In this Tiny Climate Challenge episode, we learn to create environmental and social impact with our Guest Expert Taylor Leigh Cannizarro.

Guest Challenger Bio
Meet Taylor Leigh Cannizzaro, Chief Alliance Officer at Plastic Bank, an economic development firm monetizing plastic waste to provide an opportunity for the impoverished to collect and trade plastic as a currency. Her visionary leadership skills and the ability to develop exponential relationships further Plastic Bank’s initiatives to empower a regenerative society that stops ocean plastic and alleviates poverty.
Taylor’s passion to create a world that works developed over a career as a molecular-oncology scientist driving better diagnostics and treatment via new testing and company launches. As a certified yoga instructor and health coach who learned marketing and sales, she then built the influencer program at Neurohacker Collective. With her years of leadership and communication training, she is empowering people to actualize the environmental and social impact they’ve been dreaming of. She believes it's “kairos time” to protect the planet and its inhabitants.
She is a surfer, yoga connoisseur, an avid student of transformational learning, and avant-garde for the oceans.
