OM DENNE EPISODE
"I've got a spreadsheet with every AI tool, their data center usage... and shocker, they're all red." — Holly Arnold
In this episode, Holly Arnold and Shelly Waldman dig into the new B Corp standards, why nature and biodiversity belong in the climate conversation, the environmental cost of AI and digital storage, the "controversial industries" revenue rule that's already cost one major agency its B Corp status, and how solo creatives and small studios can build ethics into client conversations from the first brief.
