Welcome to the Rumbling Facts Podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into a compelling journey with Jon Pabon, a sustainability expert whose extensive experience spans from business consulting to United Nations advisory roles. Listen in as Jon shares his transition from political science to becoming an influential figure in the world of sustainability, offering unique perspectives on how businesses can balance economic growth with environmental responsibility. Discover how his unexpected career trajectory, including a transformative stay in Shanghai, shaped his approach to advocating for our planet's health from within the corporate world, rather than taking on the traditional activist mantle.

Our conversation with Jon doesn't shy away from the intricacies of sustainability and the challenges it presents across different spectrums. Tune in to hear about the stark differences in sustainability implications between developed and developing nations, the often-conflicting definitions of sustainability among professionals, and the urgent need for clear communication about climate change. We also dissect the critical role of networking, communication, and genuine human connections in making sustainability relatable and actionable, as Jon reflects on his choice to use a conversational writing style and bold titles to capture attention in a field that can sometimes feel distant or academic.

The dialogue takes a turn to discuss the media's influence on public opinion and the troubling practice of greenwashing, with Jon pulling insights from his book "The Great Greenwashing." Learn about the manipulative tactics some companies employ to appear eco-friendly and how consumers can remain vigilant. We also celebrate companies making authentic strides towards sustainability and underscore the significance of consumer awareness in driving change. To round out our talk, Jon touches on his social media presence, particularly on TikTok, where he engages in nuanced discussions on sustainability, inviting listeners to follow along for deeper insights.
