Jasper - The legacy we leave as parents. Making change at work. Local wins: EVs and recycling. The slow burn of national change. Creating time to take action. Technology advocate in nature.

Jasper is a dentist who lives in Adelaide with his wife and young son. He enjoys working with technology but more and more he's making the big shift to see himself as part of an ecosystem.

Jasper has a reputation as such an effective operator that people are baffled - how does he get it all done?

He wears many hats, and he does this for a reason. We're going to talk about how he juggles 4 areas of climate work:

- At work - How he's making change in the dental industry

- Helping spread EV uptake in Adelaide

- Solving local recycling problems

- Transforming schools into resilience hubs through the solar our schools program

Juggling all these projects - how does he manage the slow burn of gathering allied voices for national change? How has he figured out how to make easy local wins? And after all this, how has this work changed him? It all goes back to how he got started.
