Investing is not neutral.
Your money is not sitting in some ethical waiting room. It is building something, financing something, and rewarding something. Whether you meant to or not, your portfolio may be voting for yesterday, today, or tomorrow.
In this episode of Is Anything Real?, Adam W. Barney sits down with Pete Krull, longtime sustainable investing advisor and founder of Earth Equity Advisors, for a conversation about sustainable investing, legacy industries, greenwashing, long-term thinking, representation in finance, and why “safe” investing is often just nostalgia with better packaging.
Pete has spent more than 22 years in what he once called counterculture Wall Street: helping people invest not in the economy of yesterday, but in the cleaner, more resilient, more resource-efficient, and more equitable economy of tomorrow.
This conversation challenges the idea that sustainable investing is soft, niche, political, or simply values theater. Because every investment strategy has a worldview baked into it. The question is whether that worldview is honest about where the economy is actually going.
Adam and Pete unpack why traditional finance often gets to hide its assumptions behind the word “normal,” why broad market indexes can reflect yesterday’s economy, and why future readiness matters more than nostalgia.
They also get personal: inherited money, inherited worldviews, fossil fuels, circular economies, generational change, and what happens when you start asking what your money is actually building.
Pete also shares practical questions investors can ask, including how to look beyond fund labels, why greenwashing requires better receipts, and how to start with one account instead of trying to overhaul an entire financial life in one weekend.
NOTE: This episode is educational and not financial advice. Talk with a qualified financial professional before making investment decisions.
In this episode:
- Why investing is not neutral
- Why your money is already making a statement
- Why sustainable investing is not just values theater
- How legacy industries shape the investing conversation
- Why indexes can reflect yesterday’s economy
- Why future readiness matters in portfolio thinking
- What greenwashing gets wrong
- Why the answer to greenwashing is better receipts, not cynicism
- How inherited money can carry inherited worldview
- Why circular economies matter
- Why finance still has a representation problem
- How to run the “Money Is Building Something” audit
- What questions to ask a financial professional
The big takeaway:
Your money is building something.
The only question is whether you know what it is building...and whether that still matches the future you say you believe in.

Here's a myth
00:00:06
Wall Street would love for us to keep swallowing.
00:00:09
Investing is neutral.
00:00:12
Well, that's just plain not true.
00:00:14
Your money is not sitting in some ethical waiting room.
00:00:17
It's actually building something.
00:00:19
It's financing something,
00:00:20
and it's rewarding something.
00:00:23
It's actually voting for yesterday, today, or tomorrow,
00:00:26
whether you intended it or not.
00:00:28
And the spicy part:
00:00:29
a lot of safe investing is not neutral at all.
00:00:32
It's really just beautifully packaged nostalgia
00:00:35
for the economy that got us into this mess.
00:00:39
Welcome back to "Is Anything Real?",
00:00:41
the reality-first leadership show
00:00:42
where we test advice,
00:00:43
publish the receipts,
00:00:45
and ship what actually works under pressure.
00:00:47
I'm Adam W. Barney,
00:00:49
transition leadership coach,
00:00:50
author of Make Your Own Glass Half Full,
00:00:53
and builder of EnergyOS,
00:00:54
where I help leaders rebuild their operating system
00:00:57
when the tools that got them here stop working.
00:01:00
Today's guest is Peter Krull,
00:01:02
longtime sustainable investing advisor
00:01:04
and founder of Earth Equity Advisors.
00:01:07
Peter has spent over 22 years doing what he called,
00:01:11
on our first call,
00:01:12
counterculture Wall Street,
00:01:14
helping people invest not in the economy of yesterday,
00:01:18
but in the cleaner,
00:01:19
more resilient,
00:01:20
more resource-efficient,
00:01:22
and more equitable economy of tomorrow.
00:01:24
And actually, a few years ago,
00:01:26
Earth Equity was acquired
00:01:27
by private Prime Capital Financial,
00:01:29
giving Peter's work a much bigger platform
00:01:32
while also moving him from entrepreneur builder
00:01:36
into specialist inside a larger system,
00:01:39
which I think, as a fellow operator, Peter,
00:01:41
I know it's his own emotional CrossFit there.
