  • #44 Saving the Planet With Storytelling with Ice Climber Will Gadd

    Will Gadd is a living legend in the truest sense. Year after year, he continually pushes the boundaries of ice climbing and, even after having won every major title from the World Cup to the Winter X Games, he continues to push the envelope. Will has also broke the world distance record on a paraglider not once, but three times. He was also the first person to cross the US by paraglider after a gruelling seven-week trip. In 2014, he made several first ascents of Kilimanjaro’s dwindling ice towers. As the glacier rapidly disappears from climate change, he returned in 2020 to make one last ascent. Red Bull sponsored his 2020 trip and documented the current conditions that change everything.

  • #43 Election Edition: Make Democracy Work For the Planet with Elected Officials Protect America

    Dominic Frongillo's story begins with making history as the youngest person ever elected to serve on the City Council in Caroline, New York, and one of the youngest deputy mayors in the U.S. When fracking threatened New York, Dominic organized hundreds of bipartisan local elected officials to ban fracking statewide and transition away from fossil fuels, inspiring governments around the world to ban fracking.

    As a 7-time delegate to the UN climate talks, Dominic co-founded Elected Officials to Protect America to mobilize state and local lawmakers in 50 states for a Green New Deal and federal Climate Emergency Plan. Trained by Al Gore, he was awarded the inaugural Roddenberry Fellowship alongside Occupy Wall Street Founder Micah White and Black Lives Matter founder Alicia Garza.

    His work has been covered in more than 300 news stories including CNN, The New York Times, Forbes, The Guardian, and BBC News.
