So he whips out his calculator, picks up the phone, and starts sending off those grant applications. Amidst it all, he’s dealing with a cold workspace, grappling with contracts, and taking his first foray into filmmaking. Sure, he’s picked up a few new skills lately. But the question is: can he find a buyer for his credits? And, ultimately, will he get the funds he needs to make this all happen?</p><p><em>&nbsp;</em></p><p><em>Grounded is the story of a startup that wants to remove carbon from the atmosphere and help reshape our relationship with the planet. Ideally without burning to the ground in the process.</em></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Follow the podcast to hear Tom’s journey, or visit <a href=\"https://www.restord.earth/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">restord.earth</a> to learn more about the project.</p><p><br></p><p>Thank you to the guests who featured in this episode, including:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><ul><li><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/peter-fisher-563ba054/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Fisher</a> – Director, <a href=\"https://www.bennettsassociates.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Bennetts Associates</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-hopkins-a3372227/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Hopkins</a> – Associate, <a href=\"https://www.bennettsassociates.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Bennetts Associates</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/pfmayer/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Peter Mayer</a> – Partner, <a href=\"https://sdfm.nyc/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Stairs Dillenbeck Finley Mayer PLLC</a></li><li><a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/martyn-alvey-63293425/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Councillor Martyn Alvey</a> – Portfolio Holder for Environment and Climate Change, <a href=\"https://www.cornwall.gov.uk/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Cornwall Council</a> (Councillor Alvey recorded this conversation in April 2024, prior to the UK pre-election period.)</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Grounded: A Climate Startup Journey is:</p><p>hosted by <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-previte-878278a3/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Tom Previte</a>,</p><p>produced by <a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/benweaverhincks/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Weaver-Hincks</a>,</p><p>with graphic design by Liubov Pankiv,</p><p>and marketing and promotional support by&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/paolasaaenzc/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Paola Sáenz</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jack-turnham-0672a5154/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Jack Turnham</a></p>","author_name":"Restord"}