00:01:45
Right?
00:01:45
So, Peter, welcome to the show.
00:01:48
Thank you so much, Adam.
00:01:49
I've been looking forward to this recording.
00:01:51
And, yeah, I think we're both
00:01:54
dealing with a heat wave right now outside.
00:01:56
So it's nice to be in the air conditioning here.
00:01:58
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is, it is.
00:02:00
But that's something
00:02:01
we should count ourselves lucky for right now, also.
00:02:04
Oh, absolutely.
00:02:05
I mean, if you look at places like India
00:02:07
where they don't have the power grid
00:02:09
or they don't have the wealth,
00:02:11
I guess you could say,
00:02:13
to provide the air conditioning,
00:02:15
or Europe as well too, is having problems.
00:02:18
We should, we should really, really feel grateful.
00:02:20
Yeah, yeah.
00:02:21
And I mean, I think that gets into the myth that we're going
00:02:24
into a little bit here today that sustainable investing is soft.
00:02:28
Maybe it's niche, maybe it's political or it's just values theater.
00:02:33
But really, every investment strategy has a worldview baked into it.
00:02:38
The question is whether that is honest
00:02:40
about where the economy is actually going.
00:02:42
So what's the myth about sustainable investing
00:02:45
that makes you want to flip a conference room table?
00:02:48
Professionally, of course.
00:02:51
Well, I mean, I could do that literally too.
00:02:53
Either way is fine with me.
00:02:58
There's a lot of myths,
00:02:59
and there's actually a lot of intentional disinformation
00:03:03
that gets put out about our industry.
00:03:06
And, a lot of it comes from the legacy industries,
00:03:10
the industries that haven't evolved and aren't evolving
00:03:14
for what tomorrow's economy is going to look like.
00:03:16
And that's really frustrating because, you know,
00:03:19
if you're one of the oil companies
00:03:22
and you haven't seen the, I mean,
00:03:24
they've all seen the writing on the wall,
00:03:26
they're just continuing to try to do business as usual
00:03:29
for as long as they possibly can
00:03:31
to get every drop of oil and every BTU of gas
00:03:36
out of the ground before suddenly they're like,
00:03:39
okay, well, we can't do this anymore.
00:03:42
I think there's something morally wrong with that,
00:03:46
and that lack of initiative, if you will,
00:03:49
to actually say, you know what,
00:03:52
we are going to make a stand,
00:03:53
and we are going to transition to a cleaner economy.
00:03:56
We are going to transition our business
00:03:58
so that way, 50 years from now,
00:04:01
our particular big fossil fuel company
00:04:03
is not going to be known for being a fossil fuel company.
00:04:06
It is going to be
00:04:09
the clean energy leader of the next generation.
00:04:12
Yeah, yeah.
00:04:13
And that's the part that drives me nuts here, actually.
00:04:16
You know, the traditional finance world
00:04:18
loves to frame sustainable investing, I think,
00:04:21
as the values option,
00:04:23
as if everything else is value-free.
00:04:25
And I think that's nonsense with a nicer tie.
00:04:28
Right.
00:04:28
Every portfolio,
00:04:29
every broad market index expresses a belief.
00:04:34
Right.
00:04:36
The only difference is that traditional finance
00:04:39
often gets to hide the ideology, let's say,
00:04:41
behind the word normal.
00:04:44
Yeah, it does.
00:04:45
And, you know, there's a fear aspect to it.
00:04:49
Right?
00:04:49
Because we don't like change as humans.
00:04:52
We don't like the fact that, oh my gosh,
00:04:54
suddenly I'm not having to go to the gas station anymore.
00:04:57
I have to plug my car into electric.
00:04:59
That's different.
00:04:59
That's something that I haven't,
00:05:01
that my parents didn't teach me.
00:05:03
And that fear of change, I think,
00:05:06
is a little bit about what holds us back.
00:05:10
But change is constant, as we all know.
00:05:14
Being able to take a step back and see,
00:05:17
okay, most people who invest,
00:05:20
invest in indexes,
00:05:23
because it's easier
00:05:24
than trying to pick company A over company B.
