VG CEO Hosts Climate Panels at Coachella
Drew Shula, Verdical Group’s Founder & CEO, was invited to speak at Coachella as part of the Global Inheritance Speaker Series. He hosted two panels featuring climate influencers who spoke about their role in creating positive change and how they inspire their followers to take action.
The Weekend 1 panel, which took place on April 11, was entitled “Influencing for Good: Platform for the People.” The climate crisis is an education problem — we have the solutions we need, we just aren’t implementing them yet. Influencers have a unique opportunity to use their platform to engage their community and share resources at scale. In this panel, climate influencers discussed their various perspectives on the opportunity to inform and inspire their followers to take action. The lineup included Nava Rose (@thenavarose), Lauren Bash (@ReLauren), and Alex Shadrow (@sustainabae).
The Weekend 2 panel, “Sustainable Lifestyle: Nature-Inspired Innovation,” took place on April 18 and explored diverse perspectives on practical ways to integrate sustainability into your day-to-day life. The panel delved beyond simple swaps like using reusable straws to address your purchasing power at the individual level as well as the deeper, systemic changes needed to live sustainably in 2026. Panelists included Julia Marsh (@swaythefuture), Nelson ZePequeno (@zznelsonzz), and Aman Sharma (@birds_of_india_).
