  • Regenerative Impact

    Regenerative Impact
    Jul 22 2021
    In this episode we explore small scale regenerative farming and ranching.


    What does it mean practically to “go regenerative”, what are the timeframes, what benefit it is to the planet, and we’ll show sometimes you might just be trying to improve your yields and become an accidental environmentalist.

     

    We’re going to explore how people in the US can utilise government programs to help fund their way into more regenerative ranching practices.

     

    Our accomplices on this journey include Marcus Long - the founder of a long legacy and REI firm and naval officer- he’s all about helping investors around the world securely finance their future and educating the next generation holistically - and Sebastian Graf, an American kid with dyslexia that stopped normal school to hunt fossils and ended up a robotics engineer and expatriated to Berlin. 


    What is regenerative?

    Fabian Meyer-Brötz and Joseph Druther unpack the nitty gritty details of the costs, planning, and benefits of investing in 3D printed homes.

    Part 2: Regenerative Agriculture Investing "Dirt Under Your Fingernails"
    Jul 8 2021

    Rich Bradbury is no gentleman farmer. He is helping provide a superior grass fed meat product and regenerate the soil by advancing regenerative practices in the drought stricken Great Basin in Oregon. 


    Jim Haberer serves his nation as naval officer stationed in Naples, Italy and he wants to invest for impact from abroad.  Despite being almost vegetarian, he believes in the power of planned holistic grazing. But with his career it's hard for him to get out onto the land directly.  He’s in full R&D mode now, there’s no stopping him.

     

    Part 2 of this series we go into the technical details of private investment through many different proven vehicles to make money and make a difference.

  • Solar Farms: Invest to Do Well & Do Good with Similar IRR as Multifamily

    Solar Farms: Invest to Do Well & Do Good with Similar IRR as Multifamily
    Jun 14 2021
    What happens when you get a NASA pilot together with a clean energy fund manager and MF syndicator?  A whole lot of inspiration to build a better future for our kids and SOPs.   Yes, step-by-step details on how normal people like us can invest into renewable energy projects either passively or actively and take advantage of the tailwinds behind solar and be at the front of the Green Wave. Micheal Euperio is paddling out front on that wave.  His company Redeem Investments breathes life into old apartments to rejuvenate the community and now massively making impact on a clean future by raising a fund that works with minority business enterprise developers on a utility grade solar farm.Dan Heaney doesn’t let the status quo define him, on his conventional real estate search he noticed empty land and thought, why don’t I buy it and put a solar farm on it?  No tenants, just PVs.  He’s in full R&D mode now, there’s no stopping him. Stay tuned to the end where we digress into treacherous but amazing mountain bike trails and taking a break from being a tourist and simply drinking beer on the beach with the locals is the best part of being on vacation I’m a total beginner on this but you’ll see it’s not all that different from investing in commercial real estate as a private lender but with a whole lot of government subsidies. I know we’ll be hearing a lot more from Micheal and Dan in the future. Michael Euperio is COO of Redeem Investments, West Point graduate and multifamily syndicator.  michael@redeeminvestments.comDan Heaney is an aspiring solar farm developer and Nasa Pilot.  Supported by Aspiration Bank & Sustainable Investors Group Thanks so much to Dan and Micheal for helping me dive deep into the topic, I’ll admit I really didn’t understand how you can act as lender for solar projects and stay outside the equity position on a depreciating asset like equipment. I had a blast learning about this and in conclusion: Solar has huge tailwinds and we should paddle out on the front of this green wave for a diversified portfolio resilient to climate shocks.    Seas to Swim In: Solar LendingSolar Lending:  For predevelopment/development: the Fund has a 15% IRR with a 3 year exit plan.  Sounds pretty good.  The utility company will hold the asset and reduces risk on maintenance.Paris Agreement: Solar is likely the most profitable short term solution to meet our energy demands to limit global warming. Many approaches are needed though. Mountains to Climb: Solar End-to-EndComplexity:  Without experience it’s tough to sort out all the technical details, partnering with an experienced operator would be helpful to avoid costly mistakes.Initial Investment: land needed is about 2-5 acres per megawatt.    85-95 cents per watt is a good build price. Thanks again to Micheal and Dan to help us unpack this on our Summit Roundtable.Book Recommendations: Traction, Climate Wealth Learn how your green can grow more green for your portfolio and the planet!

  • Is Carbon Farming the New Gold Rush for Investors?

    Is Carbon Farming the New Gold Rush for Investors?
    May 20 2021
    Who here loves sushi and Korean Kimbap?  I do!   Well this episode is going to blow your mind at the opportunities to invest in seaweed that sequesters carbon and is sunk to the bottom of the oceans to save the world!We also have some killer conversation on how Iceland is fighting climate change with Viking Lava Stones that sequester carbon!  Sebastian Graf is robotics expert and founder of True Carbon. Sponsored by Aspiration Bank & Sustainable Investors Group You will learn the nuts and bolts of the potentially disrupting, emerging voluntary carbon marketplaces.We will decipher what carbon certificates are, who buys them, the science behind it, and how you can invest in them.It revolves around the topic of regenerative agriculture - all the rage on land, but our guest Sebastian Graf a robotics expert and carbon tech entrepreneur,  takes it one step further.He wants to connect tech companies flush with cash but desperate to offset their entire carbon footprint to farmers on the land AND sea doing regenerative practices based in science.Stay tuned to the end where we digress into Viking Lava Stones - What will Iceland think of next?I’m a total beginner on this, so if you are new to the concepts this is a great episode for you because I ask all the questions.Thanks so much to Sebastian for helping me dive deep into the topic, I’ll admit I really didn’t understand how you can link these disparate entities together. I had a blast learning about this and in conclusion:Carbon farming while not new, is just now starting to have efficient startups that can eliminate middlemen in issuing certificates that are supply constrained.   It has great potential to disrupt and solve some problems in food and climate but there are also hurdles. Seas to Swim In: Carbon Farming MarketplacesSupply Constrained:  Big tech companies have made net zero pledges for their entire history and don’t have enough places to purchase certificates to offset their CO2. Better Soil, Coral: Regenerative practices not only sequester carbon but they make better, more fertile soil that can produce a better yield.  And in the sea, plants can regenerate coral reefs too. Mountains to Climb: Carbon Farming MarketplacesScaleability:  To move more carbon into the soil and make it healthier or place more biomass at the bottom of the sea requires many agricultural operations to do it and educating them on these practices is a monumental task.Initial Investment: Converting land and sea agriculture takes time and often is not insured by places like the USDA.  Financing is needed. Thanks again to Sebastian to help us unpack this on our Green Grows Green Series: Is Carbon Farming the New Gold Rush for Investors? Get in touch with Sebastian. Learn how your green can grow more green for your portfolio and the planet!