00:05:27
But what an index is,
00:05:29
it's a measurement of yesterday's economy.
00:05:32
It is where the economy was,
00:05:35
a year ago, five years ago, ten years ago.
00:05:38
It doesn't necessarily do a really good job
00:05:40
of predicting where the economy is going to be
00:05:43
5, 10, 20, 50 years down the road.
00:05:45
And that's where I think that, you know,
00:05:48
there is such great opportunity,
00:05:50
because when we think about
00:05:52
what is the definition of growth investing,
00:05:54
it's investing where the economy is going.
00:05:57
Right.
00:05:57
And so the economy is not necessarily
00:06:00
going to be a fossil fuel economy
00:06:03
5, 10, 20, 50 years down the road,
00:06:05
where your kids and grandkids
00:06:07
are really going to be a part of the economy.
00:06:09
Sure.
00:06:10
So what is going to be the economy then?
00:06:13
Well, it's like you said in the intro,
00:06:14
it's going to be a cleaner,
00:06:16
more resource-efficient,
00:06:17
more resilient and more equitable economy.
00:06:19
So what are the companies that are leading us into that,
00:06:23
I don't want to say revolution,
00:06:25
but I'm going to say revolution.
00:06:26
So.
00:06:27
Yeah, and it is, and I love that
00:06:29
because it actually works to reframe sustainable investing
00:06:33
away from personal virtue
00:06:35
and towards future readiness.
00:06:37
Right.
00:06:37
It's not just I want to feel good about my money,
00:06:40
it's what economy do I believe is being built
00:06:43
and do my investments or my portfolio reflect that belief?
00:06:47
Because the economy of tomorrow
00:06:49
is not some lavender-scented dream board.
00:06:52
Right.
00:06:52
No, and it's about economics.
00:06:54
So, when we look at the data that's coming out,
00:06:59
for the past two years.
00:07:00
So in '24 and '25,
00:07:02
we've seen about 95% of all new electric generation
00:07:07
in the United States
00:07:08
has either been solar, wind, or batteries.
00:07:11
It hasn't been fossil fuel.
00:07:12
It hasn't been gas.
00:07:13
I mean, that's still there to a much smaller extent,
00:07:17
but it's part of the reason why last month,
00:07:20
in the US,
00:07:21
solar surpassed coal
00:07:23
for the first time ever
00:07:24
as a generator of our electric.
00:07:28
And why is that?
00:07:29
Because of economics, because of scale.
00:07:32
The greater the scale, the better the economics.
00:07:35
And so we've really hit that crossover point
00:07:37
where clean energy is actually
00:07:40
a preferred way to be generating electric,
00:07:44
as opposed to yesterday's economy.
00:07:48
Right, right.
00:07:49
And then I think traditionally
00:07:50
people invest thinking
00:07:52
that the past is safely repeatable,
00:07:54
but that's actually the riskiest thing in the world.
00:07:56
Right.
00:07:57
Sometimes the riskiest move is, though,
00:08:00
not just changing.
00:08:02
It's pretending the old world
00:08:03
still has a 30, 40, 50-year lease on it.
00:08:07
Right, right, absolutely.
00:08:08
I mean, think about the perfect example,
00:08:12
of course, is buggy whips, right?
00:08:14
The people who were investing in horse and buggy,
00:08:18
suddenly you got the horseless carriage
00:08:22
and now, how many years on we are from that?
00:08:25
But it's interesting.
00:08:27
You know, I've been in this business for,
00:08:29
like you said, 22 years.
00:08:30
I've been in the investment business for 28 years
00:08:34
and, everything is always changing,
00:08:36
everything is always evolving.
00:08:39
When I started,
00:08:40
we didn't have all this fast access to data
00:08:42
like we have right now.
00:08:46
And that's both a good and a bad thing.
00:08:47
It's a good thing in that
00:08:49
I can get on Morningstar Direct,
00:08:52
or I can get with Claude right here
00:08:54
and get as much information
00:08:56
or put reports together,
00:08:57
so much faster than I ever have.
