We’ve talked a lot about the blockchain, NFTs and Web 3.0 on Digging Deeper recently, but there’s a big concern out there over blockchain technology and its carbon footprint. It’s estimated that one Bitcoin transaction uses around 2,100 kilowatt hours. That’s the same energy the average U.S. household uses in 75 days. When the energy source powering the computers that churn out that transaction is non-renewable, more greenhouse gas emissions happen and the environment takes another hit.But Bitcoin is one of hundreds of options for cryptocurrency and blockchain access. And this is where competition makes the market balanced for everyone. There are simply better options out there.Matt Rickard is the co-founder of Task, a Stellar blockchain-based platform that helps companies connect their teams with the organizations social missions. But he is also the co-founder of The Blue Marble, a Steller-based NFTs marketplace. The common thread there is the Stellar-based blockchain which alleges to be faster, cheaper and more energy efficient than typical blockchain based systems.Rickard educated us on the sustainability issue and blockchains, talk to us about The Blue Marble and how brands can be more responsible with NFT work in marketplaces like his and then help us understand the connection between a company, its employees and its social good.This episode is supported by Storyblok, which has a new report to make you smarter.

Public relations is perhaps one of the segments of the marketing world that has changed most in the last 20 years or so. That’s largely because the media landscape has changed and media relations is a big part of the PR world. When traditional journalists, editors and producers are no longer the gate keepers, but you’re still charged with earning coverage and attention for your company, you have to shift with the market.Robert Dilenschneider has weathered the storm and guided many a brand successfully through the last 30 years or so. He founded The Dilsenschnieder Group in 1991. They not only work with many Fortune 500 companies but also provide counsel and strategic advice to leading families and individuals around the world. His new book is called The Public Relations Handbook. It’s a little different approach, though. Robert has sourced the expertise presented in this book from 20 of the world’s top PR thinkers, including himself, of course.He is technically listed as the editor of the book, but when you see the roster of names in this book … my pal Shel Holtz, William Adler, Donna Heiser, Virginia and Michael Kamsky, Sarah Manly Robertson … a Who’s Who of smart thinkers in the industry … you know this is worth the read.

What happens when you put two advertising creatives behind a grill feeding their friends? Discovery by Guy Fieri and your own Food Network show apparently. Mark & Fey … or more formally Mark Anderson and Ryan Fey are The Food Network stars of The Grill Dads . That’s the sizzle.
