Hello everyone and welcome back to the CleanTechies podcast. This is our 50th episode. Hard to believe we are already at 50. ____________________________________________________ If you are a climate tech founder with specific questions you'd like us to ask -- OR -- looking for capital and strategic partner introductions, please reach out to me via the Slack Channel or LinkedIn and we are glad to help in any way we can.  ____________________________________________________Today's episode is with James Regulinski the Co-Founder of Carbon Collective. Carbon Collective is a financial services firm that helps people ensure they are achieving their financial goals, such as short-term savings or retirement, in a way that is Climate-Aligned. With Carbon Collective you will know that your money is going into places that are good for the climate and not being part of the problem. In our discussion with James we discuss, what they are doing at CC, the reasons why to invest in climate-aligned funds, financial literacy, and responsible investing, we also touched on Blockchain tech, and a lot more. Overall, great conversation with James. It's really great to see what they are doing. I was personally surprised that this is not something that is already widely adopted. It's great to have this because as we all know, the market needs to demand something for the solutions to be created. Today's conversation with James was really fun and insightful for me. I hope you'll find the same. Main Talking Points:
