Today we are speaking to Brendan Wallace, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at Fifth Wall, the largest venture capital firm focused on technologies for the global real estate industry, including those which decarbonize the sector. We discuss everything from real estate’s massive impact and potential to mitigate our carbon footprint to the ways in which a lot of climate activism is theatrical.
Listen for Brendan’s take on why our spaces have the most potential to help the carbon crises. And he breaks down the transition for how to make impactful changes to save the planet. It starts with awareness, capital, and then gets down to how humans decide to dedicate their lives. Let’s dive into it!

Today we are speaking to Ari Matusiak, distinguished leader and social entrepreneur, leading the charge in promoting home electrification, confronting climate change, and tackling economic inequality. He’s the CEO and co-founder of Rewiring America, the market leading organization focused on electrifying everything in our homes, businesses and communities.
We discuss what it means to electrify our homes. Why should we do it? Where should we start? Ari shares the importance of “kitchen table decisions,” the key choices and timing that go into making a purchase that impact your home and family. In this case, decisions like choosing electric machines like water pumps, induction stoves, and heat pumps.
We also discuss Ari’s time in the Obama Administration and his role in passing the Inflation Reduction Act. Tune in for Rewiring America’s launch of the personal electrification planning tool which will help you understand how to electrify your home. Overwhelmed? Don’t worry, Ari’s first house post college ran on oil and his oil bill was more expensive than his rent. Now he’s fighting to save the world- one electric machine at a time.

In our first conversation on the Climate Rebels Podcast, we introduce ourselves and our company Rayven: Joel is one of the world's foremost experts on net zero and Head of Building Decarbonization for Google’s global real estate portfolio. Owen started his career in finance, then managed energy at a Fortune 100 company before starting multiple ventures like ZNE Capital. Chris studied law and has a deep real estate background, controlling $280 million in assets, but when Owen came to him asking about a potential partnership centered around climate change, the stars aligned.
We introduce Rayven - our new company democratizing the ability to invest in net zero real estate and how we’re integrating real estate investing with climate change. We begin to answer questions like "what does ESG mean?" "Why do we believe companies based on their future promises?" "What is Regulation A?, 506 C and B?" After we break it down, listen for our game "Fake or real ESG story of the week!"
