  • Our co-founder Cora Hilts speaks in person with Lauren Singer, Managing Partner at Overview Capital where she invests in the mitigation of methane and other super pollutants at the pre-seed and seed stages. Lauren shares her purpose of getting to the core of the climate crisis by responding to the biggest issues that often go unnoticed. Lauren is a powerhouse of knowledge when it comes to the climate crisis and aims to uplift others who are also on the forefront of creating genuine change that lasts.

    Most recently, Lauren has co-founded and become Managing Partner of Overview, where they invest in businesses mitigating methane and other super pollutants at the earliest stages.

It inspires a deeper appreciation for the Earth and a desire to protect it. To put it simply, it’s the realization that this is all we’ve got. Overview invest in companies that are creating solutions to address climate change. Their mission is to support and partner with entrepreneurs at the earliest stages who can unlock innovations that have the potential to transform industries, making our future more resilient and equitable for generations to come.

  • As we continue our Earth Month conversations, we are so pleased to bring you today’s episode on a topic that has confusion and interest in equal measures around it - that would be the EV industry. Today, Cora Hilts discusses electric cars with a man we truly admire when it comes to his approach to them - Rob Howard, founder of Kindred Motor Works. We get into all the questions we have heard around the topic, and also what makes Kindred so incredibly unique in the automotive space as they are also upcycling vintage cars.

    We all know that we need to change the way we drive. Cars and other forms of transportation are the biggest source of planet warming emissions generated within the United States and many other countries, and whilst there are a lot of concerns around the environmental impact of batteries and mining, which Rob and Cora discuss in-depth today, the science is quite clear that EVs are going to be our best option for now as we go into a green energy future.

    But this is a discussion that is about much more than just cars, however. It’s about a company that is founded on a dream and made into a reality. A company that truly values the people that work there and is creating good jobs for them. A company that sees the value of technology, but also embraces the best of the old style ways of doing things. And maybe most interesting of all to anyone in the sustainability space, a company that believes that the most ethical option is simply the best one when it comes to the product that they produce.

    Grass Roots Co-op

    Off the back of our collaboration with Zach Bush and Farmer’s Footprint, we have been speaking a lot about regenerative agriculture and healthy, nourishing food systems. Grass Roots co-op fits right into this theme with their incredibly thoughtful approach to farming. Grass Roots is a co-op of farmers in rural America practicing regenerative farming that’s better for the animals, the soil, the environment, and everyone’s health.

    One of the ranchers in the Grass Roots co-op describes her greatest title and role as “land-steward.” She’s talking about her work to help heal the ecosystem on the ranch; to foster healthy grasslands and soil that’s alive with roots and microbes continually drawing carbon out of the atmosphere. Like all Grass Roots partners, she manages the ranch based on principles of regenerative farming.

    They have also joined Land to Market, an esteemed organization that verifies raw material production for its positive ecological impacts that is bridging the gap between regeneratively farmed land and consumers.

  • Our co-founder, Cora Hilts, visits Camilla Marcus, founder of the regenerative, carbon-neutral provisions brand west~bourne, at her home in LA to chat all things regenerative food, farming, and finance. The chef, entrepreneur, activist, and mother of three challenges conventional ideas about our food systems and environmental stewardship.

    This Podcast episode is brought to you by our friends at ⁠Obakki Skincare⁠!

    Camilla brings her wisdom of a lifetime in the restaurant business and growing up in LA surrounded by sustainable living and organic eating influences. Her driven nature comes out in how she runs west~bourne as a business, and her keen understanding of what it means to finance the regenerative movement can inspire us all to consider how we can do our part. She reminds us not to forget to look into the truth of how the world is set up to favour what is easy and what has always been done and to, instead, do differently.

    Named one of Fast Company’s Most Creative People in Business, Camilla Marcus is a chef, entrepreneur, activist, and mother of three who is challenging conventional ideas about our food systems and environmental stewardship. Drawing from her Californian roots, she started west~bourne as New York City’s first zero-waste certified restaurant and has now expanded its mission of eating well and doing better into a collection of regenerative, carbon neutral provisions for the modern home.

    Committed to cross-industry innovation, Camilla’s endeavors range from championing regenerative farming to reshaping the hospitality landscape.

  • Our co-founder Cora Hilts speaks to Reverend Yearwood, President & CEO of the incredible human rights & climate organisation, Hip Hop Caucus! The goal of Hip Hop Caucus is to build a powerful and sustainable organization for the culture’s role in the civic process and empowerment of communities impacted first and worst by injustice. As a non-profit, non-partisan, multi-issue organization, Hip Hop Caucus focuses on addressing core issues impacting underserved and vulnerable communities, with programs and campaigns that support solution-driven community organizing led by today’s young leaders. Cora and Reverend Yearwood dive deep into the interactions between climate, community and politics and how faith can lead the way in supporting positive action and influence necessary change in the world.

