To a Certain Degree

Nick catches up with old friend Shye Gilad on this episode of To a Certain Degree. Shye's a business consultant, podcaster, and professor, therefore he had a lot of Bad Business Ideas pitched at him. He knocked them all out of the park, mainly to get them away from him.

Sustainability waits for no one, so it's a condensed episode with Chris Castro, the Director of Sustainability at the City of Orlando.
