Happy Black History Month! Welcome to Season 4, Episode 4 of the Let's Talk Social Innovation Podcast. In this episode, we interview Kyle Wyche, Chief Operating Officer of Ecotone Renewables. Kyle shares his unique journey from growing up in Wynmore, PA, to pursuing a double major at the University of Pittsburgh and ultimately finding his passion in sustainable food systems. We explore his entrepreneurial spirit, his experience building terrariums, and how these early interests led him to his current work at Ecotone. In the second part of the episode, we delve into a powerful conversation about emotional vulnerability and the experiences of Black men. Join us for an inspiring discussion about passion, purpose, and the importance of creating a more sustainable and equitable world.Kyle's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kyle-wyche?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profileEcotone Renewables: https://www.ecotonerenewables.com/
