How to make change with Alex Budak

Linkedin
About this episode

In 2023, we’re going all in on making a case for optimism. Optimism is the promise that we have agency, and it’s our own belief that we can exercise that agency in any given moment to create better circumstances for ourselves, better solutions to our most intractable problems, better lives for the generations who will follow us. Sometimes, optimism demands change. For our first new episode of the year, Jessi speaks with Alex Budak, author of Becoming a Changemaker: An Actionable, Inclusive Guide to Leading Positive Change at Any Level. He shares insights into how anyone can start the process of making change.
