meet the guests - their formative moments
episode description:
What we discussed: Systems pervade our everyday life and often go unnoticed. Yet making the world more sustainable requires system change. I asked each of our guests to describe when they first noticed the systems that they work within and to describe their formative moments that set them onto their careers.
Why it matters: These formative moments become part of how each guest approaches problem solving in their unique way. They frame the thinking and the context of how each approaches the climate crisis.
What it means for you: Each one of us has a formative moment. I ask that you, dear listener, reflect on yours. When did you notice the system? More importantly, when did you decide to do something about it? I hope that the six stories in Season 3 will offer inspiration to help us implement our own climate and sustainability strategies.
