Climate change may seem like an insurmountable challenge. But while politics and passions paint a bleak picture of inaction, Carbon Lighthouses recognize climate change as just another problem — and problems are meant to be solved. Many of the tools for profit-driven carbon elimination already exist, what matters is finding the combination of willpower, business sense, and financial structure that make it possible. Climate Solved is a podcast celebrating the ideas and collaborations that make use of market forces to take climate action. Each week, Co-founder and CEO Brenden Millstein sits down with a new guest to discuss the solutions that will stop climate change in our lifetime. Created for entrepreneurs and leaders in commercial real estate & hospitality investment, asset management, solar, and energy services, Volume 1 will introduce you to key members of the Carbon Lighthouse team and how they’re uniting commercial interests with a mission to stop climate change.

On the inaugural episode of Climate Solved, Carbon Lighthouse CEO Brenden Millstein sits down with co-founder Raphael Rosen to discuss their friendship, the climate challenge, and the path that brought them to Carbon Lighthouse. From a kindergarten class in Berkeley to the Harvard physics department and beyond, the business partners reminisce about the card games and kindnesses that drew them together early on and their shared passion for eliminating carbon emissions that would connect them years later.
