In public life, we know that people see the world differently — through different opinions, attitudes, beliefs and experiences. But what happens when we become better at embracing those different perspectives? Can changing how we see also change how we make a difference?Alina Gozin'a is one of Australia's most celebrated photographers, having photographed some of Australia's and the world's most powerful people, like Scott Farquhar, Andrew Forrest, Frank Lowy, Kevin Rudd, Christine Lagarde, and Sam Mostyn.But her path into photography was anything but conventional. After immigrating from the Soviet Union to Australia, she began her career as a tax adviser at PwC before becoming a renowned photographer, visual storyteller, strategist and advocate for creativity.In this Chat, Alina explores how that unusual journey has shaped the way she sees — and her ability to move between disciplines, perspectives and worlds. She takes us inside the practice of photography: what it means to really look, to notice what others miss, and to see the same person or situation from different angles.Together, we explore what those practices might teach us about public life and making a difference.It's a conversation that crosses disciplines and experiences, showing how even small shifts in how we see can have a big impact on how we understand the world — and how we work with others.You can see more about Alina Gonzin'a's work here on her website.You can follow her art in real time on her instagram page.You can read her TEDx talk about Creativity here.Her photo shoot with Christine LaGarde is here.======For more on ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changemakerspodcast/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@changemakerspodcastBlue Sky: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersall.bsky.socialFor more on the books and Amanda's writing, have a look at:Amanda's website - https://amandatattersall.com/ Conscious Tribes: thinking differently about making a difference - https://conscioustribes.net/People Power in Cities - here and via Oxford Uni PressOn Substack - https://substack.com/@amandatattersallOn Medium - https://amandatatts.medium.com/And - her much earlier book about coalition building - Power in Coalition and via Cornell Uni PressAmanda is on Socials here:On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandatattersall/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.tattersallBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/amandatattersall.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersallTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amanda.tattersall Hosted on Acast.

You can also see it on YouTube.Devin: What is your superpower?David: My superpower is seeing the gifts and the light in others.Innovation is reshaping education, and Changemaker Education is leading the charge with a bold, disruptive solution: micro schools. Rather than trying to fix large, traditional schools, micro schools embrace intimacy and personalized learning as their foundation for success.David K Richards, founder and CEO of Changemaker Education, explains that micro schools are “a redux of the one-room schoolhouse”—small schools hosting anywhere from five to 100 students. These schools nurture close relationships between educators, students, and families. “You get to know the child really well. You get to know the family really well. And now you have this small community raising your child,” David shared in today's episode.The movement aims to replace public education's “factory model,” which David describes as a system designed to batch-process students: “The system isn't broken; it's doing what it was built for.” However, some 75% of high school students today dislike their schools—a statistic that highlights the need for an alternative approach.Changemaker Education supports teachers and community leaders in launching micro schools by providing business tools, coaching, and resources. David summarized the goal: “We provide you with the business infrastructure, the marketing, the budget—all the things you need—so you can focus on your magic as an educator.” This affiliate-based framework allows schools to maintain local autonomy while tapping into a national network for resources and scalability.A powerful factor helping the micro school movement grow is the rise of state voucher programs. In 24 states, families can use education savings accounts to fund alternative schooling options, including micro schools. “In Texas, for example, the state will write you a check for $10,000,” David noted. This funding empowers educators to create transformational learning environments while keeping costs low for families.Changemaker Education is scaling rapidly, with 25 affiliated schools across 18 states and ambitious plans for growth. To accelerate their impact, the company is raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder.The opportunity to invest in Changemaker Education isn't just about potential financial returns. It's about joining a movement that's rewriting the narrative of education in America and beyond. As David said, “Look what happens when you create a system where kids are loved, and adults are empowered.”tl;dr:Micro schools offer a revolutionary solution for students unhappy with traditional education systems.Changemaker Education provides tools and support for teachers and leaders to start micro schools.State voucher programs empower families to fund alternative educational options like micro schools.David's superpower, seeing the light in others, led him to empower educators like Mary Jo Fairhead.Changemaker Education's crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder fuels their mission and rapid growth.How to Develop Seeing the Light in Others As a SuperpowerDavid describes his superpower as the ability to see the gifts, strengths, and potential in others. “My superpower is seeing the gifts and the light in others.” By recognizing individuals' hidden talents and unique traits, David has helped educators and students identify their paths to success. He insists that this skill stems from cultivating self-awareness and self-love: “Once you start to see the gifts in yourself and truly love yourself…you can see the gifts that everybody has.”David shared the transformative story of Mary Jo Fairhead from South Dakota's poverty-stricken Pine Ridge Reservation. As David coached her, he uncovered her dream to start a school, helping her channel her passion into creating a successful micro school. Mary Jo's school has won prestigious funding and dramatically improved her community. “I could see there was something missing in her fulfillment. When she said she wanted to start a school, I knew we had to make it happen,” David explained.Actionable Tips to Develop This Superpower:Reflect on your own strengths, gifts, and accomplishments to cultivate self-awareness.Replace judgment with curiosity when interacting with others.Ask open-ended, meaningful questions to understand others' passions and aspirations.Practice empathetic listening to uncover hidden potential in those around you.Create opportunities or provide guidance that empowers others to act on their strengths.By following David's example and advice, you can make seeing the light in others a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDavid K Richards (he/him):Founder & CEO, Changemaker Edu Inc.About Changemaker Edu Inc.: Join the microschool movement—whether you're a family searching for a more human, personalized approach to learning—or a visionary founder ready to run your own school, you're part of a growing movement.

