I did. I did. And it goes back to, so I studied neuroscience in college and I had a genetics professor who was kind of giving his background. And he was like, well, like a career advisor asked me once, what's the most important thing that you should be doing right now? And he said, it's studying the brain and genetics. And so that's what he did. And my answer to that question has always been,

around the climate crisis and everything that's going on in Los Angeles right now has just been sort of like echoing that back to me. And I'm not actually doing anything. I'm not doing anything helpful where that's concerned. And so that also led me to go through an exercise, which I learned from you, which is your mission statement exercise. Can you describe what that is?

But what am I actually good at? And that's kind of more how I thought about using the mission statement exercise. Like how can I leverage what I'm good at to make any sort of an impact? So what I arrived at for my mission statement is I am good at simplifying academic topics through storytelling. That's something that I've always been good at.

I was a tutor in college and I helped people in their science courses who had to take them liberal arts major. It was a requirement to graduate and just tried to use storytelling to explain the academic concepts. I do that at MNN through writing business and finance content, often very academic, but I can make them more palatable through storytelling.

So I think a newsletter is actually a good format for me for this. But where I feel like there is a need is a lot of the people who write about climate write about the very far end of the spectrum in terms of action, which looks like making lifestyle changes that are very dramatic. Like people writing about not flying on airplanes anymore or only wearing hemp.
