A selection of the best How to be the Difference podcast moments of 2022

As a first selection, we revisit the episode featuring Gina Gotthilf, the co-founder, and COO at Latitud. This company was created to solve problems and remove the obstacles in the path of many brilliant entrepreneurs trying to change the reality of Latin America. In the clip, we learn how Gina helped scale Duolingo from 3 to 200M users, starting with PR to get reporters to talk about Duolingo for free, while learning what messages appealed to them for those stories.

Our second clip comes from Jaime Bermudez, former Minister of Foreign Affairs in Colombia and Ambassador of Colombia in Argentina. Jaime is now the President of the Lazard Investment Bank in Colombia but has spent most of his career working in communications, public affairs, and studying social behavior from different perspectives. He discusses the differences between working in the corporate world versus working in politics.

The third selected guest is Nathan Lustig, Managing Partner at Magma Partners. Founded in 2014, Magma is an early-stage venture capital fund based in Latin America. Nathan gives his opinion on the future of work and on what professionals should focus on to be part of it.

Next, we revisit the very exciting path of Lydia Kibandi, CEO at Lensational, a non-profit social enterprise that aims to elevate the voices of underrepresented women through photography. Lydia has earned recognition as a young leader in her country and globally through a nomination in Kenya’s Business Daily Top 40 under 40 women in leadership and her contribution to panels including New York Times Climate Hub at COP26. In this holiday special, Lydia talks about the connection between storytelling and photography.
