Wow. So many new subscribers in the last 30 days!
I’m so grateful that you are joining me on this journey, and we have big plans for 2023!
As we close out 2022, here are 3 of our most popular newsletters so far:
8 lessons from 8 years - Want to read some reflections on 8 years at a regional law firm? This is good stuff (and rather unfiltered).

Also, please share this newsletter with your friends and colleagues. Have you heard that the best thing you can do for climate is help others transition to a climate-focused career? If you’re on LinkedIn, you can share this post with your network.
