In today’s solo episode, Allison gets into the nitty-gritty of creating change in the world—why philanthropies miss the mark and why travel is our best solution. She talks about white saviorism and cycles of dependency, then unpacks the mindset shifts that happen from immersive, conscious, sustainable travel.

Today on It is a Real Job, Dad:

• The problem with philanthropies & how they can be of better service
• How philanthropies prevent communities from becoming self-sufficient
• Travel as the best solution for changing the world
• Mindset shifts that happen from immersive, hard, uncomfortable travel (not vacation!)
• Lessons from the song “Wait For It” from Hamilton

After years as a systems creator and leader of multiple job training programs, Sheena realized she was never going to be able to create the kind of impact she wanted in a corporate position. She had a deep desire to be able to create a network of schools that would provide training to under-privileged women — something that would inspire, educate and equip them to create the career (and life) of their dreams. Sheena understood that she would never be able to earn the kind of paycheck required to implement and build such a network of schools, EVER, in the corporate world.

Deeply committed to her long-term vision, Sheena decided to quit her job and begin consulting.  She’s always been an educator and her passion is helping others monetize their own expertise in a way that allows them to give back in a bigger way.  In doing so, she believes she is creating a ripple effect from their impact to her own, one that will eventually empower and enable her to realize her vision of that network of schools.

For everyone who has a dream for The Next Big Thing (and just doesn’t think they have the time or energy to make it happen), she sees you. She supports you.
