About Event

Join us in the MCJ Community Slack to kick off our 24 hour 'Ask Me Anything' with Larry Coons.

Our next MCJ Ask-Me-Anything is with Larry Coons, ex Automation Truck Tester with Uber and Ike.

Larry is a guest on our Skilled Labor Series on the My Climate Journey Podcast, hosted by MCJ Partner Yin Lu. This series is focused on amplifying the voices of folks from the skilled labor workforce, including the electricians, the farmers, the ranchers, the HVAC installers, and others who are on the front lines of rewiring our infrastructure. We decided to create this series after hearing the desire from many members of the community who wanted to learn more from folks in the trades.
