ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Do you worry about our world in crisis? Social inequity, polarization, shifting climates, and disappearing nature can feel like too much for any one person to take on. We’ve been there, and we found hope. On Small-Planet Heroes, we invite change-makers to share their stories of trial and triumph in trailblazing positive social change. By unpacking the lessons learned and tying them together across episodes, we hope to find the keys to a future we all wish to see. You’re a part of the solution. Tune in to find out how!
