We just got back from a whirlwind tour of 3 climate-focused conferences; SOCAP19, Verge19, and RES19. In this episode, Marc and Sarah contrast and compare the three crowds and discuss patterns and trends in today’s climate-action movement. We bring up questions like…

  • Would we even call everyone at these three conferences “environmentalists”?

  • Is this even still one “movement”?

  • Are we working to save this planet, or are we working to save the ability for humans to thrive on this planet?

  • How do we make regular Joe and Jane care? (Is that even the right question?)

I HELP EARLY-STAGE STARTUPS & ENTREPRENEURS BUILD THEIR
ONLINE PRESENCE.

The early stages of your business aren’t the time to spin your wheels, polishing everything towards some goal of “perfection”. When you’re just starting out, everything’s a prototype, including your brand, your website, and your messaging.

I can help you put something out there that’s just professional enough so you can start getting valuable feedback, finding out what’s working, what’s not. Then I can help you respond, iterate, and shift, being agile and iterative as you improve your business bit by bit.
