2025 was challenging and had so many moments of wasted opportunities to fight climate change, take care of each other, and make the world a better place for all, mostly due to the inhumane practices of the current US administration. However, for every depressing headline, we here at Clouds North got to meet and collaborate with some of the best, hardest working people and organizations, right in our own backyard.

Nonprofits like Wisconsin EcoLatinos and Urban Triage. Folks working hard in conservation like the Mole Lake Tribe and Roger Bindl at RB Farms. Groups looking 20 years or more into the future like Madison LakeWay and Taliesin. Businesses positively impacting our communities like Ian's Pizza and Neutral.

These people and organizations all truly inspired us and we feel blessed and lucky to be both clients and friends with them. We can't WAIT to see all the things they accomplish in 2026. Happy New Year, and let's get out there and make some change!

We'd like to congratulate Holy Wisdom Monastery (our director Bob is married to their executive director, Erin) on their article in the New York Times!

It's so inspiring hearing the stories of people continuing great work in their community despite the amount of tension and negativity in the world. These acts of kindness make our day.

We had the opportunity to capture the magic of Montessori again, this time at Seton Montessori Institute, outside of Chicago! Our director Bob has a personal connection to the Montessori structure and wanted to share a bit about this project. Keep an eye out for the series of videos we've produced for Seton, and thanks to Malee Thor and Tim Olsen for helping us with this video!

We're starting 2025 off with a bang!

Ian's Pizza: one of Wisconsin's (and Seattle's) favorite pizzerias, and now one of our most recent collaborators! We're honored to help capture the magic of The People's Pizza and show how rewarding it is to become a franchise owner of Ian's Pizza. Keep a pie, er, eye, out on our social media for the video in February!

Have you ever wondered how locally-sourced food plays a part in our community? Here in Wisconsin, REAP Food Group plays a large role in connecting local agriculture to our community through several programs. Check out our video to learn more; you might be eating more locally-sourced food than you realize!

At Clouds North, we've had an incredible year, from traveling to NYC for the Luxembourg Gala Dinner, to creating inspirational videos for One City Schools, WAICU, and OneEnergy Renewables, and so many other exciting projects! We're so excited for many more fun projects in 2025, including Ian's Pizza, who we all know and love!

How many of these videos do you remember? Let us know in the comments!
