This episode is about the grind, the toil, the sweat, the slog, the graft, the duty - and things like skills and craft, commitment and creativity. Yes, it’s about work! The green kind. It’s about working in the energy transition. What exactly is a green job? How do I get myself one of those? What motivates folks who have one? And is it the same as a good job? Join us as we talk to people that hold green jobs and those that create the conditions for more of us to have one. 

There are two parts to this episode - this is Part 2.
