Behind the Scenes: From Living Change to Name & Fame, with Maria Paleologos

Behind the Scenes: From Living Change to Name & Fame with Maria Paleologos | ~17 minutes

Before the interviews start, a little origin story.

In this pre-season conversation, I sit down with Maria Paleologos — producer of my 2023 podcast Living Change: A Quest for Climate Leadership — to talk about what's changed, what's carried over, and why I'm back with a new show built around a single stubborn belief: that joy is a strategy, not a reward.

We get into what Name & Fame is really for, why I think amplifying the good is more powerful than cataloguing the bad, and what it looks like when leaders stop waiting for permission to be visible about what they care about.

If you're new here, this is a good place to start. If you've been following since Living Change, welcome back — and yes, we're going further this time.

Enjoy this one? Send it to someone who needs a little joy right now — and start naming and faming the leaders in your world who deserve more credit.

Created, hosted, and executive produced by Andrea Learned. Edited by Syd Gladu. Produced with Maria Paleologos.
