Cool tech hot problem
In this episode of High Agency, we sit down with Manik Suri, founder and CEO of GlacierGrid, a climate tech company tackling emissions through an unexpected source: commercial cooling. Manik takes us from the West Wing to the grid, sharing how he went from working in Obama’s White House to building tech that helps restaurants, retailers, and hospitality giants like McDonald’s and Marriott reduce energy use, cut food waste, and fight refrigerant leaks, all through smarter HVAC and refrigeration systems. We explore what it means to scale a startup that intersects AI, IoT, and climate in a world increasingly divided on sustainability, and why sometimes the boldest move is just to start, even if you don’t know how it ends.

Telling the lion's story
In this episode of High Agency, we sit down with Mwihaki Muraguri, founder of Paukwa House, a storytelling platform dedicated to reframing African narratives from the inside out. With a background in public health and two decades of experience across sub-Saharan Africa, Mwihaki pivoted into storytelling to challenge stereotypes and celebrate the everyday heroes shaping Kenya’s cultural identity. We explore the power of narrative in driving justice, the role of youth and language in digital storytelling, and how authentic voices are reshaping how Africa is seen—by the world, and by emerging technologies like AI.
