S3E9 Engineering Impact with co-founder of Impact Hub and Civic Jonathan Robinson & returning guest founder of The Miracle Foundation Caroline Boudreaux
Description
Fellow Movers, Shakers, and Visionary Makers,
In this transformative episode of Under One Sky, we sit down with Jonathan Robinson, founder of Impact Hub, to explore what true social impact looks like and how enabling environments can foster it. Jonathan shares his vision of "EMERGE"—the birth of something new rising out of the emergency of our current leadership crisis.
This conversation takes you beyond embedded and entrenched systems that work for only a few, toward creating inclusive systems that work for everyone.
Jonathan walks us through what it’s like to step into an Impact Hub and find people deeply curious and committed to connecting opportunities with purpose. He also defines the emerging role of the Civic Entrepreneur—a new profession as profound as that of a doctor or scientist, with the power to design social systems that benefit entire communities. From Palaces for the People to Our Future, Jonathan’s insights redefine what radical social leaps can look like when each of us is empowered to unleash our imaginations.
