Hey, this is Ross Kenyon. 
I'm the host of reversing 

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,480
climate Change. 
But today this little blurb is 

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,160
not about reversing climate 
change. 

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,000
My friend Michael Gold, we met 
through the amazing climate Co 

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,600
working space 90. 
He started a new podcast. 

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,520
It's a really cool focus thesis 
podcast you should check out. 

7
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,760
If you've been wondering how to 
break into climate change work 

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,760
and don't really know where to 
go, Michael in collaboration 

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,159
with Tara dot Do has a great 
show called Climate Swings where

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,080
he asked people how do they 
break into the business. 

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,960
That makes it sound like like an
LA show business thing. 

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,480
How do you break into climate 
work? 

13
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,480
A lot of people want to be here.
A lot of people feel 

14
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:45,000
vocationally called to this work
once they are here. 

15
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,840
I feel that way. 
I really don't want to be 

16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,520
somewhere else if I do not have 
to be to support my family. 

17
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,880
I am very passionate about this 
work. 

18
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,320
If you've been listening for a 
long time, maybe you already 

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,360
work in the industry or maybe 
you'd like to. 

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,360
Maybe this is a little bit of a 
a window into what it's like to 

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,240
be in carbon removal or climate 
tech broadly. 

22
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,879
So if you would like some 
advice, if you want some 

23
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:07,360
inspiration, listen to Michael's
show. 

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,520
It's new, it's really fun. 
I was complimenting him on the 

25
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,720
show before we agreed to do it 
and I said the thing that I like

26
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,000
about it is I can hear him 
smiling when you listen. 

27
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,560
I can hear how much warmth he is
bringing to the subject and that

28
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,040
makes me smile. 
I feel cared for listening to 

29
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Michael speak. 
I think it's a really cool, 

30
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,480
focused show in this way, and 
for the right person, it's 

31
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,160
pretty much as close to the mark
as you're going to get for 

32
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:36,800
transitioning into a climate 
career. 

33
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,360
If you're listening to this 
right now, you want to break in.

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,480
He and I did a show together. 
He interviewed me about my 

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,800
experience. 
If you want to refresher on what

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,200
it was like for me to break into
climate work, which was 100% 

37
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,880
accidental. 
It's a fun story, lots of twists

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,840
and turns and my background's 
unusual for for the space. 

39
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,680
The link is in the show notes. 
Go check it out. 

40
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,480
Support what Michael's doing. 
Thanks to Tear dot DU for the 

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,560
support. 
Thank you to 90 for existing and

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,360
and facilitating our 
serendipitous meeting. 

43
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,560
And thanks for everyone out 
there who is trying to produce 

44
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:17,080
climate communication work that 
is impactful, that's helping 

45
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,720
people in some way, whether 
that's reducing fear, increasing

46
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,720
agency, often those are pretty 
linked. 

47
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,720
Things are just making us laugh,
making us feel good. 

48
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,080
And God damn it, I hear that 
smile coming through. 

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,200
I just, you know, you're doing 
good work almost independently 

50
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,840
if anything else, if you're 
putting that out there in the 

51
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,240
universe. 
So thank you, Michael, Really 

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,960
appreciate what you're doing. 
Go support him too, if you're 

53
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,600
listening. 
And thanks everyone for 

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,240
listening to this brief little 
blurb. 

55
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:42,680
I appreciate you a lot.
