Today\\u2019s guest is no stranger to film and TV. Emellie O\\u2019Brien has worked on The Amazing Spiderman 2, Showtime\\u2019s Billions, and the CBS drama Madam Secretary. She saves production teams tens of thousands of dollars, maybe more, with a unique job: eco supervisor. Let\\u2019s just say that you won\\u2019t find any plastic water bottles on Emellie\\u2019s sets.

Emilie O\\u2019Brien is making waves in the film industry with her company, Earth Angel. After receiving a film degree at the prestigious NYU Tisch School of the Arts, she started to notice many film crews were anything but eco-friendly on set.

She began her business as a way to educate and inform producers and crew members how to be sustainable, from starting recycling and composing programs to donating unused food to charity.

Today, we\\u2019ll talk about how Emellie first began supporting herself as a teenager, including paying her way through college and how she built her business from scratch.
