We’re joined today by Brittany Peet, the Director of Captive Animal Law Enforcement division for the PETA Foundation. We are talking all about captive animals: the current status of captive animals in America, where regulation needs to go, and also all things Tiger King! This conversation was heavily inspired by Netflix’s Tiger King, a docu-series focusing on exotic animal zookeepers and breeders. Brittany was featured in Tiger King speaking about captive animal law, the animal abuse allegations brought against Joe Exotic, and the Big Cat Public Safety Act. She works in behalf of animals who are held captive in roadside zoos, circuses, and aquariums and has personally overseen the rescues of hundreds of animals from roadside zoos. We speak about cub petting, how to tell the difference between a true sanctuary and a pseudo-sanctuary, and gaps in federal regulation. Brittany peels back the curtain and tells us more about some scenes and characters in Tiger King, like Carole Baskin’s Big Cat Rescue and who the PETA Foundation has lawsuits currently pending against. We close off the conversation talking about exotic animals in entertainment, stemming from the photo of Doc Antle behind Britney Spears’ 2001 MTV VMAs performance.

We’re joined by Julia Pyper: one of my very favorite journalists, podcast hosts, and all-around incredible women in energy! Julia and I discuss the energy industry as a whole, and the impacts of coronavirus on sectors like oil and gas (and even talk about the policy proposals for a domestic oil sector). We discuss energy polic and how a clean energy economy could be more supported. Switching gears, we discuss inclusivity in energy and environmental spheres, and the injustices surrounding climate change, health, and minority communities.
Julia is a contributing editor at Greentech Media where she covers the global clean energy transition, with a focus on renewable energy, electric mobility, grid edge technologies, and energy policy making. She is a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, as well as the host and producer of Political Climate, a bipartisan podcast on energy and environmental issues in America and around the world, presented by the University of Southern California Schwarzenegger Institute. Find Julia on Twitter here. Bio via Atlantic Council.

We’re chatting today with Daniella Monet: actress, singer, animal rights advocate and big time supporter of plant-based businesses.

We converse openly about her dedication to investing in plant-based businesses, from her first stocks to her now full-on involvement in uplifting the vegan economy. She is heavily involved in Kinder Beauty, Sugar Taco, Outstanding Foods, Mo4Paws, and most recently, Bridget. Daniella shares her simple philosophy for decision making, both as a consumer and an investor: be a voice for the voiceless.
