Anyone working in climate can benefit from the frameworks of thinking in this podcast with Dr. Rajiv Shah and Steven Levitt. Why? Because it's about thinking big and bold in times of crisis. Because it's about measuring success well and being transparent about the data, especially on problematic areas. Because it's about getting on the ground and truly operating from a sense of purpose to galvanize teams to do the right thing. Because it's about being creative when problems arise. I was immensely impressed with Dr. Shah. Worthwhile pod. Some great stories too: his story about going into the oval office for the first time, about being at the Gates Foundation at the start of his career. Just listen! Bonus: there's a Steven Levitt aside at the end about how childcare is a thorny issue, because it's expensive, but individuals don't get paid much. And so he opined on how if he were a CEO, he'd offer onsite daycare as a differentiator, and I have seen that happen at Patagonia and agree that it's awesome and would likely get more people in the office. (he's thinking similarly to Jenna Johnson!)
When we make big bets on the right innovations and ideas, we can fundamentally solve some of the biggest challenges facing humanity. That is what I talked to Freakonomics author Steven Levitt about on his podcast “People I (Mostly) Admire.” At a moment when humanity is facing challenges and opportunities of many shapes and sizes, I think our conversation will give you reason for optimism and ideas for how to solve the problems you face.

The story on him befriending Rep James Inhofe is such a testament to listening and developing relationships.
Thanks for sharing Breene Murphy! How do you think these frameworks can be tailored for smaller organizations or startups in the climate sector?
