David's early aspiration focused on becoming an oceanographer and student of environmental sciences. While the chose a career path of law and serving as a general counsel for high tech firms, he maintained his love and care for the environment. Now he is combining both to create a toolkit for activists, focusing on how big changes can come from simple beginnings. We talk to him about his career path and how it lead to his work today. We also talk about how to design change by motivating people to do what we can. Finally we talk about how lawyers are people too.
