Your Host
The Ecosystem Member podcast is hosted by me, Rick Evans.
By day, I am a journalism school-trained brand strategist and marketer. My approach is heavily informed by both nature and culture, hence my interest in and connection to nature and the more-than-human world. The interest in art came much later, when I moved to New York City when I was 27 and deepened when I met my wife for our first date at The Whitney and found out she worked at The Met.
It’s a real privilege to get to talk to our amazing guests and that anyone takes time to listen is a surprise - a welcome one, but nonetheless a surprise that I appreciate very much.
