Founder Feature
Michael “MikeyJ” Jacobs is an environmental public policy specialist, community organizer, and music sustainability consultant based in Boulder, Colorado.
Currently completing his Master of the Environment at CU Boulder, MikeyJ independently built his capstone by partnering with Z2 Entertainment to develop a 5-year Sustainability Action Plan for their live music venues — aligning his academic work with his long-term goal of transforming the entertainment industry from the inside out. This self-directed approach helped him break into the live-music sustainability space, opening the door to ongoing collaborations with venues, artists, and cultural organizations across Colorado’s music ecosystem.
Grounded in both policy and culture, MikeyJ’s work sits at the intersection of sustainability and collective action by helping artists and venues reduce their environmental impact, deepen community connection, and lead cultural shifts toward a more just, regenerative future.
