    Great content
    I have been listening to MCJ Capital series. There is lot of great discussions where interesting themes are discussed. Very educational and inspirational.
  • The OGG
    Interesting and inspiring
    Love the way Jason and company approach all their interviews with curiosity and a drive to really understand how things work and how a given solution can contribute to combating climate change.
  • longboy4
    Episode with Epoch Biodesign
    Loved the episode on Epoch Biodesign, such an interesting company and the founder seems like such a great guy.
  • MATOSORE
    Fantastic
    MCJ is absolutely amazing it has changed how I live to some extent, how I understand climate change for sure and what I want to do next in my career also. If every human being knew what you know when listening to this show, GHG would probably drop mechanically by a few gigatons. Thank you Jason and team. You are incredible and an inspiration to do something to combat climate change.
  • Tee Darkwood
    Need a episode weekly like I need a paycheck
    I enjoy hearing this information each episode. I have recently become passionate about the goals in fighting climate change.

    Pushes neoliberal tech “solutions” for the climate crisis
    Barf just what we need another tech elite pushing neoliberal “solutions” for the climate crisis. Just give land back to Indigenous people and hold companies accountable dude.
  • pcothenet
    Probably the best show to get started on concrete climate solutions
    An amazing way to build a curriculum around climate change solutions. Jason is a very compelling host and a great interviewer. The guests are varied (policy, technology, non-profits, investing) and I’ve learned something new in every single episode.

    Incredible Podcast and Community
    I’m an entrepreneur making my way into climate work, and this podcast (and the Slack community around it) has been the greatest boon to my learning process. I can’t recommend highly enough.
  • yillish
    Great podcast
    Great podcast on climate innovation and entrepreneurship
  • Kangenkangen
    CEO
    Inspiring, informative conversations that raise our expectations expand our horizons and call each of us to take constructive action!

    Great way to ramp up on climate
    Jason is a successful tech entrepreneur who decided to devote his time and talents to the climate fight. But how? He set out to interview a wide variety of folks already in the climate arena to help answer this question. Through this podcast we can listen in on these conversations and learn alongside Jason. A tremendous resource for anyone looking to get up to speed on the climate “sector.” It’s relatively heavy on the investor / tech / business perspective.

    Fantastic podcast, looking at the top people and organizations working on climate solutions.
  • Joel AH
    Top notch climate podcast
    Jason has guests at the top of the climate impact game. If you want to know what’s going on in climate and what’s coming—and how to get involved to make the biggest change—listen to this pod.
  • Bitnibbler
    Truly excellent for those aspiring to make a difference
    Jason has a wonderful and broad set of guests ranging from entrepreneurs to investors to policy makers and economists. All focused on a journey to discover the practical big things that can be done to make a difference.
  • leepnet
    Best way to learn about climate fast
    Jason’s podcast is the best way to quickly learn about the climate crisis. He interviews a variety of guests from startups, funds, non-profits and other organizations who are deep experts. If you want to learn about climate, this is the place to start.
  • adamaflynn
    Awesome podcast!
    This podcast is great for anyone trying to wrap their head around climate change. It’s a big, complex topic covering a huge range of disciplines with a mix of serious institutional inertia and fast-moving changes in science, technology, finance, policy, and public opinion. It's daunting for a newcomer to make sense of, but critically-important that the best minds from all sorts of backgrounds come together to work on this problem. These interviews are a fantastic supplement to books for anyone trying to get involved. His guests provide depth in their specific areas of focus that can serve as jumping off points for more research and add nuance (or contrarian views) to the material available in the books that try to discuss the big pieces of this problem from 30,000 ft. It’s been extremely helpful to my own climate journey. Thanks Jason!
  • PistachioLaura
    It’s everyone’s job.
    The reality is that responding to the climate crisis is literally everyone’s job, no matter what field you are in. Billions of dollars and thousands of lives are already being lost and the longer we all wait on the sidelines, the worse it’s going to be. Following Jason’s journey through the economy of fighting the climate crisis is an excellent way to educate yourself about what you can be doing about it right now from the seat you already occupy. As he says, pick up a shovel and start digging. Listening to this podcast journey will help you carve your own path.
  • Armchair5000
    The climate change (crisis) show I've been looking for!
    I am really enjoying the diversity of experiences, perspectives and depth of knowledge that Jason's guests bring to the show. He queries them with a humble, open mind but doesn't hesitate to press on the hard questions. I look forward to more episodes!
  • dtmcc95
    Important podcast for those just getting their head around climate change
    Jason is doing something really important: showing people the entire landscape of climate related initiatives. It’s really hard to even define what this area of focus is called, let alone map it out. But Jason does a great job through this podcast. It’s digestible while covering so many major themes. He’s also approachable and has incorporated listener feedback very well. Highly recommend!
  • Alr3adY Tak3n!
    Must listen
    I have been in the energy/cleantech sector for over a decade and still find Jasons's climate journey informative and inspiring. I learn something on every episode - even when he interviews people I have know for years!
  • ryanh021
    Fantastic listen!
    Jason gets amazing guests and has a natural knack for interviewing. Definitely check this out no matter where you are on your own climate journey - you won't regret it!

    Masters course on climate & sustainability
    Truly a Masters level course on climate & sustainability: science, policy, & finance. Tho could you slow down? I cant keep with the ‘required’ reading on two episodes per week.
