Adam Met: Climate Action, Musical Stardom, and the Art of Building a Movement

Adam Met is a musician, climate policy writer, and genuine problem-solver – not your typical celebrity activist. This bass guitarist spent years building a devoted fanbase for his multi-platinum indie-pop band AJR. Now, as co-author of the movement-building manifesto Amplify, he outlines how those same tools can power lasting social change. Adam joins Ted to discuss what a four-hour conversation with Glenn Beck taught him, why he let the fans assemble an AJR album, and how he shepherded the bipartisan Co-Location Energy Act into both chambers of Congress.
