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.
