Episode Summary: for the 100th episode of Carbon Session, we are thrilled to be joined by one of the most acclaimed best-selling authors Seth Godin, the ‘Host’ of the Carbon Almanac book. This influential project birthed numerous offshoot endeavours, including this very podcast!

In this insightful and intimate conversation, Seth touches on a wide range of topics including:

• how The Carbon Almanac is a project that has changed Seth “almost at the molecular level”
• his observations of what is going well and not so well in the realm of climate change
• how to elevate conversations when there are valid disagreements on both sides
• two significant changes that he's realised have an enormous impact on climate change (cows and flying)
• the need for creating cultural change that is focused on resilience and equity in addressing climate issues
• why it might be necessary to seek out solutions that require considerable effort and aren't always convenient
• what keeps Seth up at night (climate refugees and the global food system)
• how personal action can trigger systemic change (leaf blowers and community action)
• the concept of “page 19 thinking”
• strategies for challenging and changing the status quo (exemplified in the field of dentistry)
