Sample Research & Writing
ZERO Newsletter
This is all about climate investment and startups, plus personal development and productivity. I curate trends and tools to help catalyze ZERO greenhouse gas emissions, ZERO pollution, ZERO species extinction, ZERO distractions from what’s most important, ZERO inefficiency, ZERO racial and gender inequity, and ZERO apathy and inaction. Are these goals realistic? Probably not. Are they worth striving for? Yep. 
Climate CEO Interviews
Through the TORCH, I interview CEOs and investors growing businesses that tackle climate change. Recent interviewees lead innovative companies such as Arcadia, Cross River Infrastructure Partners, Sofdesk, Dvinci Energy, TIST, Plantible Foods, BIOMILQ, Energicity, Rebellyous Foods, Gridium, EOS Energy Storage, Checkerspot, OneConcern, Kettle, and Dandelion Energy. My goal is to tell positive stories, in written and audio form, about world changers that are fighting the good fight, despite the all the troubling news out there.
