    100. Closing a Chapter: Reflecting on the Purpose and Profit Podcast
    2025/01/29

    Welcome to the final episode of Purpose and Profit with Kathy Varol. Over the past four years and 100 episodes, this podcast has been a space to celebrate, uplift, and learn from business leaders who are ushering in a new era of conscious capitalism. These remarkable individuals are redefining what it means to succeed in business by bringing heart, humanity, and an inspiring sense of responsibility into everything they do.

    As we wrap up this chapter, I want to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared. Let’s revisit a few of the incredible guests who’ve inspired us along the way, and some of the most important lessons they’ve generously shared with us.

  • 99. Marilyn Waite on Her Life in the Global Climate Justice Fight

    99. Marilyn Waite on Her Life in the Global Climate Justice Fight
    2025/01/15
    Marilyn Waite leads the Climate Finance Fund. She has worked across four continents in renewable and nuclear energy, climate modeling, and investment. Author of Sustainability at Work: Careers That Make a Difference, Marilyn’s writing has been featured in the Financial Times, the Boston Globe, and Trellis (formerly GreenBiz), where she served as editor at large. Marilyn holds a Master’s Degree with distinction in Engineering for Sustainable Development from the University of Cambridge, and a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering, magna cum laude, from Princeton University. She serves on multiple boards and investment committees, including Climate First Bank. In this episode, we discuss: ● The role of established companies and start-ups in battling climate change ● What being intentional about “where your money sleeps” means ● What a JEDI lens—justice, equity, diversity, inclusion—means when investing in climate solutions Key Takeaways: ● Maslow’s Hierarchy and Climate Impact: Imagine mapping global spending against Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Right now, we can afford to focus higher up on the pyramid—on esteem and self-actualization—but climate change could drastically shift that. Depending on how climate scenarios unfold, global spending may be forced back to the basics: food, water, shelter, and safety. This raises an essential question: how do we prepare to protect those foundational needs while enabling humanity to thrive at every level of the hierarchy and ensure we do so equitably? ● Interconnected Ecosystems for Climate Solutions: Human survival is deeply intertwined with the natural ecosystems around us. We can’t thrive in isolation from the world we depend on. Solving climate change requires more than a single silver-bullet solution; it demands an ecosystem of tools and approaches—just like the ecosystems we’re working to protect. There’s a beautiful symmetry in this: to preserve the balance of nature, we must harness the collective power of diverse, interconnected solutions. ● The Role of Startups in Transforming Big Business: While large, established companies can spark change, the reality is that creating rapid, sweeping transformations within massive global organizations is incredibly challenging. This is where startups step in, bringing fresh ideas, agile solutions, and new ways of operating. Large companies can play a critical role by supporting these startups—scaling their innovations or integrating new processes. Together, they create a powerful dynamic where nimble startups help established giants move the needle on sustainability and vice versa.

  • 98. Anastasia Volkova on Decarbonizing the Agriculture Value Chain

    98. Anastasia Volkova on Decarbonizing the Agriculture Value Chain
    2025/01/01
    Dr. Anastasia Volkova is the CEO and Co-founder of Regrow Ag, a software company specializing in scalable decarbonization solutions for agriculture, using satellite imagery and proprietary biogeochemical modeling to measure and reduce scope 3 emissions on farms. Operating globally with over 100 customers—including General Mills, Nestle, Kellogg and Unilever—and monitoring 10%+ of the world’s arable land, Regrow aims to be a one-stop shop for the agriculture industry’s climate needs. Anastasia has a PhD in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Sydney. She is also a member of the Forbes Technology Council, a TEDx speaker, and the recipient of multiple awards and honors, including MIT's Innovators Under 35, BBC's 100 Women 2020, UBS Global Visionary, and Bloomberg's New Economy Catalyst. In this episode, we discuss: ● How Anastasia went from a PhD in Aerospace Engineering to focusing on agriculture ● Why some widespread agricultural practices need updating ● How to create a more resilient food system Key Takeaways: ● The Compounding Effects of Our Actions: Actions don’t exist in a vacuum—they compound over time, for better or worse. Agriculture provides a stark example of this.. Conventional practices that release significant greenhouse gases year after year contribute to climate change, creating extreme and unpredictable weather that destabilizes food production. This instability carries immense direct and indirect costs for society. The more we continue down this path, the worse it will become. On the flip side, investing in regenerative practices—while requiring upfront investments—yields compounding positive effects over time. These practices not only help mitigate climate change but also build a resilient food system that can sustain future generations. The key is zooming out to understand how the long-term impacts of today’s choices ripple far into the future. ● The Beauty of an Unscripted Journey: The most fascinating career paths are rarely linear. Anastasia’s academic and professional journey is a testament to the beauty of following your interests, even when the destination isn’t clear. Sometimes, this meandering path leads to creating something entirely new—something that didn’t exist before. Letting go of the notion that your career should follow someone else’s trajectory is liberating. Each of us is meant to carve out our own way, and as we move forward the uniqueness of our path becomes more evident. So, embrace the unexpected turns and trust that your journey will lead down the road that was meant for you. ● Transforming Tradition Through Innovation: Rice paddy cultivation has long been a symbol of timeless tradition—a picturesque image etched into collective memory. Yet, even centuries-old practices aren’t immune to the transformative power of innovation. It’s wild to think that after so many generations, there could be a better way to cultivate rice, a way that challenges the norm and improves upon it. That’s the magic of innovation: it takes what seems fixed and familiar and reimagines it, creating something better. Whether it’s rice paddies or any other deeply ingrained system, innovation reminds us that progress is always possible, and the status quo is just a starting point.