    Rev. Lennox Yearwood Jr. is the President & CEO of Hip Hop Caucus, a minister, community activist, U.S. Air Force veteran, and one of the most influential people in Hip Hop political life. Rev Yearwood entered the world of Hip Hop Politics as the Political and Grassroots Director for the Hip Hop Summit Action Network in 2003 and 2004, and as a key architect of P. Diddy’s “Vote Or Die!” campaign in a run up to the 2004 Presidential Election.

    To carry the energy of the efforts beyond election day, he founded Hip Hop Caucus in September of 2004. The goal of Hip Hop Caucus is to build a powerful and sustainable organization for the culture’s role in the civic process and empowerment of communities impacted first and worst by injustice. As a non-profit, non-partisan, multi-issue organization, Hip Hop Caucus focuses on addressing core issues impacting underserved and vulnerable communities, with programs and campaigns that support solution-driven community organizing led by today’s young leaders.

    In 2008, Rev Yearwood led Hip Hop Caucus’ launch of Respect My Vote!, a campaign and coalition that works with Hip Hop artists to engage young people in the electoral process. Since its inception, numerous celebrity partners have joined the campaign during election cycles to reach their fan bases, including T.I., 2 Chainz, Amber Rose, Future, Keyshia Cole, Vic Mensa, Charlamagne tha God, Keke Palmer, Omar Epps, and more. The campaign has registered and mobilized tens of thousands of young voters to the polls and in 2008 set a world record of registering the most voters in one day (32,000 people across 16 U.S. cities). Respect My Vote! is the longest running hip hop oriented voter engagement program, having been active in United States elections for over 10 years.

    As a national leader and pacemaker within the Green Movement, Rev Yearwood has been successfully bridging the gap between communities of color and environmental issue advocacy. With a diverse set of celebrity allies, he has raised awareness and action in communities that are often overlooked by traditional environmental campaigns and elected officials. His innovative stance has garnered the Hip Hop Caucus support from several environmental leaders including the Sunrise Movement, League of Conservation Voters, Earthjustice, and Zero Hour.

    He has also fought on the frontlines for vulnerable communities, including at the international climate negotiations in Paris and efforts to fight new oil pipeline developments in Maryland and at Standing Rock. He has received numerous awards for his work, including being dubbed as a New Green Hero by Rolling Stone and recognized by the Obama White House as a Champion of Change.

    In 2018, he helped launch Think 100%, Hip Hop Caucus’ award-winning climate communications and activism platform. Comprised of podcast, film, music, and activism opportunities, the platform challenges environmental injustices and shares just solutions to the climate crisis, including a transition to 100% renewable energy for all.

  • Our co-founder Cora went to LA speak to Oliver English, co-director of the new environmental documentary on the future of regenerative food and farming, Feeding Tomorrow. From growing up around food with both parents working as chefs in their family run restaurant business, to becoming a chef himself and taking on the world of the restaurant industry, in a pivotal moment, Oliver found his way into his passion for discovering the source of food and making that the key element of a good dish. Exploring this passion, Oliver made his way into filmmaking, and alongside brother and co-director Simon English, he created Feeding Tomorrow, a movie that explores the question 'How can we feed the earth’s population of 8 billion people in a just, sustainable, and environmentally responsible way?'. Oliver is also the Co-Founder & CEO of Common Table Creative, his creative agency for regenerative storytelling through film.

    Food influences every part of our lives, yet our national agricultural system is going terribly wrong. From our emphasis on cattle farming and chemical fertilization to wasteful distribution, there is a direct connection between unhealthy soil and unhealthy people. Feeding Tomorrow poses one of the most important questions of our time: How can we feed the earth’s population of 8 billion people in a just, sustainable, and environmentally responsible way?

    Today in the thirteenth episode of our regenerative podcast series in collaboration with Farmer’s Footprint, we are speaking to David Leon, co-founder of Farmer’s Footprint and Biome Capital! David shines a light on the side of regenerative agriculture that we often wonder about don’t always get a full understanding of – the economics of regeneration. We are so grateful to be able to talk to David and have him help us understand the truth of how climate change and the cost of living crisis are affecting farmers and how, during these desperate and dire financial times, it is possible to take steps towards regeneration. David speaks of fascinating and debatable concepts such as placing monetary value on ecosystems and animal species in order for insurance companies and large corporations to take notice and account for them. As well as not working against but empathising with conventional farmers to turn what we already have into something positive and generative for all.

