Created to inspire, tool and fuel the practice of being optimistic. Something that takes work, especially right now. Based in science, but kept human. Presented by Dr Drea Letamendi and Tom Johnstone.
Tom and Drea talk to future-shaper Tara Roth about what's ahead for social innovation in Los Angeles, the convergence of business and philanthropy, and the conviction and tenacity needed to really create, drive and support meaningful and lasting social change in the city and beyond. As president of the Goldhirsh Foundation, Tara has spearheaded some remarkable and diverse initiatives from My LA2050 - a grassroots and crowd-sourced campaign that backs proposals for improving Los Angeles - to supporting the legalization of street vendors, to a bold and pioneering universal basic income project in Stockton. Listen up, all you social entrepreneurs.
