Welcome to Season 2 of the climate change careers podcast, How We Got Here! We are so pleased to kick it off with the incredible Risalat Khan, who—get this—is a campaigner. No, he doesn’t work on political campaigns, but on campaigns to convince the world that we can and should live in a more just environment. And YES he does get paid!!! Join us as we take a winding path (how did we get here, am I right?) through Risalat’s journey from being named Bangladesh’s top teen event-planner-extraordinaire, to striking up an email convo with his future employer, to leaning into his Myers-Briggs identity. And boy do we talk Myers-Briggs. #StephIsSuchAnINTJYou can follow Risalat on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/risalat_k">here</a>.To help with climate-change-induced flood-relief efforts in Southeast Asia, please consider donating to:<a href="https://go.bracusa.org/donate" target="_blank">BRAC</a>: A Bangladesh-based global nonprofit<a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/solidarity-appeal-for-flood-victims-in-pakistan" target="_blank">Women Democratic Front</a>: A Pakistani feminist network working on flood relief efforts
