Brad Zarnett
Co-founder
Brad Zarnett brings a successful track record as a sustainability consultant, entrepreneur and the founder of the world’s largest sustainability speaker series, TSSS. The explosive success of TSSS, launched in 2007, inspired and connected thousands from around the world. While the project was never intended as a business platform and was thus never capitalized for global growth, it was built to inspire and connect in one city/country and it succeeded beyond expectations. Building on that success, Brad is involved in several ventures aimed at shedding light on what's wrong with the current system of commerce which is at the root of today's poly-crisis, and working to help address it.
Team
Advisors
Club Advisors provide insights related to their field of expertise, make introductions, and enrich discussions by "challenging" the core assumptions behind the Club and the 3 Laws, all with the goal of making our efforts more effective and impactful.
Club Advisors come from business, finance, services and academia, and while some have no objection to revealing their identity, others may choose or be limited to helping from behind the scenes, in which case we only present their sector and location. But regardless of their sector or their political stance, they all share the belief that how we do business has to change if we want to achieve sustainable profits and ensure planetary sustainability.
If you'd like to learn more about becoming an Advisor, please contact us.