    So just a little bit more about the work of Biome Capital and David’s role there. Biome invests capital in farmland equity in a model that allows growers to acquire new land or retain both an ownership interest in their land and the ability to manage their operations with relative autonomy. They meet a grower wherever she or he is along the spectrum of transition to regenerative management, and partner in a way that is supportive but not prescriptive.

    Biome Capital Partners also invests additional capital outside the farm gate to benefit farmer partners (for example, in processing infrastructure or relevant AgTech). They seek to build regional regenerative ecosystems, and part of our investment mandate is to improve the economic and emotional health of their farmer partners and their community.

    In the tenth episode of our Regenerative Podcast Series in collaboration with Farmer’s Footprint, we speak to Todd White, founder of Dry Farm Wines! Dry Farming means instead of using artificial irrigation methods, farmers rely on natural water resources to ripen their fruit. This means the roots of the vines grow deep to find a natural water source. It is better for the planet, better for the vine, and produces nutrient rich fruit! Todd shares his journey of combining his interests of bio-hacking and luxury wines and why dry farming is undoubtedly the future of growing health-conscious wine and regenerating the earth at the same time!

    Todd White developed the Dry Farm Wines Certification for finding the purest Natural Wines on the planet.

    In the ninth episode of our Regenerative Podcast Series in collaboration with Farmer’s Footprint, we speak to husband and wife duo, Katie Forrest & Taylor Collins, founders of Force of Nature! Katie & Taylor discuss what for some might be a sensitive topic but an important one when it comes to the future of animal husbandry. Once again coming back to the soil was Katie & Taylor’s lightbulb moment when optimising their diets and when switching from being plant based to meat eaters. In this episode they give us the most clear representation of the realities of consuming meat in 2023 and why regeneration is paramount in maintaining health across all biological systems.

    Force of Nature spent the last decade studying regenerative agriculture at ranches all over the world before we answered the community’s call to launch their brand. Never before has a company founded on the principles of regenerative agriculture, curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. All Force of Nature animals are raised in environments that encourage the expression of their natural behaviors while consuming the diets that they were biologically engineered and evolved to eat.

    What Makes Force of Nature Regenerative?

    As Force of Nature says, they are leading the regenerative revolution. They are on a mission to improve our collective environment and health through regenerative agriculture while creating food raised in a way that honors the systems within Mother Nature. They care for the soil, respect diversity in plants and animals on the land, and focus on natural outcomes versus synthetic inputs – no tilling, no synthetic chemicals, no hormones or antibiotics! Their range of meat is more delicious and nutritious than anything else you can buy, including organic and traditional grass fed. From Force of Nature you’ll find meats like Elk, Venison, Wild boar, Bison and the more conventional meats like beef, chicken, and pork.

    EcoCart

    The average customer lacks access to information that could help them estimate the carbon footprint of the items they purchase, even though 4 out of 5 consumers say climate impact is a factor in who they decide to purchase with. Dane Baker and Peter Twomey recognized this missing information and created EcoCart as a solution.

    EcoCart has already empowered over 2,000 brands to embark on their climate-positive journey. Their innovative carbon-offsetting tool seamlessly integrates with ecommerce brand’s checkout pages to calculate carbon emissions, and then enables either merchants or shoppers (or both!) to pay to offset those emissions, based on the brand’s budget. EcoCart firmly believes that companies should reduce carbon emissions in addition to offsetting, and also provides brands with insightful Life Cycle Analysis to further enhance their environmental impact.

    For the seventh episode in our regenerative podcast series in collaboration with Farmer’s Footprint, I got to go to LA and speak to husband and wife duo, Christy and Aras, of Christy Dawn – a regenerative fashion line that is doing more to make their brand sustainable than almost any other line I can think of in the industry. Their commitment to a better planet and human experience is palpable and I can’t wait to share this conversation with you all, but first a quick thank you to our sponsors of today’s episode.

    This Podcast episode is brought to you by our friends at EcoCart, Vivobarefoot and Milky Oat!

    “So to Christy and Aras and the story of Christy Dawn. I was lucky enough to get to do this podcast in person at their beautiful store on Abbot Kinney in LA. Christy and Aras started the Christy Dawn line in order to help women feel beautiful and comfortable in an array of dresses that they began making locally in LA with deadstock fabrics. As the brand evolved however, they knew they could be doing more – they wanted to heal the land more than simply do no harm. This led them to a partnership with Oshadi Collective, an incredible regenerative farm in India that is growing, processing and creating some of the most sustainable fabrics on earth.

