My Honor To Meet Nancy Pearlman, Environmentalist Extraordinaire

I was delighted to meet Nancy Pearlman yesterday, award-winning broadcaster, environmentalist, college instructor, anthropologist, editor, producer, on-air personality, and outdoorswoman.  Nancy safeguards the earth’s ecosystems, both as a vocation and an avocation, having worked with hundreds of conservation organizations, serving as administrator, founder, member of advisory councils, participant, and member of boards of directors.

We met at her house in Los Angeles for an interview which we taped a show for some of her numerous radio broadcasts; I’ll post a link when it’s available.  It was instantly apparent why Nancy has won these awards for her broadcasting.  In the dozens of questions she asked in the half-hour show, she showed a terrific command of the subject (clean energy), and phrased every one of her queries so as to elicit something of value and interest to the listener.  Perhaps most important, I felt a sort of warm kindness in her smile, making me feel very safe and at home, which served to make me even more forthcoming than I would have been if I had felt myself pressured or stressed.

Thanks for the opportunity to be a guest on your show, Nancy.  It was a great honor to meet you.
