Hey, this is Ross Kenyon. I'm the host of reversing
climate Change. But today this little blurb is
not about reversing climate change.
My friend Michael Gold, we met through the amazing climate Co
working space 90. He started a new podcast.
It's a really cool focus thesis podcast you should check out.
If you've been wondering how to break into climate change work
and don't really know where to go, Michael in collaboration
with Tara dot Do has a great show called Climate Swings where
he asked people how do they break into the business.
That makes it sound like like an LA show business thing.
How do you break into climate work?
A lot of people want to be here. A lot of people feel
vocationally called to this work once they are here.
I feel that way. I really don't want to be
somewhere else if I do not have to be to support my family.
I am very passionate about this work.
If you've been listening for a long time, maybe you already
work in the industry or maybe you'd like to.
Maybe this is a little bit of a a window into what it's like to
be in carbon removal or climate tech broadly.
So if you would like some advice, if you want some
inspiration, listen to Michael's show.
It's new, it's really fun. I was complimenting him on the
show before we agreed to do it and I said the thing that I like
about it is I can hear him smiling when you listen.
I can hear how much warmth he is bringing to the subject and that
makes me smile. I feel cared for listening to
Michael speak. I think it's a really cool,
focused show in this way, and for the right person, it's
pretty much as close to the mark as you're going to get for
transitioning into a climate career.
If you're listening to this right now, you want to break in.
He and I did a show together. He interviewed me about my
experience. If you want to refresher on what
it was like for me to break into climate work, which was 100%
accidental. It's a fun story, lots of twists
and turns and my background's unusual for for the space.
The link is in the show notes. Go check it out.
Support what Michael's doing. Thanks to Tear dot DU for the
support. Thank you to 90 for existing and
and facilitating our serendipitous meeting.
And thanks for everyone out there who is trying to produce
climate communication work that is impactful, that's helping
people in some way, whether that's reducing fear, increasing
agency, often those are pretty linked.
Things are just making us laugh, making us feel good.
And God damn it, I hear that smile coming through.
I just, you know, you're doing good work almost independently
if anything else, if you're putting that out there in the
universe. So thank you, Michael, Really
appreciate what you're doing. Go support him too, if you're
listening. And thanks everyone for
listening to this brief little blurb.
I appreciate you a lot.
