Season 5 Intro - A New Co-Host!?

Season 5 is here, and we have some exciting news. Christy Cook is officially joining Green Champions as co-host! You may already know Christy from her previous guest appearance, and now she's here to stay. If you're missing the voice of former co-host Adam Morris, don't worry. You can still catch him on his podcast, People Helping People, on all listening platforms.

So who is Christy? She's a sustainability consultant and entrepreneur with over twenty years of experience in corporate sustainability, ESG, and customer success, having worked with major players like Walmart, Sodexo, and the UN Environment Program. She's also been a mentor and trusted sounding board for Dominique behind the scenes for years, so this partnership has been a long time coming.

In this intro episode, Dominique and Christy share a little about what makes them tick. Christy's light bulb moment traces back to her time at Emory University, where she got to explore how food systems could create a real sense of place and community on campus and realized sustainability could actually be a career. Dominique's "why" is a little closer to her heart: her family. With relatives living on an island directly impacted by climate change, protecting the planet feels like a personal responsibility, not just a professional one.

Together, they bring different lenses to the work. Christy with her big-picture corporate perspective, Dominique with her engineer's instinct for building processes that are replicable and scalable. As they look forward to Season 5, they promise to explore uncharted territory. From the sustainability of our sports stadiums to the hidden figures in our food systems, all while maintaining the heartwarming, real-world storytelling that has defined the first 100 episodes of Green Champions.
