From being laid off during the 2008 recession to co-founding multiple companies and working at the intersection of green buildings and technology, Charlie reflects on the moments that shaped his leadership philosophy.\nThe conversation explores what sustainability really means beyond certifications, how leaders can stay coachable through growth and exits, and why long-term impact matters more than short-term wins. Charlie also opens up about mentorship, managing stress as an entrepreneur, building companies with intention, and the mindset shift required to move from success to significance.\nThis episode is a grounded, thoughtful discussion for leaders, founders, and anyone navigating a career pivot while trying to build something that actually matters.\nLearn More About Charlie Cichetti:\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charliecichetti/\nskema.ai: https://www.skema.ai/ \n\nMentioned in this Episode: \nAtomic Habits by James Clear: https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits \nBuy Back Your Time by Dan Martell: https://www.buybackyourtime.com/ \nU.S. Green Building Council: https://www.usgbc.org/ \nLEED: https://www.usgbc.org/leed \nGreen Building Matters Podcast (featuring Angela Gill Nelms): https://open.spotify.com/episode/4x6238kGvPCnH7lkFGVJRp?si=rOuq7RPJSsi8HqS-lAB9Aw \nJohn Maxwell levels of leadership: https://www.maxwellleadership.com/co/the-5-levels-of-leadership/ \nThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey: https://www.franklincovey.com/courses/the-7-habits/ \nProduced by: The AGN Group\nHost: Angela Gill Nelms\nProducer: Katie Hart\nTagline: Be Brave.
