How do you go from being rejected by Greenpeace to interviewing the Vice President of the United States?


Isaias Hernandez is an environmental influencer who’s built a huge platform by making climate topics feel human, clear, and actually worth paying attention to.


You’ll hear how he went from finishing his environmental science degree and landing in the corporate world, to creating his own online platform  not by trying to sound like a “perfect expert,” but by being very openly himself and letting that strong point of view attract the right people. We talk about what universities don’t teach you: how to explain climate to regular people without making it feel like homework — and why storytelling, humor, and culture can sometimes land harder than facts alone.


If you’ve ever felt like you don’t belong in the room, this conversation might change how you see your voice, your impact, and your role in the climate movement.
