Social Impact with Lee Crockford & William Smith-Stubbs.
Lee Crockford and William Smith-Stubbs are the Co-founders of spur: a strategy, design, and venture studio focused on positively affecting human actions—and measuring the outcome.
Some of spur:’s projects have spanned sustainability, human rights, mental health, and more, with achievements including the world’s first global smartphone survey for mental health and a record breaking anti-loneliness volunteering program.
In this episode we discuss their first project, Soften the Fck Up, a mental health and suicide prevention project that looked to reshape the language around men’s mental health.
They explain #OLDMATE, a national campaign developed to reduce the social isolation of the elderly.
We discuss rebranding foster care, and their methodology on how to drive action in social movements.
