Let's Unpack it! Glenn Cantave, Co-founder of Movers & Shakers NYC joins me for a discussion on what it means to be radical or pragmatic in today's world of activism. We discuss the many ways the two approaches have worked in unison to deliver change faster and the way we can build a more cohesive unit as people fighting for a better nation.
