About Awarepreneurs

Thanks for checking out the Awarepreneurs podcast! My name is Paul Zelizer and I am passionate - you could say obsessed - about the intersection of 3 things: a) conscious business, b) social impact and c) awareness practices. I believe these 3 movements are some of the most dynamic movements on our planet at this time. Around the world. people are discovering how to lead with compassion and create businesses that truly are a force for good. Each week, I do a deep dive interview with a thought leader in this intersection. Someone who has an enterprise that is market tested and already transforming many lives. I ask the gritty and sometimes challenging questions - like how they earn their money, how many people they help and what some of their biggest failures are. My goal for this show is to help you grow your businesses, enhance your well being and increase your social impact.

402 | Coming of Age Loudly: The Teenage Era of Sustainability with Sandhya Sabapathy

Published 22 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] You've got a great cool piece of tech that has been developed or a great science-based product that's been developed, but it still stays quite separately to commercial kind of scaling up investments. So some of the best, I would say, sustainability technologies are not currently scalable. And the only way they can be scalable is if there is a commercial business mindset and there is a good kind of conversation between private and public sector. That's why I've zeroed in on business.
