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?”

Who Am I to Do This? (And Why I Did Anyway) | Dan Lee
In this episode, we talk with Dan Lee, the co-founder of the AI-powered healthcare platform Yurahealth and a U.S. Congressional candidate for Virginia’s 11th district. Dan shares his journey from being a caregiver for his mother with Parkinson's to tackling the outrageous costs and complexities of the American healthcare system. He explains how the same drive to challenge the status quo and ask "What if instead?" led him from social entrepreneurship to the political arena. This is an inspiring conversation about overcoming imposter syndrome, the power of civic engagement, and why the antidote to feeling unqualified is simply to start doing the work.
