A podcast co-hosted by Alejandro Juárez Crawford and Miriam Plavin-Masterman.
A show about everyday people reimagining the way things work—and tackling the obstacles they face.
We explore adventures in democratizing innovation—how the chance to try one’s hand at something new affects people and even organizations, what “powers” they discover and what challenges they face along the way.
We dig into access: what determines who gets the chance to try and disrupt the way things work? We examine obstacles in specific industries and communities, and go deep with people working to break through them.
We look closely at the role of tech—how it can equip or disempower people to build experiments of their own—and society: what leads us to accept a role as consumers of the way things work, and what it means to discover our powers to ask in practice, “What if instead?”

What If Philanthropy Got It Right? Robert Osborne on What if Instead?
What happens when we stop treating generosity as virtue and start asking who actually gets to define, fund, and benefit from social change? In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with Robert Osborne, principal of The Osborne Group, to unravel the hidden power dynamics behind philanthropy. From toile curtains and “goody two-shoes subversives” to billion-dollar endowments and donor-advised funds, the conversation flows from quirky to critical, challenging the way we think about giving. Together with co-hosts Mim Plavin-Masterman and Alejandro Crawford, Robert explores why most philanthropic dollars don’t reach the communities most affected — and what it would take to shift the system. What if we redefined impact, centered justice, and stopped hoarding resources? What if philanthropy actually got it right?
