Abigail Stone, a sustainability report writer and German-English translator based in Kansas City, Missouri, was one of the first people I wanted to interview for this podcast. She's smart, savvy and very deliberately expanded her translation career into a specialized writing niche that aligns with her values and her interests.

We talk about how and why she evolved her career, changes she is currently seeing and making and the impact of AI. You'll learn a LOT about the ins and outs of sustainability reports and what it takes to work at such a high level in this field. It's all super-interesting and inspiring. Still, my very favorite parts of this interview are when we get to our love-hate relationship with "morning pages" and how we go about continuing to find joy in our work.

This conversation meant a lot to me for many reasons. Abigail was my very first interviewee, and this conversation showed me just how much fun it is to talk to the people I've known, known of, or shared an industry with for all these years. How wonderful it is to finally sit down and have a lengthy conversation. And how worthwhile this project is.

I found this one truly inspiring, and I know you will, too!