00:09:00
But the negative side of it
00:09:02
is that it made our thinking
00:09:03
so much more short-term.
00:09:06
And so when we're watching CNBC,
00:09:10
when we're checking out
00:09:11
what is our daily value for our investment portfolio?
00:09:16
That's not what investing is.
00:09:17
Investing is buying a company you believe in
00:09:20
and holding it
00:09:21
because you know that over the long term
00:09:23
it is going to be the company
00:09:25
that really changes the paradigm,
00:09:27
that shifts things.
00:09:28
But we've really developed a short-term mindset.
00:09:32
What are quarterly earnings?
00:09:33
I mean, a lot of retailers are providing, like,
00:09:35
weekly sales figures.
00:09:36
In the big scheme of things,
00:09:38
none of that really matters.
00:09:39
What are you developing,
00:09:40
and how are you creating your,
00:09:42
how are yoy making your company
00:09:44
or crafting your company,
00:09:46
that's a better word,
00:09:48
to be a long-term market leader.
00:09:52
Right, right.
00:09:53
Well, and also I want to kind of talk a little bit
00:09:55
about the personal inheritance problem.
00:09:57
Right.
00:09:57
You know, taking this down
00:09:58
from the market level to the personal level,
00:10:00
because I think it's actually where it gets even stickier.
00:10:03
Yeah.
00:10:03
You know, I had mentioned to you
00:10:05
that my father worked in wealth management
00:10:07
for more than 20 years.
00:10:08
And growing up,
00:10:09
one of the gifts he gave my sister and I,
00:10:11
was ExxonMobil stock.
00:10:13
And that brings up a strange kind
00:10:15
of what I would call inherited tension.
00:10:17
Right.
00:10:17
I didn't choose that as a child.
00:10:20
I did not understand the climate implications.
00:10:22
We don't need to talk about the politics side of that.
00:10:25
But I didn't know what it meant
00:10:27
for money to be invested
00:10:28
in one future instead of another.
00:10:30
But later in life, you begin to ask,
00:10:32
what did I inherit financially,
00:10:35
culturally, politically, spiritually, professionally?
00:10:38
And what am I still carrying?
00:10:40
Because it arrived before I had the choice.
00:10:42
And I know you also talked about growing up
00:10:44
in a conservative Lutheran school environment
00:10:47
and swinging far in the other direction over time.
00:10:50
You know,
00:10:50
how did your own background
00:10:52
shape the work you do now?
00:10:54
So, we had a, we call it a cabin,
00:11:00
but basically it was a trailer out in the woods,
00:11:03
south of Buffalo.
00:11:03
I grew up in Buffalo, and, you know,
00:11:05
my brother was a big influence on me.
00:11:07
We were out hiking, we were out,
00:11:09
you know, learning.
00:11:11
You know, back at the time we were hunting
00:11:13
and just doing all the things
00:11:15
that come with being in that setting.
00:11:18
And I really gained an appreciation for the outdoors.
00:11:22
And, from that, I think I had a good
00:11:27
basis of environmentalism,
00:11:30
for lack of a better word,
00:11:32
right from the start.
00:11:34
My wife, who I met, gosh, 23 years ago,
00:11:40
she's a lot smarter than me.
00:11:41
She's a dual PhD microbiologist and molecular geneticist.
00:11:44
Oh, yeah, I married up;
00:11:46
there's no doubt about it.
00:11:48
But she's had a tremendous influence on me.
00:11:52
I was in traditional investing when I met her,
00:11:54
and we were having conversations about climate,
00:11:57
and sustainability,
00:11:59
and all these things.
00:12:01
I had a conversation with a guy named Bill McDonough,
00:12:04
who, at the the time, was considered
00:12:05
one of the preeminent green architects in the world.
00:12:08
He wrote the book "Cradle to Cradle" about circular economies.
00:12:12
And so those are probably the three biggest influences
00:12:16
on why I'm sitting where I'm sitting today.
00:12:19
Because the appreciation for the outdoors,
00:12:23
the appreciation for nature,
00:12:24
the understanding of science,
00:12:26
and appreciation for science,
00:12:28
which we are completely losing right now.
