Podcast Overview

Most of what you see online right now is naming and shaming. Andrea Learned is doing the opposite. Name & Fame is a podcast about the leaders, places, and projects building a genuinely better future — and about what actually fuels them. Spoiler: it's usually joy. Andrea has spent years as a climate influence strategist watching a specific kind of person: the mid-career professional who has quietly lost track of their own values and their own energy, who is sitting on more potential influence than they realize, and who just needs to see someone doing the thing before they believe it's possible. That's what this show is for. Half interviews with remarkable people you probably haven't heard of yet — mayors, organizers, founders, candidates — and half solo episodes where Andrea shares what she's seeing that the noise is drowning out. If you believe that countering the culture is more powerful than complaining about it, and that visible, values-aligned leadership is the most subversive move available right now — this one's for you. Andrea Learned. Climate influence catalyst. Hype woman. Your permission slip.

SPECIAL | CA Primary Updates & Re-listen, Janelle Kellman

<p dir="ltr">Days before California's primary, Andrea circled back to Janelle Kellman (candidate for Lieutenant Governor) via voice memo to see what's been coming up most in her recent campaign conversations.</p> <p dir="ltr">Here are the three key topics:</p> <p dir="ltr">Janelle makes the point that California doesn't lack ambition, values, or money, but it lacks implementation. While every candidate may bring up affordability, housing, climate, and education, the state needs someone who has actually done the work. </p> <p dir="ltr">Janelle wants to help California understand climate risk before it becomes a crisis, and turn that understanding into real action. Voters on the campaign trail have told her they are experiencing it as higher insurance bills, higher utility bills, wildfire risk, flood risk, and housing pressure. </p> <p dir="ltr">Janelle believes that community college is California's most powerful and underused tool. Free community college isn't about giving something away, but about investing in the workforce the state desperately needs in nurses, electricians, firefighters, building trades, early childhood educators, and clean energy workers. </p> <p dir="ltr">Note: This Q&A leads into the full interview originally released in March 2026.

Dropping the Armor: Helene Cornell on Accessible Leadership In CleanTech

<p dir="ltr">Helene Cornell didn't come up through academia, nepotism, or a Google scholarship. She simply made her way into climate tech rooms by being the most accessible person there. </p> <p dir="ltr">Andrea and Helene talk about how she uses humor (she studied improv!) to make the usually heavy climate conversations lighter, how she learned to connect with speaking audience members, and why she calls herself a nerd whisperer (hint: it's about being able to translate complex hardware to software-focused investors). </p> <p dir="ltr">Along the way, Helene praises the many accelerators and incubators that changed her life, including the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) and Women in Clean Tech and Sustainability. Programs like these gave her mentors for everything from data rooms to pitch decks to VC connections - and that network of purpose-driven people is what made the difference.</p> <p dir="ltr">For our "Name and Fame It Forward" segment, Helene shouts out Laurie McGinley of Via Lucent, crediting her coaching for her newfound ability to tackle imposter syndrome and many other things.</p> <p dir="ltr">Listen, learn, find joy, and please share!</p> <p dir="ltr">Links:</p> <p dir="ltr"><br /> https://www.linkedin.com/in/helene-cornell/</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriemcginley/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriemcginley/</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://www.womenincleantechsustainability.org/">https://www.womenincleantechsustainability.org/</a></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://laincubator.org/">https://laincubator.org/</a></p> <p>Follow Andrea between episodes:</p> <p>https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrealearned/</p> <p>https://bsky.app/profile/andrealearned.bsky.social</p> <p>https://andrealearned.com/</p> <p>Name & Fame was created, and is hosted and produced, by Andrea Learned.
