Explore the potential of Impact Networks in shaping the future of aging. Through conversation with David Ehrlichman, author of "Impact Networks," host Zannat Reza uncovers the concept & benefits of these purpose-driven networks, which bring together diverse groups, organizations, and stakeholders to address complex issues that no single entity can alone.  We learn about the principles of network mindset, cultivating trust, and the role of leadership in fostering effective collaboration through Impact Networks. 

Next, Zannat delves into the role & potential of Impact Networks in changing the aging landscape in Canada with John Yip, President & CEO of SE Health. They explore the importance of inter-generational relationships, grassroots groups, community engagement, and the fluidity of impact networks as an effective tool. They also discuss the challenges of taking action and the powerful role of storytelling and emotions in igniting social movements. In particular, they reflect on how the COVID-19 pandemic shed light on ageism and hopefully will lead to change for older adults. Join Zannat as we find new ways of tackling the complex world of aging through Impact Networks.
