The Dying Project

Dave Cooch is a social entrepreneur, Forbes 30 Under 30 Class of 2019, and one of the co-founders of Green Gas Movement, which partners with gas stations to make it easy for people to offset their fuel each time by doing some kind of green action with the click of a button.

The biggest theme of our chat is diving into the root of what’s underneath this crisis we find ourselves in and why we need a new story when it comes to climate change. I bounce around all over the place about plant medicines and personal growth, but Dave kept us on track with how beneficial meditation can be and what we can actually do right now to bring about the changes that we need to see.

This week on Sustainable League I chat with Lila Smith #SayThingsBetter Creator, Intentional Communication Speaker & Trainer, and Certified YouMap® Coach. Intentional communication is FUNDAMENTAL when it comes to building a more resilient world, from how we discuss problems and solutions, to how companies work on these issues, internally, externally, and in our very own personal lives. 

I love this episode for many reasons, but most pertinent to strangers who don’t already love her. I have been a client of Lila’s and she helped me work through some of the most pivotal make or break times within my own company.

If you or your company are interested in learning how to 'say things better', chat with Lila!

Charles Barber is the founder and CEO of Crucial Four, a Dallas based company that is ushering in the return of food as medicine with a mission to help you enhance your health and well-being with essential nutrients. Charles traveled the world and from his experiences found what he believed to be the four missing food groups. Thus upon his return, Crucial Four was born. We dive deeper into these four missing food groups, discuss some unpopular opinions relating to the food and healthcare industry, and a bit about why the world would be a much better place if we started treating the Earth like a living thing versus the economic commodity that giant industries and consumers alike have allowed it to become.

All of this before founding Hustlers Villa, a co-working, co-living, community geared towards like minded entrepreneurs. 

We talk about all of these undertakings plus his newest project, Reconnect which is a sustainable, luxury retreat on an island off of Indonesia and how he started it with zero background in sustainability.
