From solo burden to a team sport: interview with H.G. Chissell

Earlier today, I went LIVE with H.G. Chissell, Founder of Advanced Energy Group and the Carbon League, whose work sits at the intersection of climate ambition and delivery. We explored what it actually takes to turn promises into results — from treating changemaking as a team sport to creating the conditions for accountability, momentum, and measurable progress. Along the way, we stumbled into a bigger question: what if changemaking had leagues, teams, and scoreboards we could all see?If you’d like to go deeper into the work referenced in this conversation:H.G.
