160. No Doom for Boomers! Mobilizing a Generation with Bill McKibben
ESG is in hot water - Is it just simmering or is it spoiling?
When Elon Musk tweets \u201cESG is a scam\u201d that \u201chas been weaponized by phony social justice warriors.\u201d and a day later, an HSBC executive says that \u201cclimate change isn\u2019t a financial risk that we need to worry about,\u201d and then after that Former Vice President Mike Pence writes an opinion in WSJ that \u201cESG is elevating left-wing goals over the interests of businesses and their employees\u201d...You start to wonder - What is all this fuss about? And why now?
This week we dig into the future or collapse of ESG as we know it, and is all this attention making ESG better or worse? And later on in the episode Bill McKibben returns to the podcast to talk about his latest venture mobilizing \u2018The Greatest Generation\u2019 to take action on Climate Change call Third Act - and his new book, \u2018The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon: A Graying American Looks Back at His Suburban Boyhood and Wonders What the Hell Happened. What a title!
And of course, be sure to stick around for an exclusive podcast performance of \u2018Leaving Song\u2019 by Max Jury.
