Adam Crum brings some serious Alaska energy, literally and figuratively, as he sits down with Chuck to talk about where the state’s headed and how he thinks it can get there. He opens up about everything from playing football at Northwestern to steering Alaska through COVID, all the way to why he thinks the state’s future depends on smarter energy development, fixing outdated policies like the Jones Act, and protecting the culture that makes Alaska, well… Alaska. It’s a mix of big ideas, real talk, and a few stories you probably haven’t heard before, all centered around what it takes to lead and build a sustainable path forward for the Last Frontier.
