With October around the corner, expect a series of episodes packed with insights from industry leaders who are disrupting norms and paving new pathways towards sustainability.
Star-Studded Guest Lineup
This month’s guests include top execs from heavy-hitting firms like Cisco, Corning, Hanger, and Cargill. Toss in real estate titan Bob Knakal, and you’ve got an all-star lineup that’s hard to ignore. Each guest will share their unique take on how innovation intersects with impact, spotlighting efforts that resonate through their industries. You’ll find fresh ideas and actionable stories that don't just preach but also demonstrate how sustainable practices can be implemented at scale.
A Diverse Array of Perspectives
Let’s talk breadth: Alaska Airlines, Accenture, Wendy’s, UPS—these companies represent a wide swath of sectors coming together under one umbrella of change. The discussion doesn’t just cater to environmental aspects but extends to social impact as well. You’re not just hearing fluff; you’re tapping into the grit behind how these organizations strive for better practices amid constant scrutiny from consumers.
Insights from Past Episodes
For those late to the party, past episodes have featured an impressive roster including figures from Mastercard, Fresh Del Monte, Bimbo Bakeries USA, and Verizon—just to name a few. Each episode pulls back the curtain on how these brands tackle sustainability head-on while managing traditional business pressures.

A recurring theme throughout the podcast is storytelling—the art of weaving personal experiences into broader narratives around corporate responsibility. When leaders share their journeys candidly, they not only illustrate what sustainability looks like in action but also inspire individuals within those organizations—and beyond—to think critically about their contributions toward societal goals.
