We are bringing some serious conservative star power this week, as we welcome this week's guest and former United States Senator Dr. Bill Frist (R-TN). Dr. Frist is the former GOP Senate Majority Leader and was a nationally-acclaimed heart and lung transplant surgeon before serving in the U.S. Senate. 

The current Chair of the Global Board of The Nature Conservancy, Dr. Frist is now engaged in the public health crisis as it relates to climate change. He is highlighting the increasing threat of vector-borne diseases like malaria and Lyme disease due to climate change and a personal connection as well as emphasizing the need for the public to consider how climate change impacts various aspects of human health, including respiratory diseases, heart conditions, and mental well-being. 

You can find out more at Dr. Frist's website or subscribe to his Substack called "A Second Opinion."

Paint entrepreneur Patrick Hughes explains the chemical and toxic makeup of paint.

While at EarthX this past spring in Dallas, Texas, host Chelsea Henderson met several interesting people, including this week's guest Patrick Hughes. Hughes has worked in the paint industry for over 40 years, but it was less than ten years ago that he educated himself on the harmful chemicals in paint, which can cause harm to those who breathe their fumes. 

This sparked a mission to educate developers, builders, large-scale entities using paint on a commercial scale (as well as educating everyday people) in hopes of disrupting the paint industry, causing it to evolve into one that embraces non-toxic properties. Catch this interview with Patrick Hughes and learn more about bio-based paints and more!