Peter Garrett was not only the lead singer for one of Australia's most iconic bands, he has spent his life trying to make a difference. He has achieved so much, beginning with protests against Vietnam War and apartheid, to playing a leading role in environmental and anti-nuclear movements, to deciding to join the Australian Labor Party and make change from the inside as a government minister.In this chat he shares some of what he has done and learnt over those decades of activism, and then, how he is bringing those experiences together to make space for public debate around AUKUS. This UK-US-Australia submarine deal is set to cost Australians more than $360 billion and yet neither the parliament nor the country have had a serious debate about this decision or contemplated alternatives.Peter talks us through what the people's inquiry is and how it works - and if you are listening and curious you can visit its website to find out more, and even put in a submission to have your voice heard: https://aukuspublicinquiry.com/.In the chat we talk about Peter's book, which shares more of what Peter has done in both music and politics.

377: Stop Pushing Harder: How Great Nonprofits Build Momentum (Suzanne Smith)Episode SummaryNonprofit leaders are exhausted, pushing harder and still feeling stuck. Suzanne Smith, Founder and CEO of Social Impact Architects, offers a different path. Drawing on sixteen years of consulting and her forthcoming book, The Nonprofit Flywheel, she reframes Jim Collins's flywheel for the social sector: translate business practices, don't transplant them. Suzanne walks through the six elements, impact, brand, revenue, and operations, held together by culture and governance, and explains why momentum builds only when all six align. She shares proof from the TACA arts accelerator in Dallas, where participating organizations saw average budgets rise roughly 40 percent and foundation support climb 77 percent, then challenges leaders to rethink old norms through what she calls Nonprofit 2.0. Listeners walk away with a practical diagnostic for finding the friction in their own organizations and a reminder that lasting impact comes from working smarter, not harder.About SuzanneSuzanne Smith is the Founder and CEO of Social Impact Architects, a social change agency in Dallas, Texas, that helps nonprofits, government agencies, and cross-sector systems move from stuck to strategic. Describing herself as “trilingual” in nonprofit, government, and business, Suzanne began her career as a lobbyist after earning a government degree from the University of Texas, then went on to complete her MBA at Duke, where she studied social entrepreneurship under pioneer Greg Dees. Over the past sixteen years she has founded nonprofits, served as a board chair, and taught the next generation of social entrepreneurs as an educator and consultant. She writes the Social TrendSpotter newsletter, a top nonprofit publication on Substack, and her TEDx talk, Everyone Is a Changemaker, reflects her belief that anyone can make a difference.

Anna Funder is one of Australia's most successful and accomplished writers. She has used her craft to explore power abuse and people's response, whether through stories about life under the Stasi in East Germany, the rise of Hitler, or by giving voice to the agency of Eileen O'shaughnessy - the wife of George Orwell. In telling new stories about power she has challenged the narratives of the powerful.In this conversation we explore how her writing is an act of change making, but also what the perspective of a writer might offer to those who seek to make change. Its a celebration of the power of all of us - our ordinary extraordinariness. She also shares how the kind of everyday outrage that we all experience has effected her in particular, driving her to advocate for writing and against the wanton content stealing that is enabling AI and the Tech Bros to make money.Photo credit: Michele Aboud.Anna will be part of an Australian speaking tour in August 2026, dates and tickets can be found here: https://thinkable.events/tours/an-evening-with-anna-funder.You can find out more about Anna's books here:https://www.annafunder.com/Anna's closing address at the 2025 Writers Festival, that we mention in the podcast, is here.For more on ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changemakerspodcast/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@changemakerspodcastBlue Sky: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersall.bsky.socialFor more on the books and Amanda's writing, have a look at:Amanda's website - https://amandatattersall.com/ Conscious Tribes: thinking differently about making a difference - here and via Hardie GrantPeople Power in Cities - here and via Oxford Uni PressOn Substack - https://substack.com/@amandatattersallOn Medium - https://amandatatts.medium.com/And - her much earlier book about coalition building - Power in Coalition and via Cornell Uni PressAmanda is on Socials here:On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandatattersall/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.tattersallBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/amandatattersall.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersallTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amanda.tattersall Hosted on Acast.

