    Episode Summary: This episode features a segment from a previous episode where Olabanji shared his experiences hosting a workshop at the AfricaNXT event in Nigeria.

    [FRIENDS] Change Is Here to Stay by Alpaca Tribe

    Episode Summary: This is a rebroadcast from another podcast, 'Alpaca Tribe', in which Steve Heatherington discusses CHANGE
    EPISODE NOTES (original)
    'Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!
    In this episode, I explore change, consider how we approach it and the difference between things we have no control over and things we can affect.
    World scale changes will affect us, maybe not today or even tomorrow, but soon. While we can’t completely control much of anything, we can make an impact through what we do. This includes the climate.
    As always, I encourage you to go spend some time with your alpacas and enjoy the moment.
    Let me know your thoughts.'

Like friends around a table

I love these conversations because questions that I would ask myself are usually asked, and I love hearing the different perspectives from all over the world.

Topic-by-topic I’ve learned about climate change

Each episode breaks down a climate change topic in a way that’s accessible, actionable and easy to understand. I'll often put them on in the car as a way for the whole family to learn together (and to get my grandparents on board with understanding climate change, which before, they did not.)
