Making New Possible is a podcast about people who see the world not just as it is, but as it could be – and then do something about it. Hosted by Angela Damiani, a serial entrepreneur and CEO of NEWaukee, the show dives into the minds of changemakers who are challenging old systems, reimagining industries, and reshaping what it means to live, work, gather, and create with intention. It’s a series of intimate, energized conversations about the moments that matter – when someone decides to take a leap, build a thing, or stop tolerating the status quo. This is not a show about polished success stories. It’s about the process of making something new possible – and the mess, magic, and momentum it takes to get there. Who listens in? Anyone asking “what if…” and then is brave enough to pursue it.