00:12:30
But we won't get into that.
00:12:32
That is a tangent we could probably spend the next hour on.
00:12:38
One of the cool things that I learned from Bill McDonough
00:12:41
is this idea of circular economies,
00:12:43
is that if you are creating a product
00:12:47
that is meant to end up in a landfill,
00:12:49
that's a design problem.
00:12:52
The idea of a circular economy is
00:12:54
you create a product that has both a beginning,
00:12:57
a middle.
00:12:58
Not both.
00:12:59
It has a beginning, a middle, and an end cycle.
00:13:01
And all of those parts of that iPhone, or whatever it is,
00:13:06
don't end up in a landfill.
00:13:07
They get reused,
00:13:09
not necessarily recycled,
00:13:11
but maybe even upcycled.
00:13:13
And so, it's all about design.
00:13:15
How do we design products,
00:13:17
and how do we design a way,
00:13:20
so that way,
00:13:20
instead of being this throwaway culture that we have,
00:13:24
it's more of a, how can we be.
00:13:29
We talked about resource efficiency earlier.
00:13:31
That is pure resource efficiency right there.
00:13:34
Right, right, right.
00:13:35
Well, and I think a lot of people
00:13:38
in the personal journey,
00:13:39
might deal with feelings of guilt,
00:13:42
grief, anger,
00:13:43
or realizing that they actually benefited
00:13:45
from systems they want to change now.
00:13:48
But guilt alone is not the strategy there.
00:13:50
And I can see how you did that.
00:13:51
Right.
00:13:51
The move is:
00:13:52
what can I do now that I can see more clearly?
00:13:55
And I see how that impacted how you inherited,
00:13:59
how you took, rather, an inherited worldview,
00:14:02
to a chosen worldview.
00:14:03
And that's the personal version of sustainable investing.
00:14:07
Right.
00:14:07
Stop letting yesterday
00:14:08
make all of the decisions
00:14:10
just because it got there first.
00:14:12
My wife and I literally were having this discussion yesterday
00:14:15
about not necessarily demonizing the fossil fuels
00:14:21
that got us here.
00:14:22
I mean, at the end of the day,
00:14:24
fossil fuels raise the standard of living
00:14:26
around the world tremendously,
00:14:28
but it doesn't mean that you necessarily
00:14:30
have to continue doing it.
00:14:32
Once you hit that point of realization that,
00:14:35
oh, this thing that got us here
00:14:36
is actually hurting us too.
00:14:38
And, oh, do we actually have
00:14:40
options that aren't less impactful,
00:14:44
negatively impactful?
00:14:47
Yes, we do.
00:14:47
Okay.
00:14:48
But we need to make that transition.
00:14:50
And, it's again, like I said earlier,
00:14:52
it's those legacy industries
00:14:54
that are just holding on as tightly as they can
00:14:57
to their revenue streams
00:14:58
and to those assets that they've got
00:15:00
that are buried under the ground,
00:15:01
that they haven't dug up,
00:15:02
or haven't pumped out yet.
00:15:04
But, no, I think you're 100% right.
00:15:06
It's really important to be able to
00:15:08
just take a step back and say,
00:15:10
you know what,
00:15:10
I'm grateful for what got us here,
00:15:12
but it's not what's going to get us there.
00:15:13
Yeah.
00:15:14
Yep.
00:15:14
Yeah.
00:15:16
It also doesn't tie to,
00:15:18
saying that there aren't bad actors out there.
00:15:22
Right.
00:15:22
It just means we need better standards,
00:15:25
sharper questions,
00:15:26
and fewer moral bumper stickers, let's say,
00:15:29
pretending to be due diligence.
00:15:31
Right.
00:15:32
And the answer to greenwashing,
00:15:34
it's not cynicism,
00:15:35
it's actually asking for better receipts.
00:15:37
Absolutely it is.
