Listen Later

HATCH is a non-profit organization focused on connecting global influencers and change-makers to accelerate solutions for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Their mission is to find and connect extraordinary individuals at the forefront of systems change and social impact. By bringing together diverse thinkers, perspectives, and generations, Hatch aims to uncover blind spots and acupuncture points for driving meaningful change.

Yarrow takes us through the process of project selection, emphasizing the importance of tackling climate, education, entrepreneurship, social impact, and equity. One of their key focuses is on addressing the nine planetary tipping points, such as the Amazon Basin's protection.

The podcast explores how HATCH creates opportunities for collaboration, both in-person and virtually, and how it encourages individuals to connect on a human level rather than simply focusing on agendas. Through inspiring initiatives like writing letters to one's future self and making real-world impact, HATCH demonstrates that individuals can come together, despite their diverse perspectives, to work on global challenges.

In a world that needs urgent action, Yarrow reminds us that building trust and approaching global issues as a collective human challenge can lead to exponential change. As Yarrow aptly puts it, "collaboration only moves at the speed of trust."

  • 01:55: Yarrow's journey from founding "The Hero Project" to creating Hatch.
