Pssst. We have a secret that’s out of the bag.
If you follow us on Instagram, you may have seen pics of us in the studio or teasing our new project.
Meet City Rising, a podcast that compares how different cities are approaching sustainability and climate solutions. City Rising is co-hosted by me, Julie Hancher, and my friend Brady Halligan, formerly of the GREEN Program. It totally made sense to partner with Brady on this series – this is just one reason:
Together, we take turns interviewing guests from various cities to discuss how our environment is connecting people, planet and creates future opportunities. We each explore one topic (for example, green buildings) for two episodes, interviewing two guests from two different cities working on the issue. In each episode, you’ll hear one of those interviews along with practical tips to become a little more sustainable.
We’ve been in the studio over the summer working on the podcast, so have season one ready for you.
Stay tuned for more exciting upcoming topics and guests!
Episodes will drop weekly on Wednesdays starting October 3rd.
To celebrate, we’re hosting a breakfast meet and greet on Wednesday, October 3rd. Join Brady and me at WeWork 1601 Market from 8:30 – 10 AM. RSVP here.