00:15:38
And you brought up something earlier
00:15:40
about the generation aspect of this,
00:15:42
and Morgan Stanley does great research on this,
00:15:47
and the latest numbers that came out
00:15:50
are showing that both Gen Z and Millennials,
00:15:54
both are somewhere around 97, 98%,
00:15:56
are either somewhat or very interested
00:15:59
in sustainable investing.
00:16:01
That is a massive departure from, say,
00:16:04
boomers and older generations
00:16:06
that don't really care about it.
00:16:08
Us Gen Xers are somewhere in the middle.
00:16:09
We're in the 80s.
00:16:11
But, that says something because
00:16:14
with your story about ExxonMobil,
00:16:17
there are a lot of younger people, again,
00:16:20
starting basically with Gen X and on down,
00:16:23
that are going to be inheriting trillions of dollars
00:16:26
over the next couple decades.
00:16:31
Their life philosophy,
00:16:32
their value sets,
00:16:33
and value systems
00:16:34
are different than those previous generations.
00:16:37
And, I think what we're going to see
00:16:40
is we're going to see sustainable investing
00:16:42
or values-based investing,
00:16:44
or however you want to phrase it,
00:16:46
is going to become a bigger and bigger and bigger
00:16:50
slice of the overall investing pie
00:16:52
because they look at things so differently
00:16:55
than their previous generations.
00:16:57
Right, right.
00:16:58
And, you know,
00:16:59
that actually gets into the equity thread, right?
00:17:04
Investing as an industry,
00:17:05
we talked about this a little bit before,
00:17:08
still has a representation problem.
00:17:10
And I think any field,
00:17:12
when it's dominated by people
00:17:13
who sound like us,
00:17:14
who look like us,
00:17:15
and inherited some level of credibility default,
00:17:18
it shapes who gets trusted,
00:17:20
who gets hired,
00:17:21
who gets capital,
00:17:22
who gets mentored,
00:17:23
and whose definition of risk is treated as rational.
00:17:26
And you said you've been trying to hire
00:17:29
even more diverse advisors
00:17:32
and the candidates that keep surfacing
00:17:34
still tend to look like you.
00:17:36
What does the sustainable investing world, on that end,
00:17:39
need to confront about representation?
00:17:41
I just think we need to be more intentional.
00:17:43
That's the bottom line,
00:17:44
is we need to be more intentional about education.
00:17:47
We need to be more intentional about outreach.
00:17:50
We need to be more intentional about
00:17:51
overcoming the disinformation that's out there.
00:17:54
That's a big part of my role within the overall industry,
00:17:57
not just at Earth Equity,
00:17:58
but within the industry,
00:18:00
from writing my book, "The Sustainable Investor",
00:18:03
which really overcomes
00:18:05
a lot of the disinformation that's out there.
00:18:08
My podcast,
00:18:09
"Dollars and Change",
00:18:10
which tries to do the same thing.
00:18:13
And when it comes to more diversity in our industry,
00:18:18
it's not just sustainable investing.
00:18:19
I mean, it is investing in general.
00:18:23
And again, it has to be intentional.
00:18:26
We cannot just simply assume
00:18:28
that things are going to change,
00:18:30
or hope things are going to change.
00:18:33
Everybody says hope isn't a strategy, right?
00:18:34
Well, it actually really is true.
00:18:36
Yeah.
00:18:37
I mean, wishing does not, let's say,
00:18:39
redistribute opportunity.
00:18:41
Right.
00:18:41
Behavior, hiring, mentorship, sponsorship,
00:18:44
and changing who gets trusted with money does.
00:18:49
I am so aligned here, that a future economy
00:18:52
that is cleaner but not more equitable
00:18:55
is not a future economy.
00:18:57
It's just yesterday with solar panels plastered on top.
00:19:02
Right?
00:19:03
Spot on.
00:19:03
I mean, that's exactly right.
00:19:07
And I mean, we've taken some steps back in this,
00:19:11
but it probably will give us an opportunity
00:19:13
to really take a look and see,
00:19:15
okay, did we do it right,
00:19:16
or what was wrong that actually maybe
00:19:19
led us to this point where we had to pull back
00:19:22
and so how can we move forward
00:19:24
knowing what we know now?
00:19:26
Right, right, right.
