A podcast series cohosted by Mission’s founder Karina Givargisoff, and singer song writer of the UK band Texas, Sharleen Spiteri.
Our sixth episode, which was our first live recording of “My Mission is…” is a conversation between Fisher Stevens, director of award-winning climate change documentary Before the Flood (co-produced with Leonardo DiCaprio for Nat Geo) and Ethan Novek, chemical engineering student at Yale who made the Forbes 30 Under 30 in 2018 and holds 12 patents for CO2 technologies.
Both cynical and optimistic, this engaging and thought-provoking discussion between two generations, offers some insight into how the fighting spirit of individual action needs to be supported by the synergy of businesses, technological innovation, and policy all working together if we want to solve climate change. Is it possible? Who knows…but have a listen now and see for yourselves.
This fascinating panel, moderated by Mission founder, Karina Givargisoff was open to the public and features a Q&A. Hosted by Public Hotels.
