In this episode: Katie Miller and Ace Doligosa interview Russ Walsh, a tech industry veteran who took on a global challenge—solving sea level rise. Inspired by a call-to-action from GE’s CEO during the COVID-19 pandemic, Russ developed a bold concept: redirect ocean water to transform deserts into thriving, green ecosystems.

What you’ll learn in this episode:
✅ How redirecting water could save cities like Miami and Cape Canaveral from flooding
✅ The potential to revitalize deserts in the Sahara and Australia
✅ Creating economic growth through man-made lakes, kelp farms, and houseboat living
✅ The environmental benefits of mangroves and carbon sinks
✅ Funding, engineering, and political challenges ahead
✅ Why global collaboration is essential to make it happen

💡 This episode isn’t just about preventing disaster—it’s about turning a climate crisis into a visionary opportunity for sustainability, economic development, and global unity.
