Summary

Peter Reinhardt sold his data company Segment to Twilio for $3.2 billion — then turned his attention to the climate crisis. Now, as CEO of Charm Industrial, he’s converting wildfire waste into a liquid that gets injected permanently underground. Matt and Peter dig into the science, the scale challenge, and why the carbon offset market was broken from the start.
