This special episode of The Business of Aquaculture is released in honor of David Fincham, who has recently passed away.

David was the Director of tilapiafarming.co.za, where he worked to support and help build tilapia farms across Africa. His contributions to the aquaculture industry were rooted in practical experience, mentorship, and a commitment to strengthening aquaculture businesses.

In this episode, David shares how he entered the aquaculture industry, one key insight that can make a meaningful difference for business aquaculturists, and his most important lesson from his years in the field.

This conversation is shared as a tribute to David’s work, his knowledge, and the legacy he leaves within the aquaculture community.

In Season 14 of Before the Tipping Point, we dive beneath the surface—literally and strategically—into one of the most underestimated climate solutions of our time: seaweed.

This season explores how seaweed networks, AI-enabled systems, and regenerative aquaculture are reshaping food systems, carbon strategies, and climate leadership. At the center of these conversations are ecopreneurs, scientists, and operators who aren’t waiting for permission to act—they’re redesigning industries from the inside out.

Our opening episode features Majid Hajibeigy, ecopreneur and CEO of Canadian Pacifico Seaweeds in British Columbia. With a background from the University of British Columbia and hands-on experience in sustainable food production, Majid brings a systems-level perspective to one urgent question:
How do we turn agriculture—from a major source of emissions—into a driver of climate positivity?

Throughout the season, we explore:

• How seaweed networks can address global climate and food challenges
• The role of AI in scaling sustainable aquaculture responsibly
• What measurable climate impact actually looks like (beyond buzzwords)
• How purpose-driven companies balance innovation, growth, and environmental stewardship
• What it takes to build businesses that work with nature, not against it

This season is for climate leaders, sustainability professionals, investors, policymakers, and innovators who understand that sustainability isn’t a side project—it’s the operating system for the future.

🌱 Because before the tipping point… there’s still time to build what comes next.

This special Christmas episode of The Business of Aquaculture Podcast is all about reflection, meaning, and building authority that actually lasts.

As the year winds down, many leaders are asking the same question: How do we turn sustainability from a talking point into real trust, real traction, and real revenue?

To explore that, I’m joined by Joshua B. Lee, one of the Top 3 AI-ranked LinkedIn experts (as cited in his professional profile). Joshua began his career in the wild-west era of the internet with early clients like MySpace, later scaling campaigns across Google and Yahoo, managing nearly $1B in ad spend and 35 trillion impressions. By age 28, he had achieved three exits—only to discover how quickly success can disappear. That reset taught him a powerful lesson: the real game isn’t metrics, it’s meaning.

In this Christmas conversation, we unpack:

• The fastest path from ESG talking points to measurable pipeline on LinkedIn
• What a 90-day personal brand shift toward sustainability leadership actually looks like—content cadence, formats, and CTAs
• How to audit a sustainability narrative to remove greenwashing without losing momentum
• Why “youmanizing” online connections is the key to becoming the trusted answer buyers see first

This episode is an invitation to close the year with clarity—and step into the next one as a stand-out, trusted sustainability authority.

Consider it a Christmas gift for founders, executives, and sustainability leaders who want their impact to be real, human, and measurable 🎄
