Welcome back to the OneTeamGov show for 2019! We're back in Canada chatting to Jacquelyn Cardinal, co-founder of Naheyawin; a strategic digital agency that uses research, systems thinking, and storytelling to find connection to the people and things that matter most.

Jacquelyn shares her early experiences growing up as part of an indigenous community in Edmonton, and how she came to be so passionate about harnessing technology to tackle difficult societal problems. We talk about how the age of information has influenced indigenous rights and offered new opportunities to forge human connection in society as a whole.

We also chat about radical optimism, mental health as an enabler for empathy, and the value of learning from failure. And finally, we get Jacqui's top tip for podcast enthusiasts - what better way to kick off the New Year!
