First ever Funday Monday! Where we forget about ECO stuff for a day and do something random and/or fun. Today I decided to just talk about myself so you guys can learn more about who I am and why I do what I do! We also end with some random get-to-know-you questions! Excited for more Funday Mondays in future! Be […]
Today I decided to go unscripted and candid, and decided to talk about why I started Verdant Growth: the problems in environment and society I see and the two strategies I want to use in my life to fight them.
On my walk with Manoa today, I suddenly came to a break in the trees that gave me a view of all of Osaka, as well as a new perspective on human society. Also….I made it thought 10 episodes! I’m excited for me. Thanks so much to everyone who has come along for the journey. I appreciate all of you!
Today we’re talking about Joshua Spodek, PhD, MBA, host of This Sustainable Life podcast, award winning author of Leadership: Step by Step, and most environmentally-friendly person I know. He was my inspiration for starting Verdant Growth and is now teaching me to lead others on environment. He’s an incredible person, and I highly recommend you watch/read/listen to everything he’s posted. […]

Today let’s talk about some of the good environmental news we had in 2020 as well as how I feel 2020 went for Verdant Growth. Last, I’ll tell you what I’m thinking for the future of Verdant Growth. I’m excited for 2021 and looking hopefully […]
When last I posted, I had practiced presenting my projects to friends and family members. I actually ended up pursuing the project on EV chargers in apartments. I wasn’t sure if this was the one I really loved, but as is mentioned in Josh’s book, there really is no wrong choice in projects: if you end up choosing a project […]
When I was making the video about bamboo, I just decided to stomp around the bamboo forests for a while and took some random video to use in the main video. In case anyone wanted to see me, my family, and my dog exploring the bamboo, I thought I’d upload it. Enjoy!
In a previous post, I talked about how getting a dog brought unexpected positive things to my life, despite thinking it was going to be mostly a nuisance to my busy life. One of those things is that I ended up getting out of the house and exploring the neighborhood a lot more. It meant exploring the hills and forest […]
