Another ClimateTech Podcast

Jonny Everett didn't want to build his own climatetech company, so he decided instead to launch Marble, a climatetech company to build 25 of them in the next five years. Does that sound crazy to you? Well, it didn't to some serious backers who have helped make this Paris-based venture studio a reality.
Jonny talks about his career, his thoughts on climatetech financing, how a venture studio works, and some of the most exciting areas Marble is investing in.

Nicole Kellner was already making a living as an artist before she even identified as one. A tech entrepreneur by background, she kept finding herself drawn (haha) to visual storytelling through art and so went all in.
With this episode she is launching her colouring book, Electrify Everything, which is an awesome way for kids and adults alike to learn about renewable energy.

Jason Goodhand is an old classmate and pal, and a fellow traveller in renewable energy before it was cool. He's been fascinated by the role energy storage has in greening the grid for as long as I've known him. These days, he's travelling the world discovering, developing, and implementing storage technologies based on hydrogen, sodium, zinc, iron, vanadium redox flow technologies. He talks about the road ahead and what he's learned as a 20+ year industry veteran.
