Recently, we spoke with Andrew Gottlieb, Founder of the purpose-driven online marketing and branding company No Typical Moments.
The topic was Gottlieb’s other passion, a podcast series called The School for Humanity wherein he speaks with thinkers and strategists from all over the spectrum, with a focus on entrepreneurs and those working on sustainable projects.
He shared some of what he’s learned through interviewing so many interesting people. Here are the highlights.
It’s highly anomalous that a major cyclone just made landfall on the West Coast of India, in June, within spitting distance of Mumbai.
So, what’s up with this? Is it random chance?
Nope. According to scientists, it’s just your friendly neighborhood climate change.
