As we seek to save our planet from the effects of pollution and climate change, we have the opportunity to improve the planet in other ways as well. Creating a workplace where every one of us, no matter our background, feels psychologically safe is core to our mission. So states the "why" of Turntide's Diversity, Equity, Belonging, & Inclusion team. Listen in as they talk goal-setting, strategies, the importance of belonging, and how it all comes together to make a stronger company.

We had a lively discussion about No Rules Rules: Netflix and the Culture of Reinvention by Erin Meyer and Reed Hastings. Some of us loved it. Some not so much. Listen in on how we hash through new ideas and how (and what) we want to implement at Turntide.

What would inspire one to leave a successful leadership role at a highly profitable company? Learn SMC Chief Revenue Officer Carl Burrow's reasons for doing just that to join Software Motor Company. He and Paul talk scope of opportunity, personal growth, great teams, and purposeful culture, as well as the challenges inherent in scaling a startup.

In the final episode of our Board of Directors series, Paul talks with Gordon Hunter and Richard Linder - two board members with significant experience in fast-growing companies. They talk science, engineering, supply chain, getting the right message to the right customers, and doing good for the world. Behind it all is the development of a strong culture of mutual respect and teamwork and hiring people that are not only the best at what they do, but are also a good cultural fit.

SMC is not just another technology looking for a problem to solve. It is addressing a real, hugely impactful issue facing the world today - energy consumption and climate change.
