Featuring Carbon Almanac Contributors Barrett Brooks and David Meerman Scott

Hailing from opposite sides of the US, Barrett from Portland and David from Boston, these two writers talk about their experiences in The Carbon Almanac. Both joined the community very early in the process and were instrumental in the development of the book.

Listen as Barrett and David talk about why they joined The Carbon Almanac and what it is to create and deliver on deadlines within a community that doesn’t follow a traditional structure. Not only that, the community is supported entirely by volunteers. They share how this experience has helped them personally and what they will take away from being a part of it. Finally, we learn the impact they hope this book and movement will have on our global community.

This podcast is a part of the Carbon Almanac Podcast Network.
