About this podcast
We can't fix the world alone. But we all know that collaborating is hard. And systems? Well, they seem to be allergic to change. So how do we do it without losing our damn minds?
On System Catalysts, you will learn from activists, philanthropists, and change makers who put their egos aside to improve the systems that run the world. This season, we’ll be looking into healthcare, marriage equality, migration, climate and more. Join English Sall as she goes behind-the-scenes of systems change, cracking the code on making the world a better place.
System Catalysts is produced by Hueman Group Media.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
