What if the tool threatening to eat your industry is also the one that could save the planet — and your brand's soul?


Ali Wines — CEO of the Climate Communications Alliance — joins us to decode what's actually happening at the intersection of AI, ESG strategy, and storytelling that makes people move. The organizations sleepwalking through this shift aren't going to get a second warning.


• How AI is rewriting marketing, communications, and climate advocacy — at the same time

• Navigating greenwashing and trust erosion without torching your credibility

• Why Patagonia's radical transparency is the playbook most brands are still ignoring

• How to keep your voice distinctly yours when AI is sanding everything down to beige


Progress isn't about perfection — it's about showing up honest in a space full of noise. In an era where consumers have a finely tuned BS detector, being real isn't a soft skill. It's the strategy.
