Based on the recommendation of a friend of mine whose opinion I hold in high esteem, John Quezada, I’ve decided to a podcast. The topic of course, is entrepreneurship. So, I’m focusing on entrepreneurs; more specifically the ways they are turning their passions into something to better the world we all live in. First up, I’m joined by up and coming entrepreneur Colum O’Brien. Colum is the co-founder and CEO of Modern Action, a non-profit platform made to democratize social activism.

I don’t have a planned schedule, so I’ll produce these as I’m able. Still figuring out how to publish them on a separate page from the blog posts, hope to fix that soon enough.  

How Does Modern Action Enhance Activism?

Modern Action makes it easier than ever for people to compel their elected leaders to advance the causes their constituents care about most. This is certainly a need society has experienced more of given recent events. 

Colum was gracious enough to provide plenty of insight into his experience as an entrepreneur and about his company. I won’t spoil too much here, but what I can tell you about Modern Action is that it’s particularly pertinent given recent events. Not to mention people’s innate desire to voice their concerns and effect the change they’d like to see. We all know the preponderance of activist sentiments on social media. And I think we’re all keenly aware that going from sharing those sentiments to actually achieving change is a long and difficult road most people are uncertain of how to navigate. 

Modern Action is creating a channel to hone the concern, shock, outrage, and other feelings and emotions people experience in light of the events roiling our tumultuous world, and direct it to effective action and change, satisfying Colum’s deeply held desire to positively impact the world while answering his calling to entrepreneurial endeavors. As you’ll see Colum describe, Modern Action is dedicated to making activism easier and far more effective.

This isn’t professionally produced, so do expect that kind of production value. The format isn’t interrogative, I tried to keep things conversational. Hope you enjoy watching this as much as Colum and I enjoyed making it. And if you don’t, please be gentle, it’s my first time
