In this eighth episode of the Green Collar Careers Podcast, I interviewed Ryan McPherson, Chief Sustainability Officer for the University at Buffalo. In this interview, Ryan and I discuss his early introduction to the environment, how his career has evolved into working in the sustainability space, the importance of informational interviews and leveraging your institutional networks. I enjoyed really speaking with Evan. I know you’re going to love this episode.
