Climate Careers returns with an episode that proves sustainability leadership can emerge from unexpected places.

Today's spotlight falls on Eric Distler, whose remarkable 13-year sustainability journey began not in environmental studies, but in finance and accounting. Now overseeing sustainability initiatives at entertainment powerhouse AEG, Eric's path weaves through influential roles at Nike and the Green Sports Alliance, where he pioneered green solutions in high-visibility industries that reach millions.

Hosted by Voiz Academy's Head of Marketing and Co-founder Anita Kelava, this episode unpacks how entertainment venues, sporting events, and cultural gatherings can become powerful platforms for environmental messaging and operational excellence.
