“**Daddy, what have you done to keep Mother Earth healthy?**”  👉 Having a good answer for my kids when this Q hits is my personal North Star.

Over the last decade, I bootstrapped my technical education company to be the market leader (60+ NPS), helped 1,000s of people transition careers, sold the first $2M in revenue by myself, got acquired by the fastest growing EdTech company in the US, and scaled the entire online offering to 8-figures ARR in year 1, leading to a $750M acquisition. 

And learning an unbelievable amount of company-building skills (12 to 500 to 4,000 people).

Today, I use all this experience for my next chapter: 

Transitioning 1M people into the Climate Economy. 

My portfolio:
> I’m on the board of 3 high-impact organizations in climate and education. 
> I mentor impact entrepreneurs through the Edmund Hillary Fellowship.
> I built one 6-figure, one 7-figure, and one 8-figure business.

Astronaut Ron Garan spent 178 days in space and came back with a simple conclusion: we’re living a lie.

From orbit, he saw a fragile, iridescent biosphere wrapped in a paper-thin atmosphere that keeps every living thing alive.

What he didn’t see was our supposedly most important system: the economy.

His message hit me hard as a climate founder:

We need to move from thinking “economy, society, planet” to “planet, society, economy” - only then can we actually evolve as a species.

Imagine designing careers, companies, and policies from that order of priorities.

That’s the shift the climate economy is really about.

Up-skilling 1M people into climate | Founder | Last exit at $750M | I break down climate solutions so 5th graders understand them

Someone just asked me: “How’s it going with getting 1M people up-skilled?” 🤔

My answer: one person at a time.

But the truth is:

We’re making deep progress across the Climate Drift community and our executive program, especially with climate leadership roles.

When one leader lands a climate job, they go on to build teams of 10–50. That’s the leverage play.

On top of that...

I’m advising Work on Climate (30k+ entry-level and mid-level professionals..plus their focus on system wide change is 🔥). 

Thank you to Eugene Kirpichov and Inbal Nachman for letting me be a part of your success.

I'm also serving on the board of AimHi Earth, helping large corporates like PepsiCo, Unilever, Ben & Jerry's, etc. embed circular supply chains... and reach all 300k+ employees through our training soon. 

Thank you to Matthew J Shribman, Sarah Humphrys and team for all the fun we're having together.

I’ve never spelled this out before, but that question made me pause and reflect.

It feels like I'm getting places with my big hairy mission...not because of me, but because of everyone else who enables me 🙏

Let's Go!

And come join us at Climate Drift  😅

Cold applying is dead.

Especially if you are looking for a salary north of $200k.

If you have identified your target list of 15 companies (see my previous post), do not just upload your resume to their portal. 

That is a black hole.

Execute the "Dominate" strategy instead:

1. The Warm Intro: Use your network. 
2nd-degree connections are good. 
Same pre-screened community membership are pure gold. 
You need a champion inside the building before your resume ever hits HR.

2. The Value Add: Don't send a cover letter. 
Send a work sample. 
"I saw you are struggling with X. Here is a 3-page strategy on how I solved X at my last company. The complete deep-dive was published over here [link]."

3. The Relationship: 
Connect with the hiring manager on LinkedIn. 
Engage with their content. 

Be a human, not a PDF.

The goal isn't to get "screened." 

The goal is to get invited for a conversation.

Stop applying. Start networking.

And above all, start building your network before you need it.

PS. I run regular executive level networking events (think speed dating with hand-picked leaders) inside our Climate Drift community.

If you want to get invited, comment on this post + follow me (so I can message you) and I send you the details for the next one.

I have 25,000 followers and posted 1k+ posts! 

And still 👇

- I re-write so many posts.
- I overthink every comment 🤦‍♂️
- Make way too many dad jokes.
- But then I post anyways because "done is better than perfect" (99% of the time).
- I keep cheering for all the amazing work all our Climate Drift members are doing (my favorite part).

A quick thank you for all of you here.

You all make this space feel safe enough so I can show up every day 🙏

Let's go!

Not sure about joining an executive leadership community?
Here's some feedback we received last week 👇

And that feedback is coming from people who've "been there, done that".

They wouldn't share this publicly, if we didn't hit it out of the park.

How does the saying go:

"Want to be in demand tomorrow? Build with the right people today".

(but there gotta be a better saying...

(somebody please help this ESL 🤣)

Thank you for the kind words and everything you're doing: 
Tracy Cheung, MBA, @tessa peerless, Laura van Meer, Oliver Yorke, Nik Baumann
