Call it virtue. At a time when climate stress, inequality and runaway media incentives pull us toward cynicism. Three ancient ideas feel surprisingly disruptive. Courage, compassion, and redemption. Courage to tell the truth when it's inconvenient. Compassion to widen the circle of who counts and redemption. The audacity to change course personally and collectively before it's too late. Here's the question I want us to sit with today. What is the worthy role for humans? The most consequential species on Earth in the living tapestry of this planet? When power meets conscience, who wins? And can a good story actually move us from greed and self-interest towards stewardship and solidarity? We think it can. Especially when it's told with heart, with urgency, and with an innovation to act. Today we're joined by Geoffrey Holland, an Emmy Award winning writer, producer, journalist and assertive humanitarian voice for nature, people and the planet. His new novel, "Virtue: Courage-Compassion-Redemption," follows power, conscience and what it takes to change course personally and globally. It's a story that entertains while asking hard questions about media responsibility and the future we choose. Together, we'll talk craft, character, and why Geoffrey is committing book proceeds to real world activism and what he's building next.

On this episode of American Real, Roger asks Geoffrey what got him started as an active voice for nature enthusiasts. "Well, it began when I was growing up," Geoffrey says. "As a teenager, I read National Geographic stories about Jane Goodall and her exploits in Gambia Reserve in Tanzania with chimpanzees... And that just reinforced my desire to be a voice, in service of nature."
