Mindset shift: climate action could generate trillions more per year. Invest in the future so we can all still have one

[World Economic Forum @Davos]

Climate inaction could cost us $23 trillion a year. This is what we need to do.

It exposed an obvious and massive opportunity for early adopters to capture more market share, higher demand, and higher profits

The opportunity here is huge.

✅ Embrace the green shift.

😍 It's not just preferred.

💸 It’s profitable.

⏩ Sustainable is the future.

[Jade @_jadedgaf]

🤑 Go green, make green.

💰 Global sales of fair trade products recently reached $9.2 billion.

📈 They also saw 40% higher market growth than their non fair trade alternatives.

“Customers are willing to pay a premium for sustainable goods,” according to Simon Kucher.

[Jade @_jadedgaf]

An NYU study shows consumers are willing to pay 27% more.

This isn’t just in food. The study included automation technology, semiconductors, aerospace and defense.

Resilience in the face of setbacks.

The key is finding a balance. ⚖️
Maintaining the courage to innovate, but not forgetting the wisdom to recognize threats. 🦉

As someone who eats “big risks” for breakfast, preaching this to myself today!

[Jade @_jadedgaf]

Unpopular opinion… ❌

You should be afraid as an entrepreneur. 😱

I’ll admit that I’ve done a lot of stupid things because I was fearless. 🤫

I could have saved myself a lot of trouble if I had had just a little more caution. 🚧

[Jade @_jadedgaf]

But fear on it’s own won’t lead to any measurable success, and often does keep people stuck

It has to be paired with courage.

Innovative thinking unbound by conventional limits.

A willingness to take calculated risks.

The ability to seize unexpected opportunities.

[Jade @_jadedgaf]

Win for health. Win for the environment. Win for the future.

The NYC hospitals are just the beginning.

[Jade @_jadedgaf]

Say it with me… plant-based meals are the future.

Don’t believe me?

New York City hospitals recently made plant-based meals the default dining option for patients.

Here’s what happened:

[Jade @_jadedgaf]

→ Over 50% of the patients chose plant-based meals, with 95% satisfaction.

→ Patients can still opt for meat. Nobody is forced to eat anything

→ The biggest public healthcare system in the US is setting an example for others to follow.

Our genes tell a story of survival and adaptation.

Early to fall, early to rise my a$$.

Let’s stop demonizing the founders who wake up past 9.

Some people are early birds 🐦. Some are night owls 🦉.

Here's why:

[Jade @_jadedgaf]

They guarded their community from the likes of sabertooth tigers. 🐅

This shift-based sleeping pattern that was vital for human evolution….

It’s in our DNA.

Remember:
🐓 The early bird might get the worm 🪱
🦉 But night owls kept them

🦀 Some call it crab theory, others say tall poppy syndrome .

I call it asinine.

Crab theory is a phenomenon that describes individuals who try to hinder the success of others, even when it doesn't benefit them.

It’s based on the analogy of crabs in a bucket...
