44: Passion, Storytelling, and Doing the Right Thing

Author, Order of Canada recipient and Environment Canada senior climatologist David Phillips shares the lessons he's learned from a lifetime of storytelling and engaging audiences. Phillips has turned his fascination with weather history and trivia, his infectious enthusiasm, and his communications expertise into a platform for promoting and practicing environmental sustainability. In this engaging conversation, he talks about how to develop a passion for what you do, the solution to the climate crisis, how entertainment opens the door to hard news, and why he has no plans to retire. He also shares his favourite weather stories from a collection of 33,000, including one profound moment in Canadian weather and political history.
