| 0:00.0 | This is A Sustainable Mind, episode 78. Today we'll be chatting with Pat Schneller, founder of |
| 0:07.3 | 12 tides, a kelp snack company. Yes, I said kelp, as in seaweed, or is it? One thing that actually |
| 0:14.9 | astounded me about this episode was the amount of ocean-related figures of speech and puns that I use on a |
| 0:20.6 | day-to-day basis. |
| 0:21.9 | So anyway, that's fun. |
| 0:23.6 | But before we get into that, I wanted to take a moment to tell you all about an event that we have |
| 0:28.3 | coming up. |
| 0:29.1 | That event is Mass Eco Live, and it is our very first live event. |
| 0:34.1 | It's going to be three days of keynotes, panel discussions, and workshops, and the thing |
| 0:38.7 | that I am the most excited about is the opportunity to interact with you all. Since the beginning |
| 0:43.2 | of a sustainable mind, I've wanted to make conversations about environmental sustainability, |
| 0:47.9 | more inclusive, and now, finally, after five years, we are taking the discussions off of the |
| 0:53.6 | podcast and bringing them directly to you |
| 0:55.8 | live, where you will be able to ask questions and interact with myself and some of our guests |
| 1:01.0 | and even follow along for a couple of the workshops that we'll be having. To get event notifications |

| 1:13.8 | I really hope that you'll join us. Oh, and one more note about today's episode. Unfortunately, |
| 1:19.1 | the audio quality is not the best. I'm totally aware of that, and I do apologize. I have basically |
| 1:25.1 | been place hopping for several, several months now and have finally landed. |
| 1:29.9 | So the audio quality was not the best on this episode. However, I do think that the content is |
| 1:36.0 | really interesting. So I hope that you'll stick it out with me and I hope that you enjoy it. |
| 1:41.5 | Welcome to A Sustainable Mind, where we delve into the minds behind today's most impactful |
