Welcome to the week.
We have the one and only Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson on the pod this week to talk about her new book: What If We Get It Right? Visons of Climate Futures (out Sept 17th!). She is, as always, so brilliant and inspiring — listen here!
On to the news!

New Shit Giver CJ is here because “I guess I'm just tired of feeling like people don't give a shit. I know some people are out there doing more than me, but most are doing less (or nothing). I guess I'm just looking to recharge my batteries, before I don't give a shit, either.“
Appreciate you being here!
