Can we save democracy in the United States? What if we focus on the local and bring people together to engage online in meaningful ways? Well, Johnathan thinks it’s possible, and that’s why he started MyBalbo.

Many of us want to  stay politically active, but our reach seems limited - how do we go one step further to use technology & have conversations across divides and become substantively connected to affecting policy that affects us. 

Meet Johnathan Celestin, founder of MyBalbo, an app that provides real community around American politics and offers users a chance to talk about the hard issues, engage with their representatives, and find ways to make a difference. 

In this episode, hear Johnathan’s journey of how he started MyBalbo with his siblings, how he navigates the systemic hurdles to starting a company as a person of color, what it’s like running a company with family members, and how he is already helping Americans can engage meaningfully with politics. 

Also listen to hear nice compliments from Johnathan’s mom and Abigail & Tim audition to become ASMR influencers.
