Shownotes

Episode Summary: In this episode, we learn how Seth Godin put an idea into action, how he created a network of contributors, and how he and Niki worked together to publish The Carbon Almanac.

For the summer, we are republishing episodes from other shows within our Network as CarbonSessions is a part of the Carbon Almanac Network of Podcasts 

Each of our shows is dedicated to a unique audience because we want to make sure that no one is left out of the climate change conversations.

For the last episode of this series, we're republishing an episode from the Carbon Almanac Collective. This podcast features conversations with some of the people involved in creating The Carbon Almanac. They share their unique insights and "aha moments" while collaborating on this project to help combat the climate crisis. 

In our 100th episode with Seth Godin, we mentioned an episode where we learned the origin story of the Carbon Almanac, how Seth put an idea into action, how he created a network of contributors, and how he and Niki worked together to publish this Important Book that has not only become one of the Amazon best-selling books of the year but also has been the catalyst for numerous spin-off projects, including this very podcast.

This is the episode we are sharing with you today. 

Hope you’ll enjoy it and see you next with our regular format.

Since you’ve come this far, please show your Aloha

Hawaii has suffered a great tragedy. The deadliest wildfires in the last century. 

Maui-based Carbon Almanac Contributor Richie Biluan wrote “You are important. Your voice is important. Your aloha is significant. If you are on social media, send someone an encouraging comment who you see is going through this tragedy, or any for that matter. Share critical information with your network. Write. Read. And most importantly - love one another.”
