This week on “The Tie-In,” we have a very special show for everyone who’s been listening to our chats with the many phenomenal guests featuring in previous episodes. Zena Harris (@greensparkgroup) and Mark Rabin (@mark_rabin) have become champions of sustainability in entertainment, but it was a long, entrepreneurial journey to get where they are. Join us this week as our pioneering hosts look back on their successes and struggles, and help us along the road still untraveled by sharing the episode.

Keep tying in with us as we celebrate the “Sustainable Production Forum” in Vancouver. Get your tickets with this link: https://www.sustainableproductionforum.com/spf-toronto

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!

This Week on “The Tie-In,” Zena and Mark listen to the wise words of the musician magician, AY Young (@aymusik). He’s a rising star and the charismatic Founder and CEO of “Battery Tour.” This series of shows is helping make AY the voice of a generation, as the tour itself is on the #roadto1000 clean energy concerts by Earth Day 2025. He has built his platform around constructing cool beats to the rhythm of climate activism, and he’s promised to continue bringing this important message of change to all upcoming shows. He’s on track to break the world record for most live performances powered by sustainable energy, and we were thrilled to fan out over his revolutionary approach to bringing people joy. He leads with love, and we hope his example inspires other celebrities and fans to be brave, independently minded, and earth community focused. We need ecologically empowered leaders now more than ever before.
