I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent

0:07.9

podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those

So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out.

0:26.8

We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast.

And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at
