Episode description

Meet Shannon Dobbs, former nightclub owner, systems thinker, and fierce advocate for climate resilience. His path is anything but linear:

- Army Psychological Operations

- Running Nevada’s top LGBTQ+ nightclub

- Donating 17,000 sq ft to tackle a food desert

- Fighting off resistance from nonprofits and food lobbies

- And now… pushing to bring water-growing soil tech to the U.S.

But this story isn’t just about soil.

It’s about systems that resist change, and the people who dare to push back anyway.

Listen to this week’s Now Boarding and get a front-row seat to one man’s journey from scarcity to circularity.
