Why the Unknown Changemakers Will Shape Our Future, Not Today’s Leaders
Description
There are countless reasons to be optimistic about the future, but my hope doesn’t come from the leaders we see today or the speeches they give.
It comes from the leaders who don’t exist yet—the ones nobody has heard of, but who will step up when the world needs them most.
These are the people who see a massive global problem and decide it’s their problem to solve.
They start small, fixing something in their community, and then figure out how to scale it to the rest of the world.
They almost always shock us and how important the things that they build become.
Yet, we can’t imagine them right now.
My favorite ride that Walt Disney ever created was the Carousel of Progress. It tells the story of how things change over time.
Every moment of despair creates an opportunity for someone to rise up and tackle a challenge.
It’s not the speeches or promises that give me hope—it’s the untapped potential of those who haven’t even stepped into the spotlight yet.
The future belongs to the unknown changemakers who see opportunities in adversity and decide to make the world a better place, one step at a time.
