6 days ago
What happens when you refuse to choose just one path? On The Ampersand Manifesto, host Jessica Wan sits down with “the most interesting people at the dinner party” – those who have built thriving careers in two or more completely different worlds, from medicine & dance to technology & art. Through candid conversations, we explore what it takes to navigate multiple callings, find the connection points between them, and redefine success on our own terms. Together, we’re co-creating The Ampersand Manifesto – a guide to leading a bold, multi-passionate life.

Fostering Courage with Josh Willis, NASA Scientist, Improv Guy, and Climate Elvis

Episode description:

In our final episode of Season 3, Jessica speaks with Josh Willis, actor, improviser, filmmaker and occasional Elvis impersonator. 

Known to his friends and fans as Climate Elvis, he also has a secret identity: Josh is a climate scientist who studies global warming for NASA. He's the lead NASA scientist for the satellites that measure sea level rise from space. He worked on a project called Oceans Melting Greenland, or conveniently, OMG for short, where he led an airborne mission to Greenland to understand how the oceans were melting away Greenland’s ice from below. 

Josh studied physics and mathematics at the University of Houston and earned his PhD in Oceanography from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He's a graduate of the Conservatory Program of The Second City Training Center and teaches improv in the LA area at Turbine Arts Collective.

This is our last episode of season 3, and what a season it's been! 

We started off with a conversation with Rich Lyons, Chancellor of UC Berkeley + Musician – all the way back in July, and have talked with an aspiring Olympian, several authors who straddle other worlds, and a meditation teacher who's created art with Björk. 

We're going to be taking a holiday break and will be back with new episodes in early 2025. Take this chance to catch up on episodes you might have missed, and if you want to give some extra love, leave a rating and review so more people can find out about this show. 

Have a beautiful, safe, and peaceful holiday season.
