“What if we were the seeds after a forest fire?”

In this episode of How to Change the World, host Catherine Alonzo welcomes back Luis Ávila, President and founder of Iconico - a company all about creating lasting, systemic change. Luis shares some of the biggest lessons he’s learned about fostering progress in the midst of devastation, particularly during the chaos and challenges of the Trump administration. They discuss how changemakers can avoid getting overwhelmed by instead focusing on small, important steps that lead to meaningful change. In other words: planting seeds. Oftentimes, we feel like we need to think bigger in order to be impactful - when in reality, focusing on what we can do in the here and now, with the people we’re currently surrounded by, is what makes the greatest difference. 

Tune in to hear tips for how to focus our efforts where we can be most impactful, and to be reminded that the greatest story we can tell right now is one of hope. Listen on your favorite podcast platform or watch on YouTube now!
