On The Grove podcast by Earth Onward, Majid joined host Ho for a wide-ranging conversation about the kelp economy. They covered the timeline of how Majid came to understand the industry, what the kelp space actually encompasses, and why it matters for ecology and biodiversity. Majid brought a storytelling perspective to the discussion, exploring what it takes to build markets from the ground up and run a business in a space where demand, supply chains, and public awareness are all still taking shape. The conversation touched on farming practices, the role of biodiversity, and a few unexpected topics that left a strong impression on the host. Majid's energy and depth of knowledge offered listeners a clear and inspiring introduction to an industry many are encountering for the first time.
