  • Designing Cities for the Future with Sam Assefa
    Nov 13 2023

    As we move through our cities and suburbs, we’re part of an invisible flow— the design of the urban grid itself.  As we look the future, we have an opportunity to reimagine these environments. How will the remote work revolution affect office spaces and commuting patterns? How can cities mitigate the impacts of climate change?

    Join us as we speak with Samuel Assefa, Director of the California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research, an agency that delivers guidance to state partners and local communities, with a focus on land-use and community development, climate resilience, and high-road economic development.

  • Bellwether Coffee with Grayson Caldwell
    Jul 26 2023

    Coffee— hard to imagine civil society without it. And yet, the coffee industry creates significant carbon emissions, and its markets don't provide a living income to most of the world’s farmers. If climate change continues, this farming could be unsustainable. 

    But there is another way. In this episode, we talk with Grayson Caldwell, Senior Sustainability Manager at Bellwether Coffee, a new company that has created a low-carbon footprint roasting system and an innovative marketplace for coffee beans.

    Tune in and learn how we might change the way our beloved bean is farmed, distributed, roasted, and sold.