What does it take to see a problem so clearly you simply cannot walk away from it? For Sherri Combs, it happened in a swimming pool — and in one moment, she saw the entire vision for Silver Streak Senior Services: the logo, the framework, the platform. All of it, fully formed.Sherri is an award-winning entrepreneur, bestselling author, and senior advocate who spent a decade as a private banker watching seniors and their families navigate a fragmented, fraud-riddled landscape with no trusted guide. Scams were everywhere. Referral lists went stale. Lead-selling platforms turned vulnerable people into targets. Families in crisis were Googling their way through one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives — and finding confusion instead of help.So, she built something different. A nationwide vetted platform connecting seniors, caregivers, and the businesses that serve them with honesty, integrity, and heart. Every business on Silver Streak has passed criminal background checks, licensing and insurance verification, and reputation reviews. No shortcuts. No lead selling. No compromising the people she built this for.Three developers told her it couldn't be done. She sat down, learned to code, and proved them wrong.And she didn't stop there. Sherri also founded the Silver Streak Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to fraud awareness and prevention education for senior communities nationwide. She delivers training through senior centers, Rotary clubs, and community organizations, teaching seniors and caregivers how to recognize and stop scams before they cause harm.In this episode we cover:The swimming pool moment when the entire vision arrived at once — logo, framework, and allWhy the current way we search for senior services is fragmented, broken, and dangerousHow Silver Streak vets every business on the platform: background checks, licensing, insurance, and reputation reviewsThree web developers, one determined founder, and what she did when they said it couldn't be builtHer four-step Silver Streak It framework for scam protection: Pause, Verify, Reach Out, DeleteThe Just In Case Plan: why aging planning matters as much as estate planning — and the conversation every family needs to have before the crisis hitsHow Silver Streak is funded: membership fees as low as $1 for seniors, free for veterans and first responders, with proceeds donated to the nonprofitThe seven-phase vision for where Silver Streak is going — and why she's not waiting to get started3 Things You'll Take AwayYour vision is your protection. Three developers told Sherri it couldn't be done. Her clarity about what she was building — and her refusal to settle for anything less — is what kept her moving. When you know what you're building and why, obstacles become detours, not dead ends.Integrity is a business model. Silver Streak isn't free to list on because free platforms can't be trusted. The vetting process is the product. When safety and trust are your differentiators, you build differently — and that's exactly the point.Plan for the aging, not just the dying. Most families have a funeral plan. Very few have an aging plan. The Just In Case Plan fills that gap — and the conversation Sherri teaches us to have is one every family needs.Connect with Sherri: silverstreakseniorservices.com | Facebook: Don't Fall for It!

Dr Daniel Nour considers himself an accidental change maker, but he is also a pretty prodigious one. A doctor, inspired by the health care that helped his brother as a child, it was an experience offering emergency medical care to a homeless man in London during his medical studies that left him unable to ignore the gaps in the healthcare system, especially for marginalised communities.In response in Australia he created Street Side Medics, a mobile general practice unit that meets and provides medical care to people that are homeless in the places where they are at - at food venues. It started in Sydney and has spread across Australia. His work led him to be recognised as 2022 Young Australian of the Year.Here he talks about that journey and what he learnt creating something from nothing. He explores the art of founding an organisation, the limits of planning and the importance of mentors and vision.For more on Street Side Medics: https://www.streetsidemedics.com.au/For more on ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changemakerspodcast/Threads: https://www.threads.com/@changemakerspodcastBlue Sky: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersall.bsky.socialFor more on the books and Amanda's writing, have a look at:Amanda's website - https://amandatattersall.com/ Conscious Tribes: thinking differently about making a difference - here and via Hardie GrantPeople Power in Cities - here and via Oxford Uni PressOn Substack - https://substack.com/@amandatattersallOn Medium - https://amandatatts.medium.com/And - her much earlier book about coalition building - Power in Coalition and via Cornell Uni PressAmanda is on Socials here:On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandatattersall/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.tattersallBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/amandatattersall.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.com/@amandatattersallTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amanda.tattersallAmanda's website - https://amandatattersall.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Send us Fan MailIn episode 256, host Andrea Atherton sits down with researcher, transformation strategist, and changemaker Elena Bondareva to explore what it truly takes to create meaningful and lasting change in the world. Drawing from more than three decades of experience leading transformation across six continents and her groundbreaking PhD research, Elena shares her vision for what she calls the "Periodic Table of Transformation," a framework designed to help changemakers move beyond guesswork and become more intentional, effective, and sustainable in their impact.Andrea and Elena discuss the fascinating discoveries emerging from Elena's research, including the attributes of changemakers, the competencies that can be developed to increase effectiveness, the stages and functions of transformation, and the building blocks that drive meaningful change. They explore a powerful question: Are you a changemaker? While every person has an important role to play in shaping a better future, not everyone is called to lead transformation in the same way. Understanding whether you are a changemaker and what type of changemaker you are can offer profound insight into where your gifts, energy, and purpose are meant to be directed.This conversation also examines why so many transformation initiatives fail, how changemakers often experience burnout in their efforts to improve the world, and what becomes possible when change is approached with greater intention and understanding. Whether you are a leader, healer, entrepreneur, visionary, advocate, or someone who wants to make a positive difference, this episode offers practical wisdom, inspiration, and hope. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of how transformation unfolds, the role you play, and how we can work together to create a future that serves the highest good for all.Elena Bondarevahttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/changemakers-handbook-with-elena-bondareva/id1828981728https://www.amazon.com/Change-makers-Handbook-Everything-meaningful-business/https://changemakershandbook.substack.com/30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton  Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/
