You know those moments in life that just knock the wind out of you?

The ones that force you to figure out who you really are, whether you wanted to or not.

That's what Hard Knocks is all about.

It's hosted by Amanda Knox.

Yes, that Amanda Knox.

And it's a show about resilience, self-discovery, and finding meaning after chaos.

Each week, Amanda talks with fascinating guests, writers, scientists, artists,

and thinkers, all exploring how we rebuild ourselves when life goes sideways. She brings humor,

honesty, and the kind of perspective you only earn by surviving the unimaginable.

If you're into conversations that makes big ideas like mindfulness, agency, and joy with

raw human stories that actually

make you feel something, you'll love Hard Knocks.

I'm Amanda Knox, and you're listening to Hard Knocks.

Music And you're listening to Hard Knocks. Today on Hard Knocks, I interview Isabel Boemke, a model-turned nuclear energy influencer who is advocating for climate solutions through a mix of science, communication, futurism, and performance art.

She is the author of Rad Future, the untold story of nuclear electricity and how it will save the world.

And a big shout out to one of our top subscribers and friends, Cannon for introducing and facilitating

this conversation, which is all about advocacy for, you know, common sense solutions to the

climate change crisis, but also conversations about personal agency and how any one of us can actually feel like we can be a part of

solutions to big problems instead of feeling cynical and discouraged. So enjoy. Thank you so much,

Isabelle, for being on hard knocks. Could you, in brief, introduce yourself to our audience?

So my name is Isabel Bemicki. I'm a Brazilian former fashion model and maybe the world's first nuclear energy influencer.
