808: Silvia Bellezza: Sustainable Marketing at Columbia Business School 36:54

17d ago36:54

36:54

Silvia created the course Sustainable Marketing at Columbia. It's an elective and has become the class at the business school with the most students from other schools at the university. In looking for a guest speaker on sustainable consumerism, she found the New York Times profile on me. She decided to invite me before realizing I'd gotten my MBA …

810: Giora Netzer, part 2: Leadership coaching leads to far more than "just" the C-Suite 41:57

7d ago41:57

41:57

In our second conversation, Giora reveals more about his developing as a leader. If you listen for it, you can hear the vision he had for himself and his profession, but also the development he needed to realize it. This podcast is about sustainability leadership. You probably envision a sustainable world, or at least trying with everything you can…

809: Alexander Clapp: Waste Wars, how we profit off polluting the world claiming to help them 58:23

9d ago58:23

58:23

I found Alex when listeners sent me an opinion piece in the New York Times he wrote, The Story You’ve Been Told About Recycling Is a Lie. Getting to where I take years to fill a load of trash means I've researched waste a lot, so based on the headline, I thought, "yeah, I've read this story before. I'll skim it so I can say I read it and then move …

807: Giora Netzer MD MSCE, part 1: A leader I coached to the C-suite 1:05:58

1M ago1:05:58

1:05:58

Are you reaching your potential, professionally or personally? Have you wondered what would happen if you got coaching? Giora did. A friend of his who was a client of mine recommended he get coaching from me. We worked together for several years. People who think my podcast is primarily about sustainability may think it's off-topic, but those who k…

806: Robert Fullilove, part 2: the spirit of the Civil Rights movement 1:25:33

2M ago1:25:33

1:25:33

Dr. Bob shares more about his experience acting during the 1960s, as well as today on helping prisoners and more. I hope you can hear the electricity I felt listening. Two kinds of electricity: one for the stories, another for how they resonated with the community, teamwork, and passion I see in the team I'm working with creating sustainability lea…

805: Osprey Orielle Lake: Founder and Executive Director of the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network (WECAN) 59:58

2M ago59:58

59:58

I was pleasantly surprised in reading Osprey's book The Story is in Our Bones that she also sees the need to change culture, including elements like our stories, role models, images, and beliefs. Focusing on cultural elements doesn't mean ignoring or leaving out measurable things like greenhouse gas emissions or plastic waste. On the contrary, focu…

804: Robert Fullilove EdD, part 1: Lessons from America's Civil Rights era and effective action today 1:20:30

2M ago1:20:30

1:20:30

People call my behavior extreme, though I'm just acting in service of others. To be more precise, I'm acting in love for others. When people suggest what I'm doing is too hard, I sometimes remark how during America's Civil Rights era, some people went to jail for different people's freedom. Nobody looks forward to going to jail, yet people did. The…

803: Nick Loris, part 3: Liberty, freedom, sustainability, and Rock Creek Park 41:57

2M ago41:57

41:57

You probably came to hear Nick's experience exploring Rock Creek Park in Washington DC based on his childhood experiences in nature with his father. Since we recorded shortly after my visit to DC, where I missed Nick but visited his friends and colleagues, and podcast guests, Jack Spencer and Travis Fisher, we talked about them. I mentioned visitin…

802: Lorraine Smith, part 2: The hidden, dirty secrets of corporate "sustainability" work 1:11:52

3M ago1:11:52

1:11:52

I start by sharing how much value I get from participating in Lorraine's weekly coaching group. Then she shares her path to coaching on sustainability. She worked in the heart of the corporate sustainability accounting and reporting. She saw it mostly did nothing and often exacerbated the situations it purported to solve. She has created a practice…

801: Travis Fisher, part 3: Restoring time with family 38:07

3M ago38:07

38:07

Meaningful interactions don't have to be complex. Travis simply shares his experiences in nature in childhood and finds ways to recreate the emotional experience today. To me the most meaningful part is the result: he expects to spend more time with his children (and dog) doing something he's meant to do a long time. It doesn't cost money. It sound…

