Wait...I thought you guys were startup guys? Why are you talking now about climate change? Well, here’s the story….Startup super geek and marketplace expert, Ty Wolfe Jones, loves talking to entrepreneurs who are big thinkers, people making dents in the Earth. And award-winning marketer & biophiliac, Jakub Kubicka, well, he was tired! Of 77 episodes of the podcast, The Daily Marketer. So Ty posed a question: if you could talk about anything, what would it be about? The answer: climate change! But, we’re not experts in climate….We love startups, entrepreneurship, marketing, operations, etc. So, could we bring that to this big topic? That led to a crazy idea & hypothesis: like startups making huge profits through innovation, people innovating to help the planet should also profit. Join us, 2 startup junkies, talking to amazing entrepreneurs and operators about their climate startups and together we’ll test this hypothesis: can you help the planet, while making it rain dollar signs?
