Episode 2: Interview with Amanda McKenzie - Building Australia's Climate Voice

In this much-anticipated episode of Taught, Not Told, I sit down with Ms. Amanda McKenzie - co-founder and CEO of the Climate Council, trailblazer for youth climate advocacy, and one of Australia’s leading voices on the fight for a livable future.

From starting out in law to co-founding the Australian Youth Climate Coalition, to building Australia’s most trusted independent climate communications body, Amanda’s story is a powerful reminder that real change is a marathon, not a sprint - and that every one of us has a role to play.

We talk about the emotional toll of climate advocacy, what keeps her grounded, and why empowering the next generation is so vital for the road ahead.

Tune in for an honest, hopeful conversation about courage, community, and the wisdom that comes from standing up for what matters.