00:19:27
Well, I'm going to take this maybe into
00:19:30
one move that our listeners could run this week,
00:19:32
and I'm going to call it, let's say,
00:19:33
The Money is Building Something audit.
00:19:36
Right.
00:19:36
Yeah.
00:19:37
Maybe it's just open one account,
00:19:39
not your entire financial life.
00:19:41
Don't create a spreadsheet so intense it ruins the weekend.
00:19:45
It makes your dogs avoid eye contact.
00:19:47
But just pick one account:
00:19:50
a 401k, an IRA, a brokerage account,
00:19:53
maybe a donor-advised fund,
00:19:55
foundation allocation,
00:19:56
whatever is most relevant to start with.
00:19:59
And then just ask four questions.
00:20:01
What is this money currently building?
00:20:04
Not what it's called,
00:20:06
not what the historical return is,
00:20:08
but what companies, sectors, behaviors, and assumptions
00:20:11
does it actually pay towards?
00:20:14
Ask then,
00:20:15
is the portfolio pointed at yesterday or tomorrow?
00:20:20
Then I would get into
00:20:21
where am I hiding behind default, right?
00:20:24
Did I choose this?
00:20:25
Did I inherit it?
00:20:26
Did I ignore it?
00:20:26
Or let a provider choose it
00:20:29
because asking questions
00:20:30
just felt tough or inconvenient?
00:20:33
And then finally,
00:20:34
what's one question I need to ask
00:20:36
a financial professional
00:20:37
before I pretend I'm done?
00:20:39
And that's not about shame,
00:20:40
that's actually about agency.
00:20:42
But what would you, Peter,
00:20:44
add or change in that audit?
00:20:47
So, 401ks are probably the hardest one to do
00:20:50
because you're limited by what the employer chooses
00:20:53
that you can invest in that 401k.
00:20:56
So one of the things you can do
00:20:57
is make sure you go to your employer and say,
00:21:00
I'd like a sustainable investing option in our 401k.
00:21:03
That's one thing you can do.
00:21:04
When it comes to your other accounts,
00:21:07
don't judge a book by its cover.
00:21:09
So in other words,
00:21:10
if you've got the XYZ ESG fund
00:21:13
or the ABC Sustainable Fund.
00:21:16
That doesn't necessarily mean that the underlying holdings
00:21:19
are going to be sustainable.
00:21:22
And so there's a little bit of work and due diligence
00:21:26
that goes into that,
00:21:27
but it's actually relatively easy to get online
00:21:30
and find out what the actual underlying holdings are.
00:21:33
That's one of the fun things about my job, is
00:21:35
I get to know all of these different
00:21:38
mutual funds, ETFs.
00:21:40
I also run an individual stock portfolio for our clients.
00:21:43
So I get to really, sort of, dig into
00:21:45
who's actually providing solutions to our greatest challenges
00:21:50
and how do we create portfolios that actually,
00:21:54
can manifest that for clients.
00:21:57
That's actually really, as you can tell, I got excited here.
00:22:00
That really excites me.
00:22:04
And when you talk to a financial advisor,
00:22:07
ask a financial advisor,
00:22:11
you know, don't just ask them the surface questions.
00:22:13
Ask them the harder questions.
00:22:14
Ask them, is there fossil fuels in my portfolio?
00:22:18
And if there is, why?
00:22:20
Because the way we look at it is
00:22:22
if you're owning fossil fuels and sustainable investments,
00:22:24
you're owning both the problem and the solution.
00:22:27
Let's try to get rid of the problem.
00:22:30
And so, you know, ask good questions.
00:22:35
If you do want to do sustainable investing,
00:22:37
there are a lot of people who will say,
00:22:40
yeah, I do that.
00:22:40
But they may not be a specialist
00:22:42
or they may not know the background on it.
00:22:44
So make sure that you find somebody
00:22:47
who actually has spent some time doing it
00:22:49
and who understands the ins and outs,
00:22:51
and maybe somebody who's read my book,
00:22:52
because then they'll really know everything.
00:22:55
Well, it really gets down to
00:22:57
your money that you've invested
00:22:59
is already making a statement.
