In this latest episode of The Sustainability Experts, I had the honor of speaking with Jennifer Stolo, CEO and producer at Robert Craig Films. Jennifer’s journey from pediatric healthcare and Make-A-Wish to directing films like No Address is nothing short of extraordinary.

We explore:
    •    The real human stories behind homelessness
    •    How film can catalyze compassion and policy change
    •    The power of listening—really listening—to those whose voices are often unheard
    •    Why companies must embed empathy into their culture and how it fuels both impact and innovation

Jennifer’s work reminds us that storytelling isn’t just about awareness—it’s about action. The No Address project has grown into a movement, including a feature film, a documentary, a novel, a study guide, and a soundtrack—all with 50% of proceeds going back to nonprofits tackling homelessness.

If you’re a leader, changemaker, or creative, this episode will move you.
Tune in, and let’s reimagine how businesses and communities can create change—one story at a time.

Episode 574 (2025) David Reiling On Values-Based Banking Driving Community Development

Official GHOST Rocket Song Submission - Created/Tailored for the GHOST Rocket Mission 2025, this song celebrates science, environmental awareness, and global collaboration. Written by artists from Portugal (Mary Ann) and the USA (Joshua Bonnett – Los Angeles, Gregory Miele – New Jersey), it embodies the mission’s spirit of unity, discovery, and hope for our planet.

This song carries a powerful message of hope, unity, and perseverance. It tells the story of a journey where, despite obstacles, humanity continues to dream and strive toward a better future. The lyrics evoke a collective effort — symbolized by actions like “sowing seeds and holding lights” — representing the hopes and aspirations of countless hearts united.

Imagery of vast, unexplored realms, such as “where the oceans breathe” and “where silence sings,” invites listeners to imagine boundless possibilities. The song reminds us that we are the “spark” and “voices in the dark,” those who ignite change and rise together as one.

The chorus celebrates overcoming adversity and reaching for the stars, embodying the pursuit of dreams and a brighter tomorrow. The bridge calls for breaking down borders and embracing freedom. Ultimately, the song is a tribute to the power of dreaming, collective action, and the love that propels us forward — for the sake of our planet and the future we share.
