In this episode, Megan sits down with clean tech veteran Daniel Dus to explore how his platform is transforming the way renewable energy projects are managed and deployed. From system engineering to legal consulting and project delivery, Daniel's team offers a fully integrated solution that prioritizes radical transparency, operational flexibility, and client trust. They discuss:

• Communication mistakes and how to fix them

• Giving clients access to internal tools like CRMs

• The financial future of solar and the 2028 ITC cliff

• Why clean energy is no longer “alternative,” but essential

• Whether you're in energy, construction, or any service-driven industry, Daniel’s insights will reshape how you think about service, scale, and strategy.

What if climate impact didn’t require behavior change — just better building practices?

In this episode of Green Disruptors, Megan sits down with Ross MacPherson of AeroSeal to talk about the power of air sealing. From ductwork to entire building envelopes, AeroSeal’s technology is transforming energy efficiency in both residential and commercial construction.

Ross shares how the company is scaling across 90+ countries, why energy codes are the biggest marketing lever no one talks about, and how AeroSeal’s “gigacorn” ambition (yep, that’s a billion tons of CO₂ reduced per year) is surprisingly achievable. Builders save money. Occupants gain comfort. And emissions go down — all without needing anyone to remember their reusable grocery bags.

From Basement Startup to Solar Powerhouse: Exactus Energy’s Path to Resilience

In this episode, Megan sits down with Eddie Obeliunas, co-founder and CEO of Exactus Energy, a professional services firm supporting solar projects across North America.

Eddie shares the story of how Exactus grew from two guys in a basement to a 120-person team—without outside funding. He opens up about navigating policy swings, diversifying beyond solar, and what it really takes to build a future-proof business in renewables. A must-listen for anyone in solar, engineering, or clean energy entrepreneurship.

In this episode of Green Disruptors, host Megan Kjar talks with Ravi Kiran Polepeddi, co-founder of Sustainium, a sustainability platform helping businesses take control of their carbon footprint—without the complexity.

Ravi shares how his childhood in India inspired a lifelong passion for environmental stewardship, leading to the creation of Sustainium. Together, they explore:

• Why carbon accounting is the "diagnosis" step every business needs

• How AI can eliminate human error, automate ESG reporting, and educate teams company-wide

• Why "compliance" shouldn't be the goal—and how smart emissions tracking reduces costs, attracts investors, and builds better brands

Whether you’re a global manufacturer or a growing startup, this episode is your guide to turning emissions data into meaningful action.

In this episode of Green Disruptors: Scaling the Future, Megan Kjar sits down with Nicholas Rohleder, co-founder of Climate Commodities, to explore how his team is transforming hazardous waste into critical inputs for the steel, semiconductor, and ceramics industries.

Nicholas breaks down his company’s unique "barbell" model—balancing greenfield project development with brownfield acquisitions—and shares how they’re bringing an insurance-linked approach to derisk climate infrastructure.

We also dive into the hidden challenges of feedstock quality, the fragility of capital markets, and how regulatory volatility is shaping the next wave of climate innovation.

Whether you’re a climate investor, founder, or policymaker—this conversation offers a rare window into the frontier of resource recovery and the structural innovation happening behind the scenes.

In this episode of Green Disruptors: Scaling the Future, Megan Kjar sits down with Will Glazener, co-founder of Terralytiq, to explore the critical—and often overlooked—pathway to supply-chain decarbonization. Will shares how his experience leading McKinsey’s decarbonization practice inspired him to build a software platform that empowers the world’s largest manufacturers to reduce upstream emissions.

You’ll learn why Terralytiq flips the traditional “measure first” mindset on its head, focusing instead on targeted emissions reduction at the biggest hotspots—such as aluminum smelters—before tracking results. We also dive into the business case for sustainability, from long-term renewable electricity gains to near-term cost parity, and how collaborative demand signals can unlock transformative change across global supply chains. Tune in for actionable insights on driving decarbonization at speed and scale.

In this episode, Megan sits down with Carolina Ortega, VP of Sustainability and Communications at Milestone Environmental Services, to explore how a decade-old Texas-based firm is reshaping oilfield waste management into a carbon-negative powerhouse. Learn how Milestone’s slurry reinjection process sequesters more CO₂ than it emits, why cost-neutral sustainable practices still face cultural barriers, and how a novel, public stakeholder-engagement framework is building community trust. Whether you’re in heavy industry, ESG strategy, or just curious about real-world decarbonization, Carolina’s insights on aligning environmental stewardship with business growth are not to be missed.

In this episode of Green Disrupters: Scaling the Future, Megan Kjar sits down with Kas Farsad, Chief Strategy Officer at Fortera, to explore a groundbreaking approach to one of the world’s largest sources of greenhouse gases: cement production.

Fortera’s patented process reduces CO₂ emissions by 70% compared to traditional methods—and even incorporates CO₂ into the final product. Kas walks us through the 17-year journey from lab-scale mineralization research to commissioning a commercial plant, highlights the incremental “de-risking” steps required for such a massive industry, and shares insights on building trust with established operators.

Learn how Fortera balances technological innovation with partnership, data-driven validation, and a deep empathy for its customers’ need for uninterrupted, efficient operations. Tune in for a fascinating look at how the cement industry can scale decarbonization without reinventing the supply chain.
