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.

Saad Amer is not your typical climate activist. He’s a Harvard-trained environmental justice advocate, co-founder of Plus1Vote, a United Nations consultant, an expert reviewer for the IPCC — and yes, he’s also appeared in Vogue.
In this episode of Chad’s Climate Quest, Chad Frischmann sits down with Saad for a dynamic conversation on how climate action intersects with culture, fashion, politics, and science. Together, they unpack why we need more glamor in the climate movement, how activism actually creates systemic change, and why youth voter turnout may be one of our most underutilized climate solutions.
You’ll hear:
Why Saad proudly calls himself an “activist” — and why that still matters
How beauty, social media, and storytelling can help us reach beyond the climate echo chamber
The emotional toll of activism and how young leaders can protect their joy and energy
A bold vision for a regenerative, equitable future — and how we can get there
💬 “This isn’t just about stopping emissions. This is about transforming everything — and doing it fabulously.”
