Sustainability and Social Entrepreneurship Podcast

My podcast consists of interviews with movers and shakers in the areas of sustainability and social entrepreneurship. This can be anyone from a Chief Sustainability Officer at a major Fortune 500 corporation to an entrepreneur that has started a non-profit around helping women in third world countries. Its people that are following their dreams and having big effects on the world.

Cover for The Future of ValueIn today’s podcast we hear a great story from Eric Lowitt about how he is following his dreams and helping move sustainability forward in the business sector. I can’t wait to get my hands on his new book “The Future of Value” when it comes out in late September.

Eric has a passion for sustainability that is unstoppable. He also has that rare set of business experience and real world school of hard knocks that makes his story great. We’ll hear what seperates his book from the others and what his clients are doing to become more sustainable.

Eric has done what so many entrepreneurs would love to do. He has taken his passion, written a book, and is now out there doing the work he loves. It is good for his customers, good for the economy and good for Eric. A true win-win-win. Best of all, he is just a great personable guy.

Please pardon the poor editing and less than perfect sound quality. I was trying some new equipment. Regardless, the content is top notch.

Rick Heede is the founder and principal of Climate Mitigation Services.

He has studied climate change since the early-1970s and has worked on energy and climate solutions since 1984. He worked with Armory Lovins at the Rocky Mountain Institute from 1984 through 2002 on issues ranging from energy policy, energy-saving office equipment, home energy measures and “Climate Neutral by 2020” for Oberlin College.

Along with his work at Climate Mitigation Services Rick is working on a book on the global risks of Antarctica’s climate-sensitive ice sheets.

Today’s podcast is a little more technical than most, but if you enjoy a detailed talk on getting climate change done, this is a good one to hear.
