Today's conversation is with Jaeson Cardiff in a very exciting discussion about how they are capturing carbon through their Boiler system technology and then using that carbon in cleaning products. Overall the concept is simple but it's very exciting what they are doing and what can come next as they continue to develop their technology to be deployed on a larger scale.

I especially appreciated hearing Jaeson's experience that led him from a blue-collar background to becoming a founder of a very complex deep-science technology company that is helping advance the ClimateTech solutions.

Main Talking Points:

• Intro
• Where did the seed of your idea come from
• What is the circular economy
• How their chemical engineer works
• What they are doing
• Where is it used
• Educating people
• Changing the meaning of Green Washing
• Non-Technical business founder
• Starting out
• Customers
• Installation
• Economics / ROI
• Off-take agreements
• Partnerships
• Existing Jobs
• Managing their brand and its evolution
• Carbon in soap

Hello again!👋 Welcome to another episode. This week we are speaking with Aaron Berndt at Google Nest.
The Google Nest thermostat allows homeowners to participate in their local utility's energy demand response programs which can save or earn them money.
In this conversation, we discussed how much effect residential demand programs can have on creating a more resilient grid. We discussed the Google Nest product and its particulars and went through a number of other topics around education and regulation. We really hope you enjoy this conversation.

Hopefully, this episode will charge you up ⚡️ 🚗 🔌 ! (we do love puns). Welcome back to another episode of the show. Today we are discussing EV Charging and a lot of the topics surrounding it with Zak Lefevre CEO and Founder of ChargeLab.

Charge Lab is an EV Charging company that is primarily a software to manage EV charging in an efficient way that helps avoid large charges for breaking energy demand as well as other features to even off charging time during heavy usage. In addition, they are a marketplace for EV charging equipment.

In this conversation, we discussed many things (as usual) from regulation to EV adoption, to the future of EV charging, to education.

I hope you enjoy this episode!