00:23:00
It's not just the statement
00:23:02
that you get at the end of the quarter,
00:23:03
or the end of every month.
00:23:05
The only question is really knowing about,
00:23:08
is whether you know about what it's saying.
00:23:11
So.
00:23:12
Yeah.
00:23:12
What does it say about you?
00:23:13
At the end of the day.
00:23:14
One of the cool things is
00:23:16
one of my clients came up to me one time and said,
00:23:19
that owned our individual stock portfolio.
00:23:21
And is like,
00:23:21
it is so cool getting my statement
00:23:24
because I can look through all these
00:23:26
individual companies that I own,
00:23:27
and then when I'm at a dinner party,
00:23:29
or I'm at a party,
00:23:31
I can actually brag on what I own in my portfolio
00:23:34
that's actually doing good in the world.
00:23:36
That felt great.
00:23:37
That's fantastic.
00:23:38
All right, Peter,
00:23:39
you know how we end here after all of this,
00:23:41
whether it's sustainable investing,
00:23:43
counterculture, Wall Street,
00:23:45
inherited defaults, equity, scale,
00:23:48
and the question of what our money is actually building.
00:23:50
Is anything real?
00:23:54
Is anything real?
00:23:54
Yeah, absolutely, it's real.
00:23:57
There are companies that actually are founded
00:24:01
on the basis of making the world a better place.
00:24:05
And it takes time to find them.
00:24:08
It takes time to determine
00:24:10
that they're the real deal,
00:24:12
but they're out there.
00:24:14
And, you know, that's pretty much
00:24:16
what I've dedicated the last 22 years of my life to
00:24:20
is helping people who truly want to make a difference
00:24:25
and using a part of their of their assets
00:24:29
that they don't normally think about
00:24:31
as a way that they can make a difference.
00:24:34
Right, right, right.
00:24:36
And I think that's really,
00:24:38
what's real is that money moves.
00:24:39
It moves toward something.
00:24:41
It moves away from something.
00:24:43
And pretending not to choose is often really
00:24:46
just choosing the old world by default.
00:24:48
That's exactly right.
00:24:50
That is exactly right.
00:24:51
Peter, where can folks find you
00:24:53
and learn more about Earth Equity Advisors?
00:24:55
Sure.
00:24:56
Really simple.
00:24:57
Earthequity.com
00:24:58
will take you to our main website.
00:25:02
The book is at
00:25:05
sustainableInvestorbook.com.
00:25:07
Sorry.
00:25:09
And please feel free to reach out.
00:25:12
We love working with folks.
00:25:14
We are continuing to, I think,
00:25:17
improve how we do things here, like,
00:25:20
which is what we always want to be doing.
00:25:22
Right.
00:25:22
And I'm grateful for the few minutes
00:25:25
that we've got to spend here today, Adam.
00:25:27
Yeah, yeah, likewise.
00:25:28
And I would challenge the leader,
00:25:31
founder, or investor who's listening today,
00:25:34
don't let default make your value-based decisions for you.
00:25:38
You know, look at what your money is building,
00:25:39
look at what your leadership is rewarding,
00:25:42
and look at what future your systems
00:25:44
are quietly financing.
00:25:46
And if the conversation hit,
00:25:48
I would also challenge you to send it to someone
00:25:51
who still thinks sustainable investing
00:25:53
is just a side salad for people
00:25:55
who own too much linen.
00:25:57
Right.
00:25:57
And if you're navigating a leadership transition,
00:26:01
whether it's promotion, burnout, reinvention, scale,
00:26:03
or the moment where those old tools stop working,
00:26:06
there's also a 20-minute foundational call
00:26:08
linked in the show notes below
00:26:09
along with everything that Peter mentioned here today.
00:26:12
But Peter, thank you for being here.
00:26:14
This was an absolute power one.
00:26:17
And until next time, for our listeners,
00:26:19
stay grounded,
00:26:19
stay human,
00:26:20
and keep questioning the noise.
00:26:21
But thank you, Peter.
00:26:23
Thank you Adam.
