Money, money, money. We are gonna talk about where to invest your money to maximize GROWTH, and discuss whether we have to choose between protecting the environment or growing the economy. (Spoiler: We don't). Our guest Lisa Veliz Waweru is a well travelled global citizen who is passionate about sustainability. Lisa is the Co-Founder of Women in Climate Tech, and also the Customer Success Lead at The Climate Service. Lisa will tell us all about sustainable investments, why they are the future (or now...) of investments, why they are the secret to making you rich (No, it's not oil and gas. Get ahead of curve folks!), how to assess climate risks, and fancy jargons like ESG. Dive in!

James Dong is a ridiculously eloquent sustainability entrepreneur based in San Francisco. He is formerly a Management Consultant at Bain & Company, and now the founder of Last Minute Gear (www.lastmingear.com) - an equipment rental startup who is trying to get customers to NOT BUY (counterintuitive? 🤔). James is a firm believer of degrowth, and addressing existing problems with existing solutions.

Ex-Google Engineers, now founders of Work on Climate, Cassandra Xia & Eugene Kirpichov, explain why they left Google to tackle climate change and found Work On Climate (workonclimate.org). Their story is not only inspiring and uplifting for all of us who want to take action before it's too late, but it's one grounded in hard work, perseverance, and unyielding conviction in a mission larger than life.  

- Cassandra's *ahem* very interesting *ahem* hobbies and hidden talents 😉😉

Today I'm doing something VERY DIFFERENT. I've brought onto the show one of my closest friends, and also my ex-roommate Alysa Teves for an intimate, personal conversation on our adult friendship, the crazy story of how we met, what it's like to live together, and more importantly, Alysa will reflect back on her past relationship, and discuss how she was able to heal from past trauma and move onto the next chapter in her life. Get ready because we are gonna get real personal and drop life/love advice and truth bombs, and by the way, you will likely not see another episode like this. So be sure to tune in! Peas!

We have our FIRST GUEST ever 🥳 - my incredibly funny, multitalented philosopher friend, fitness coach, martial artist, fight scene choreographer and entrepreneur Ajay Ramnarine. (Geez... what has he not tried?!)

Ajay will share with us his personal journey and career as a fitness trainer, and what it's like growing up in an Indo-Trinidadian immigrant family in Toronto. The core of the discussion will revolve around his pivotal two-month religious retreat at an ashram in Trinidad, and his takeaways from the experience - reaching enlightenment, letting go of one's ego,  making peace with oneself and nature, and ALSO how to lose weight faster! Enjoy! 😁  

P.S. Special shoutout to Michelle. You know who you are ;)
