This week on “The Tie-In,” Zena and Mark feel the groove of “Green Disco,” a company championing sustainability in the music industry! Their CEO, Jonah Geschwind, is inspiring green-thinkers and beyond to embrace the culture and positivity of live entertainment once again by quantifying, reducing, and articulating environmental impact. We need his great ideas, intellect, and energy to get us all thinking about better paths we might take towards greener pastures. This bold individual practices what he preaches, and his team’s data-driven and fan-first approach to business is awe-inspiring!

This week on “The Tie-In,” Zena and Mark sit down with Simran Monga (@thehiecolady) a designer and advocate for sustainability stories told in Television and Movies. She believes the most important space for sustainable change in productions across the world is within film schools. We want the industry to support a future for the bright minds developing their crafts. We can remove stigma by setting a new standard. This effort is something our hosts first developed a passion for when they were in school, and it was thrilling to connect with Simran over shared visions. We see her using a vast knowledge of Bollywood cinema to influence Hollywood, and we look forward to seeing that change reflect both on and off screen. We couldn’t be more excited to cheer her on, and we appreciate all of you who are broadening the world stage for her awesome work!
