    Justin Winters of One Earth

    Justin Winters of One Earth

    In this episode, I can speak with Justin Winters, the Co-Founder and Executive Director of One Earth, a non-profit working on solving the climate crisis through energy transition, nature conservation, and regenerative agriculture. We talk about the responsibilities of individual nations on the climate crisis, the biggest levers we have, and why we should all feel positive about our climate goals. 
     
    We also talk about One.Earth, the first-of-its-kind online database of vetted climate change projects currently seeking funding, an incredible tool to find and support on-going non-profits and initiatives.

    Kim Wheeler of The Red Wolf Coalition

    Kim Wheeler of The Red Wolf Coalition

    In this episode of the podcast, I chat with Kim Wheeler, the Executive Director of The Red Wolf Coalition. We speak about the last of the Red Wolves in existence, the struggle of getting people to not fear Red Wolves, and the dangers of her job as a wolf defender (she has been run off the road by another car, no kidding).
    Quick note, I asked Kim a few very specific questions about Red Wolf population trends, releases, and mortality, and she directed me to U.S Fish and Wildlife's great new website on Red Wolves. To see releases over time, scroll halfway down to the Summary of releases section.

    Mountaineer, author, and filmmaker Rick Ridgeway

    Mountaineer, author, and filmmaker Rick Ridgeway

    Rick Ridgeway could be one of the most incredible people I have spoken with.
    He's the man The Rolling Stones called "the real Indiana Jones. He's the 2008 recipient of National Geographic’s “Lifetime Achievement in Adventure”. He's a lifelong adventurer, filmmaker of over 30 documentaries, has climbed virtually all of the world's highest peaks on all continents—including Everest. He had the third summit of K2, a climb more dangerous than Everest. He's the former VP of Public Engagement at Patagonia and author of six mountaineering classics, including most recently, his recent incredibly emotional, evocative, and incredibly inspiring memoir Life Lived Wild.
