Hi, thank you for joining me and us today.

I had such a great conversation with Dr. Ayanna Elizabeth Johnson that I'm very excited to share with you.

She is the author of What If We Get It Right?

And she's talking about the earth, baby.

She is a marine biologist and the leading voice in culture on climate solutions.

I couldn't help but ask her, Dr. Johnson, are we fucked?

And the answer may surprise you.

Come on in.

It's open.

Ayana, thank you for joining me today.

You know, we've been friends for a while now, maybe five or six years from the neighborhood in Brooklyn where you grew up.

But you have since moved to Maine.

Holy moly.

In the past, let me just like catch up.

In the past is no longer the perfect proxy for the future, which I suppose within our entire lifetimes has been a lie, a lie narrative, right?

I think of you as someone who has done...

planet-saving work for so many years, I had perhaps fantasized about this move as like, she's doing it for herself.

Taking back the Earth for herself.

Totally.

Yeah.
