. New York was very much about working in the city and being part of the city experiences, which occasionally we... |
And then now today, since completing Divemaster, while we're on this expedition, we're working quite a bit on other specialty courses like altitude diving and ice diving, cave and cavern diving, hopefully soon. But to answer the question of where are some of my favorite places to dive, it really is so hard to answer th... |
So this is the rock and the hard place because to your point, on one hand hand tourism is so helpful to some of these coastal communities and just communities in general that we visited but on the other hand getting there traveling to these certain destinations especially when they're quite remote what that experience ... |
And these sea nomads, the Moken people have historically for 4,000 years traversed up and down Thailand and Myanmar water living off of the sea on houseboats. And there was a tsunami that hit Thailand and that tsunami then forced the Moken people to become land-based by government order. And so they were no longer allo... |
So we do not write in the same capacity as a journalist would. We are very much on growth strategy, content creation, design. And the reason why we put that forward is we work with the local communities and the teams that we meet to tell their story from their lens. So we are not coming in and reporting from a journali... |
That's not realistic. And again, it's similar to stop eating fish. That's not realistic. These are things that not everyone can do. There's things that not are realistic within our societal frameworks. So if we're going to do it, we just need to, again, really focus on the planning of it, where we're going, who we're s... |

And you are interviewed extensively on environmental topics, whether it be from policy to disasters to green solutions. And let me tell you, if you don't know what you're talking about, the entire world will know. So you have to be well-read and really be able to project that confidence within your presentations as wel... |
And the closer you can get to the community is the more crystal clear it becomes, you know. Yeah, I completely agree with you. And yeah, even within our own backyard, there is a lot of suffering going on. And yeah, especially within California too, the droughts are heavy. And it was even shocking that rainwater harvest... |
But ultimately, with the advent, and also we're on the precipice of one of the largest wealth transfer in the history of humanity with values driven as it relates to their purchasing power. So I think these couple of sort of shifts are positive indicators when it comes to sustainability and social impact or, you know, ... |
You know, when I first started this work, that's the day of the year where we've used up all of Earth's resources in a sustainable manner, right? And every year it gets earlier and earlier in the calendar year because we're not evolving rapidly enough to really use our resources in a mindful way that's sustainable for ... |
That companies made by 2025, they would be recyclable, compostable, refillable. All packaging would be da-da-da. Well, guess what? There's not a lot of suppliers out there. When they made those commitments, there weren't a ton of suppliers out there that could help them achieve those goals. And so we do, it does take t... |
But within these companies that are especially huge, that have those resources and the revenue already, they hold such great influence as well. And that's what always makes me so angry where they have so much power where they can influence so many other companies, domestic or abroad, to do the same. But it is nice to h... |

So I think the issues that you've mentioned, but this can only come if there's also a structural rethink. So essentially, this reaction to this type of challenge could alter supply chains and trade in the longer term in a positive way. Do I have that right? Is that what you're suggesting?
