In this episode I speak with Will Clayton, CEO of Sky Harvest, a forest carbon project developer that incentivizes small landowners to avoid harvesting their trees for climate impact. We discuss:
* How his Christian upbringing shapes his current work in environmental markets.
* How growing up in North Carolina's forests through scouting and hiking fostered his deep connection to nature.
* His experience at BCG and how it shaped his approach to problem-solving in the environmental space.
* Why the carbon market's failure to account for the time value of climate action represents a fundamental flaw that Sky Harvest is working to address.
* The challenges of balancing ambition with what truly matters in life.
