About Brady Walkinshaw:
Brady Piñero Walkinshaw (Twitter: @bradywalkinshaw) is the Chief Executive Officer of Grist (Twitter: @grist; Instagram: @grist; Facebook: @Grist.org; YouTube: Grist TV), a leading national media organization on issues of environment, justice, and sustainability, reaching 2 million readers a month and syndicating content through over 20 major national publications.
Through an award-winning editorial program that explores solutions, exposes injustice, and emboldens readers to act, and a newly launched Networks program that fosters an unlikely network of leaders building a sustainable future that works for everyone, Grist is shining its “beacon in the smog” toward a better tomorrow. Brady is a former State Legislator in Washington State, championing housing, environment, criminal justice, and mental health reforms. In 2016, Brady ran for U.S. Congress endorsed by groups from The Seattle Times to local columnist Dan Savage, who described him as “gutsy and effective.” Brady managed the publication of a 2016 special edition of Foreign Affairs launched at Davos authored by Kofi Annan, Sam Dryden, and Sir Gordon Conway on the future of African food systems and technology supported by the Gates family office. Prior to the Legislature, Brady spent five years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Brady is a Fulbright Scholar and a graduate of Princeton University, where he served on the Board of Trustees. Brady has served on many local and national Boards including the Progress Alliance, Latino Victory Project, United Way of King County, the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund, and previously chaired the Washington State advisory group for the Trust for Public Land.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, this is your host, Kamea. I hope you had a restful holiday season and that your start to this new year has been all of the things that you might need during this time. |
| 0:11.7 | As we move deeper into 2025, first of all, I'm so excited to share the many conversations we already have in the pipeline for you this season. |
| 0:20.5 | So definitely stay tuned |
| 0:22.2 | and make sure you're subscribed to my Substack newsletter, which you can find at camilla.substack.com. |
| 0:29.9 | And I also just want to share that our call for your direct support continues as well, because |
| 0:34.7 | independent media is more important than ever, and every contribution, |
| 0:39.4 | no matter how small or large, really helps us out so much. So if you haven't already, we invite |
| 0:45.0 | you to join our Patreon or Substack membership or contribute a gift of any amount at |
| 0:50.5 | greendreamer.com slash support. If you need a planner for the new year, |
| 0:55.5 | you can also check out our fundraising green dreamer planners |
| 0:58.7 | at greendreamer.com slash shop. |
| 1:01.8 | Thank you so, so much for whatever forms of support |
| 1:05.1 | you're able to share with us. |

| 1:18.4 | And as a result, you just don't have the capacity in newspapers and newsrooms to tell and report stories. |
| 1:24.2 | So I think as a result, like I referenced that Miami Herald example. The Miami Herald |
| 1:28.6 | certainly has the capacity to do awesome reporting on breaking news when hurricanes are coming. |
| 1:32.8 | But the more that we can support local newsrooms and the local media to also be reporting |
| 1:39.5 | on environmental stories, the more that it'll serve, you know, awareness and solving the problem. |
| 1:49.7 | Hey, it's Camilla Shane and this is Green Dreamer, a podcast exploring our paths to |
| 1:55.5 | holistic healing, ecological regeneration, and true abundance and wellness for all. |
