    A Willingness to do Something Different

    To close out 2025, I'm happy to share this conversation with Alexis Rife, a colleague & friend whose insights I've long appreciated through her work with fisheries and in facilitation. She shares wonderful thoughts on systems change, relationship building, and what we as individuals can strive to do - and how conservation needs more of us to be willing to do something different. Thanks for being with me, and I'll be back in February 2026! This is a public episode.

    And how do you feel about that?

    2025 is almost over, and so is season 2 of Conservation Realist! In the penultimate episode, I invite you to join me in thinking about how our work makes us feel. I've been going through some existential career musings, and it's helped me get back to the the "roots" of how I'd like to engage in conservation. Please share your thoughts on your own "roots"!

    We Could Be Heroes

    A lot of great learning on conservation (really, any) leadership from Dr. Eric Kaufman, expert of leadership-in-practice based at Virginia Tech. We chat about eco-leadership as a decentralized paradigm of leadership (more focused on community than individual heroes), Inner Development Goals, and cultivating conditions that allow leadership to emerge and thrive!
