In this episode, we sit down with Danielle Lee — former climate tech product manager and now founder of the Climate Action Club — to explore her journey from the high-speed world of consulting and startups to the purpose-driven nonprofit space. 

Danielle opens up about the cultural stigmas she had to confront around activism and nonprofit work, and how she redefined “impact” beyond the traditional lens of tech and investing. We dive into why climate tech innovation, while important, isn’t enough on its own — and why building spaces for community, conversation, and collective care is a critical yet often overlooked piece of the climate puzzle. 

Danielle shares how fostering community not only empowers people to act but also helps combat climate anxiety and existential dread. She also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how she runs her nonprofit, the intention behind her biweekly meetups, and how she creates content that connects.

Whether you're navigating climate anxiety yourself or rethinking what climate action looks like, this conversation offers a deeply human and hopeful perspective.