800: Lorna Davis, part 4: After the Sustainability Leadership Workshop 1:02:20

1:02:20

If you haven't listened to my conversation with Lorna before taking the sustainability leadership workshop, I recommend listening to it first: 794: Lorna Davis, part 3: Before taking the sustainability leadership workshop. In this episode, Lorna shares her experiences, reactions, and thoughts from taking the workshop. They're all multifaceted. They…

799: Josh Bandoch, part 2: Leadership: Humans feel first, then reason 1:02:59

3M ago1:02:59

1:02:59

Josh and I talked about a few aspects of his acting on his commitment from the Spodek Method. For one thing, since he and I both study, practice, and teach leadership, we talked about the technique, how it works, how it impacted him. Since leadership involves emotion, empathy, and related social and emotional skills, we talked about the emotional j…

798: Nick Romeo: The Alternative: How to Build a Just Economy 57:13

3M ago57:13

57:13

Regular listeners and readers of my podcast and blog know I grew up with parents who helped form a grocery buying group which folded into a food co-op. Different co-ops work differently, but the general idea is that shoppers co-own the business. There's less motivation to stock doof and more to source local, fresh produce and keep money in the comm…

243: Girls in Bonnets - Our Jane Austen Journey (2024) 1:01:02

4M ago1:01:02

1:01:02

We went to the UK! This week, we talk about our trip to Edinburgh, London, and the Jane Austen Festival in Bath. We had a blast, drove on the wrong side of the road, and visited some iconic Jane Austen locations. We were also heavily inspired by our other favorite shows and movies, visiting the filming sights of Harry Potter, One Day, Outlander, Br…

797: Alden Wicker, part 2: Try and Try Again: E-biking in Vermont 39:24

4M ago39:24

39:24

Many people think sustainability requires fixing everything or else we'll collapse. The Spodek Method creates a mindset shift followed by continual improvement, not, as they might hope, a mindset shift followed by perfection. Alden has had her electronic bike in Vermont for some time but hasn't ridden it. She's used doing the Spodek Method as her e…

796: Jack Spencer, part 3: Authenticity on Acting on Sustainability (also Project 2025) 44:45

4M ago44:45

44:45

We start by talking about the internal challenges Jack felt about acting to do something he wouldn't have otherwise. He cares about the environment and lives accordingly. Still, he wouldn't have done what he committed to when we spoke. Does that mean what we would do is inauthentic? Then we talk about nuclear and other policy issues. Heritage's Pro…

795: Lorraine Smith, part 1: Leaving mainstream "sustainability" to pursue actual sustainability 1:17:35

4M ago1:17:35

1:17:35

Lorraine is one of the few people I know who saw mainstream sustainability efforts for what they are: ineffective and often counterproductive but self-congratulatory. I call most of them "stepping on the gas, thinking it's the brake, wanting congratulations." Unlike most others, once she saw their counterproductivity, if not outright lies, she left…

794: Lorna Davis, part 3: Before taking the sustainability leadership workshop 53:53

4M ago53:53

53:53

Lorna first appeared on this podcast in 2021. We became friends and remained so, though we challenge each other, as you'll hear in this conversation. We don't try to. Just things about the other annoy us. But how much we respect and learn from each other outshines that annoyance. Lorna knew about the Spodek Method and workshops for years. I don't k…

793: Nick Loris, part 1.5: Heartwarming nature, family, and fatherhood 49:47

4M ago49:47

49:47

People I talk to on the political left who care about the environment see people on the political right as opponents to defeat. When I share that I talk to people from Heritage Foundation, where Nick worked, they sound skeptical at best, more commonly incredulous and fearful. In this episode, you'll hear heartwarming stories of Nick's childhood wit…
