What 45 Climate CEOs Are Teaching Me About Leadership

Today I’m sharing a conversation where the tables are turned: I was a guest on the Supercool podcast with my friend Josh Dorfman, the cofounder of climate tech startup Plantd.

We get into:

• Why I built Entrepreneurs for Impact, and what I’ve learned from working closely with 45 investor-backed CEOs.
• What climate and energy CEOs are struggling with right now, from fundraising and customers to hiring and scaling.
• Why the leadership style that gets a company started often won’t get it through the next stage.
• What I learned from moving between environmental science, private equity, entrepreneurship, and teaching at Duke and UNC.
• How 25+ years of meditation has changed the way I think about ambition, stress, leadership, and performance.

And why did I create a cartoon version of my photo for this episode? I don't really know.