    This is a story of a couple who have put their passion and ideologies into creating something bigger than themselves, and Christy Dawn has gone from regenerating 4 acres to over 80 in the course of just a couple of years with the Farm to Closet collections. My conversation with them is incredibly honest, at some points surprising, and mostly a tale of the power of one couple to make an incredible impact on the fashion industry, but also people and the planet. Which really at the end of the day is the point of this whole series with Farmer’s Footprint! – Cora Hilts

    For the sixth episode in our regenerative podcast series in collaboration with Farmer’s Footprint, we speak to Stephen Smith, founder of Onda Wellness, the nutrient dense regenerative hemp oil line based in Oregon! Stephen talks us through his passion for hemp’s many wonderful uses and his journey from growing up surrounded by nature, to working at ranches and vineyards, to then go on to start Onda Wellness. What’s special about Onda is their Biodynamic®, regenerative and organic sourcing as well as their proprietary whole flower infusion process (no extracts) at their on-site herb lab, as opposed to outsourcing. By having this close connection, Onda is able to have ultimate control over their products which means stewarding the spirit of the plant and offering the most expressive and efficacious hemp flower oil possible for ingestible and skincare products.

    In our forth episode of our Regenerative Podcast Series in collaboration with Farmer’s Footprint, we speak to founder of Regenerative Travel and owner of Playa Viva, David Leventhal! Reframing luxury in the realm of travel, David opens our eyes to seeing regenerative tourism and hospitality as the ultimate luxury we can experience.

    Since 2019, Regenerative Travel has been at the forefront of driving the travel industry towards a regenerative future. What began as a mission to connect travelers with environmentally and socially impactful hotels has evolved into a dynamic association and marketplace. Regenerative Travel’s overarching goal is to foster collaboration and synergy among all key stakeholders in the travel industry, uniting hotels, travel agents, DMCs, and tour operators under a unified vision.

    Playa Viva was the vision of Sandra Kahn as executed by David Leventhal. Both have a background in social and environmental impact. Sandra and David were founders of Rainforest2Reef a non-profit which supported the creation of corridors for species protection in the Yucatan Peninsula and Calakmul area. R2R created one of the largest and most successful private reserves between local Ejido farmers who joined a conservation easement supported by global conservation NGOs. Regeneration principles have guided much of their work including the founding of Regenerative Travel and Regenerative Resorts to support similar independent hotel owners around the world doing great work in their local ecosystems promoting travel “Where Your Vacation Meets Your Values.”

    David shares what it’s like to be on the ever-evolving journey of building a regenerative hotel and the importance of honouring the land you’re building on. Most importantly David speaks of the impact of community, and how once we all start making sustainable choices, it creates a ripple effect spanning further than you can imagine.

    Today in the third episode of our regenerative podcast series in collaboration with Farmer’s Footprint, we talk to Lisa Wilson of Salmon Defence, Lummi Indian Business Council and Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. Through life-long dedication to her tribe, the Lummi who are the original inhabitants of Washington’s northernmost coast and southern British Columbia, Lisa has witnessed the evolution and downfall of the annual migrations of salmon which the Lummi have relied on for centuries for survival and their cultural practices. Lisa gives us a down to earth and intimate perspective of what’s it’s like to rely on the land but witness it being stripped away by salmon farming and lack of attention from governmental bodies.

    We are so delighted to welcome Alice Waters as our speaker on the second episode of our regenerative podcast series! Alice is the founder of California restaurant Chez Panisse and non-profit organisation, Edible Schoolyard and her values of sustainable food, flavour, regeneration and education runs strongly through both of them. Alice gives us a view on her upbringing being surrounded by homegrown and home cooked meals and eating as a family and how that has translated into the way she now operates Chez Panisse. Alice helps us see the connection that how caring for nature and produce can help bring us closer together at the dinner table and as a global community working together for a better, more regenerative world.

    Alice's Work:

    Chez Panisse

    Alice Waters opened her restaurant, Chez Panisse fifty years ago as a place where friends and neighbors could gather together around the table, eat good food, and exchange ideas about politics, art, and culture. In pursuit of taste, Alice and the cooks of Chez Panisse ended up at the doorsteps of the small organic farmers who were growing flavorful heirloom varieties of fruits and vegetables or raising heritage breeds of animals. Over time, the restaurant has built up a diverse network of these ethical local suppliers—ranchers, fishers, orchardists, foragers, farmers, and backyard gardeners—who practice regenerative agriculture and take care of the land.

    Edible Schoolyard

    Founded in 1995 by Alice, the Edible Schoolyard Project began as an idea to transform the food experience at a public middle school in Berkeley, California. The Edible Schoolyard Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the transformation of public education by using organic school gardens, kitchens, and cafeterias to teach both academic subjects and the values of nourishment, stewardship, and community. Edible education provides hands-on experiences that connect students to food, nature, and each other; and it systematically addresses the crises of climate change, public health, and social inequality. At its heart is a dynamic and joyful learning experience for every child.
