    The Climate Shift: Action, Optimism & What Matters Now

    This is an edited version of the live Aug. 5 panel featuring all of the season five guests. Take a break from your daily grind and join Climify host Eric Benson for an energizing conversation that redefines what it means to be hopeful in the face of the climate crisis. Featuring a dynamic panel of changemakers — Ann Therese Genari, Jenny Morgan, Kate O'Neil, Cate Mingoya-LaFortune, Cynthia Leung, and Dr. Dana Fisher — this event invites you to explore the power of climate optimism not as blind hope, but as a courageous commitment to action. Together, we’ll unpack what optimism means, why it’s essential to resilience, and how we can move from theory to practice in our personal and collective lives. We'll discuss how to set—and revisit—boundaries to sustain our energy and values, and explore how strength and perseverance can manifest differently depending on our perspective. Whether you're a seasoned advocate or just starting your climate journey, The Climate Shift offers a space for honest conversation, renewed energy, and a path forward grounded in community, agency, and possibility. Bring your favorite drink to connect, reflect, and co-create what comes next.

    (Crossover with the Hey Change Podcast) What We Can Do – The Art of The Possible with Charlie Sellars

    We are excited to bring you another great podcast crossover with the Hey Change Podcast hosted by season 5 guest Anne Therese Gennari. A Climate Optimist’s Guide to Sustainable Living Join Anne as she brings new life to the Hey Change Podcast and kickstart Season 5 with Mr. Climate Optimism himself - Charlie Sellars! Charlie Sellars is the director of sustainability at Microsoft and, most importantly, the author of the newly released book What We Can Do: A Climate Optimist's Guide to Sustainable Living. His book pulls from his experience at Microsoft to empower people on climate across their personal, professional, and political lives. He helps us realize that all of us are more powerful against climate change than we think, and that while nobody can do everything, everybody can do something. His book offers pragmatic, data-driven evidence to help direct us to where we can have the most impact across everything we do. In this conversation, they explored the journey of sustainability, especially as it relates to companies and careers, emphasizing that every job can contribute to climate action. They also discuss the importance of maximizing opportunities in sustainability rather than focusing solely on minimizing our negative impacts. Additionally, they explore the balance between individual responsibility and corporate accountability in sustainability efforts. For example, did you know your tabs consume energy, even when you’re not using them? Or that most Xbox users leave their games unattended, wasting energy when the console could be switched off? This and the role that choice architecture among smart design plays in creating pathways for a more mindful existence are just a few of the things covered in this empowering conversation. Two climate optimists coming together to plant seeds for radical change — this is a conversation you don't want to miss!
