ABOUT THE GUEST:
Chad Frischmann is the Founder and CEO of Regenerative Intelligence (RegenIntel), a global ecosystem superpowered by leading system thinkers and doers creating a regenerative economy and society that places human and planetary well-being at the heart of our collective future.
Chad is also the co-creator, lead researcher, and architect of the Drawdown Solutions Framework, the engine behind the New York Times best-seller Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming (Penguin, 2017) and the Drawdown Review (2020). As the architect of Drawdown Solutions, Chad led a global team of researchers to assess the world's most effective climate solutions and determine if, when, and how the world can reach "drawdown," the point in time when the concentration of atmospheric greenhouse gases begins to decline on a year-to-year basis. Chad is a key spokesperson and coalition-builder dedicated to sharing the message and model of the Drawdown Framework to the world.
