Welcome to Chad's Climate Quest! I'm Chad Frischmann, and I'm on a mission to discover the most impactful solutions that not only tackle climate change but also guide us towards a regenerative future. Climate change is the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced—a crisis of our own making, driven by the greenhouse gases our economies emit. It affects everything, from increasing poverty and food scarcity to creating climate refugees and causing devastating biodiversity loss.
But there's a silver lining. If we must change everything, we have the chance to design a better, regenerative future that benefits both humanity and the planet. Join me as I talk to some of the world's leading thinkers and doers who are dedicating their energy, wisdom, and intellect to solving this monumental challenge in ways that benefit us all.

Why do so many people struggle to take action on climate change, even when they care deeply? In this episode of Chad’s Climate Quest, host Chad Frischmann sits down with Dr. Renée Lertzman, a leading psychologist and strategist, to explore the emotional and psychological dimensions of the climate crisis.
Dr. Lertzman unpacks why fear, anxiety, and even apathy can paralyze us—and how we can transform those feelings into action. Drawing from her decades of research and work with organizations like Google and the World Wildlife Fund, she shares practical tools for building resilience, navigating climate grief, and inspiring action without burnout.
💡 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔️ The psychological reasons people disengage from climate action
✔️ How fear-based messaging can backfire—and what works better
✔️ How to foster emotional resilience in yourself and your community
✔️ Why organizations need to integrate psychology into their climate strategies
