A conversation with Mead Treadwell

My guest today was Mead Treadwell, former Alaska Lt. Governor and current Chairman and CEO of QuilakLNG, who was able to join me for our first in person chat, directly from beautiful Alaska. Mead is a politician and businessman known as one of the world’s leading Arctic policy experts. He has dedicated his life to building cooperation across the Arctic on economic, science, environmental and security issues since the early-1980’s.

We talked about competing claims on the resource rich Arctic, the spirit of the Alaskan people and what it was like to be first on the scene at the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
