What Exactly is Gamification? Ep82
In this episode, I explain the precise definition of how I see gamification. It's essentially tracking progress towards a goal, and rewarding people for making progress. This episode is a neat nugget of the core measurement-driven gamification principles you can use for making climate and environmental action happen.

Top 10 Biggest Mistakes You Might Be Making Ep81
Did you know that the vast majority of environmental professionals have NO training in the job they are hired to do? That's the job of human influence. Environmental scientists, engineers, and lawyers are often hired for the job of influencing thousands of people to take action to meet sustainability goals, yet our training is in, well, science, engineering, and law - not the psychology of change.
This means most of us working on environmental change make big mistakes when trying to influence people - and we don't realize it. This goes all the way up the food chain to major NGOs and government departments that are spending millions of dollars on campaigns that hardly move the needle.
The science of human persuasion and social change requires an entirely different skill set. In the episode, I share the top 10 big mistakes I see most environmental advocates making, from the lens of evidence-based environmental psychology and my 20 years designing environmental change tools for some of the biggest (and smallest) environmental movements on the planet.

ECOPIA: We Need Child-Centric Community Housing Ep79
In today's episode, I introduce a new endeavor I've been secretly burrowing away at. It's called ECOPIA and it's my ultimate dream project. ECOPIA's mission is to create child-centric properties that are built and designed for families to raise children together, as it's meant to be done, in groups (and with all the eco-friendly, zero-emissions, zero-waste features an apartment could need!)
Modern parenting is deeply broken. Parents are more burned out, lonely, and stressed than ever before. Childcare is painfully expensive. The systems for daycare, play-dates, maternal support, afterschool care, and activities are profoundly inefficient.
What should be the happiest moments of a parent's life are often steamrolled by stressful duties we could design around: near-constant death prevention (cars, falls, poisons, sharp things, running off etc) and being a daily taxi service.
Parenting is hard, largely, because the architecture is broken.
Suburban homes were made for a different time when housing was cheap, marriages were conventional, and women had an average of four children – all of whom could play together in a backyard. Alternatively, apartments are built cheaply for profit - not for kids or mothers.
By taking a child-centric lens to apartment buildings, we can create supportive communities that center around safe places for children to play in groups with the amenities that parents need.
They say "It takes a village" for a reason. It does. That's why I'm putting my best effort forward to build the village we've always needed.

The 3 Axioms of Change Ep78
How do you know that your project is REALLY changing what you want to change in the world? And how do you know if you are doing it effectively?
In this episode, I share the core mechanism of what change is. This is such a fundamental primary principle that we tend not to see it. You MUST have these three axioms active for change to happen. If you don't, then no change is occuring.
Unfortunately, most environmental projects fail at one or all three of the axioms and invest much time and effort with no change occuring. If you build your ideas and campaigns up from these three core principles - and you need all three in a trifecta - you'll shoot right to the center of what you need to do.

Customer Reviews
Insightful and empowering
Excellent. We need deep knowledge of environmental psychology now more than ever, and Katie Patrick is an experienced, reliable, and smart guide in this evolving area. Her distillations are concise and actionable and I end every episode having always gained an expanded mindset for how to communicate to and engage people on environmental topics. I also love the length and formats Katie uses. Highly recommend!
Meh is an understatement
This show seems completely obsessed with virtue signaling, sophomoric attempts at critical thinking, and endless fluff. When she started asking her listeners to build her own ideas and then proceeded to rattle off one about composting in public, I decided it was time to shut this down and try to protect the world from vapid podcasts like this.
Phenomenal podcast
Katie is brilliant, distilling and communicating such helpful information. She’s a role model in this field of creating positive environmental change as a career and I deeply appreciate all the effort she’s put into this phenomenal podcast!
