  1. “Yeah, so we have a government that's basically saying attacking American companies. I mean, that's what's happening all the time. That's what dictators do. That's what despots do. Right. I mean, we need to wake up and companies need to stand up.”

  2. “It's a natural resources committee and it's run by Rob Bishop, who's from Utah, who's funded by oil and gas. And it's pretty clear that this was oil gas and uranium mining extraction. And they were mad that we did this campaign that said the president stole your land.”

  4. “I know. So, you know, we just we were working with native groups in the area and friends groups that had protected these areas, and it just seemed the best path to go to do a lawsuit.”

  5. “Well, we've been working with conservation groups, like I said, for 30 years, and I think everyone saw it coming, that this was going to happen. They were saying it wasn't going to happen. Zinky was doing the sham review where he was going to look at 26 national monuments in like three months. And then they asked for public comment and three million public comments come in, and they're all in support of the monuments. And then they just totally ignored them and cut the monuments. Right, right. I mean, it was unbelievable.”

  6. “I mean, okay, first of all, we've been in conservation for. 30 years. And conservation is a totally bipartisan effort. It really is. I mean, people from all walks of life care about preserving wilderness. And Trump and Zinky did something that no other president has ever done, which is to reverse national monument designations of past presidents. And it is horrible and illegal, we think, so we're suing him.”

  7. “Yeah, well, I mean, you know, I think people today, and especially like younger people, they see what's going on. They have more information at their fingertips than the president had 15 years ago, right? Right. And they know what's happening to the climate. They know we're using the resources of the planet in such a way that we're going to use them up and murder the planet. I mean, I think they see that and they want to support businesses that are actually doing something good. For people on the planet, and they understand that capitalism is great, but it needs to morph and change and evolve into something that makes work more meaningful, people happier and healthier. And that's the way that we see it, and we're trying to lead by example.”

  8. “So since you've been CEO, the revenues have risen four times, right? Like that. So you're a good business person, obviously. Talk about why you think that is because one of the things you've been doing is sticking to this idea of there's lots of words for it, but essentially social business, right? Or a socially-minded business.”

  9. “Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, it kind of happened naturally. I think we both saw business as like should be a force for good in the world, should have responsibility to the planet and to community. And we felt really strongly about that. So I think I'm more of a traditional business person. Yvonne's more of an entrepreneur in the combination of us together is, I think, pretty powerful”

  10. “It's usually not a good thing, and most of the time it doesn't work, you know? Yeah. So I was studying Buddhism at the time and I was feeling like the work that I was doing wasn't in line with my values. And so I took a break and I went on retreat and I thought I was going to be a Buddhist nun. And then I was like, hey, I need to stay in my wheelhouse. take the things that I'm really good at and do good in the world. And, you know, working for Yvonne. He's like, yeah. The king of responsible business. He would hate that I'm calling him a king, but it's true.”

  11. “Yeah. Well, I kind of went through a midlife crisis. I had a lot of success. I was working in private equity and I was seeing how, and I came out of finance, so I was seeing how the whole system is really designed in such a way that really isn't good for people in the planet. You know, these short-term, five-year exits, where a few investors make a bunch of money. And I was working in M&A. And, you know, when companies get bought and sold, right.”

  12. “Yeah, I mean, at the time, it was sort of the golden age of the golden age of tech, it was the 90s, and there was a lot of excitement. You know, it's an industry that's driven by VCs wanting to make a lot of money doing IPOs. Right. They were doing a lot of concept IPOs, and General Magic was one of them.”
