In this episode, I spoke with Ozzie Gonzalez, Principal and Owner of P3 Consulting, (people, planet, profit) about his fascinating journey from architecture into environmental consulting. Ozzie has applied his architecture skills to help companies develop sustainability policies and embed social responsibility into their work.
We discuss how Ozzie got started in green building, and expanded into broader corporate strategy during the recession. He shared great insights on working with clients ready for bold change and bringing more creativity into consulting.
I appreciated Ozzie’s perspective on creating rich human experiences through his work. It was wonderful to hear how he lives out his values while guiding organizations to address problems in new ways.
Highlights:
- Ozzie was drawn to architecture as a way to create better human habitats after studying environmental science. He was especially interested in sustainability from the start of his career.
- He started by doing green building consulting for architecture firms before transitioning into teaching sustainability courses during the 2008 recession.
- Ozzie helped develop sustainability policies and standards for global manufacturing companies, allowing him to have impact beyond individual buildings.
- He looks for companies talking boldly about sustainability goals but struggling to meet them as potential clients.
- Ozzie aims to bring creativity into his consulting process through music, art, and playful activities to spark innovation.
- His goal now is helping people have the fullest human experience possible through his work.
