This week, we want to tell you about Andrea Learned’s podcast: Living Change: A Quest for Climate Leadership. 

In season one, Andrea interviews local leaders living the change they want to see reflected in their communities, from John Bauters and Alex Fisch on the west coast to Barbara Buffaloe in Missouri.

But she also goes beyond city leaders to find corporate and media professionals leading the way – from CFO’s to Emmy award winners. The conversations highlight how their personal values integrate into their work.

There are some really interesting stories here – we enjoyed it so much we’re highlighting her conversation with Mark Gamba in our feed. 

Mark Gamba’s path into local politics in Oregon is uniquely “Living Change.”

As a professional nature photographer seeing climate change on the landscape in real-time, he had all the motivation he needed to run for Mayor of Milwaukie, Oregon.

Biking for transportation around town, and working to make it safer for anyone else who wants to do it, has become part of his brand.

For local political leaders across the country, Mark’s inspiring journey – and the way he shares it in this episode – is an aspirational model.
