Coming Soon

I've been incredibly busy with my new job at LinearB launching Dev Interrupted and put my Growing the Green Economy Podcast on temporary hiatus - but we're back now! I've got three episodes recorded, including a new episode, recorded yesterday, and I'm stoked to keep talking about how we can confront the climate crisis together and - prosper as individuals and as a community.

Conor Bronsdon | Green Economy & Tech@ConorBronsdon

Had the opportunity to talk to Dr @SylviaEarle today for @greeneconomypod about the blue-green economy, protecting the ocean, & how we can combat climate change - as well as her new book. The work she's doing with @MissionBlue is incredible, can't wait to put this episode out.
