WonderWorkers 7: Karl Brown, Co-Founder of Curv - How is Curv Revolutionising Social Media For Good?

In this episode of WonderWorkers, I’m talking to Karl Brown, co-founder of Curv, a social network, reimagined. A platform where you don't follow people, you join movements.

Karl's story is made of so many diverse experiences. From working as an actor under the stewardship of Sam Mendes and being deceived by the acting world, to working in Gang Prevention as a key member of the Growing Against Gangs & Violence initiative, Karl's journey has been a real learning curve! (No bad pun here!). He also worked in Behavioural Change as a consultant and coach, working with many of the world’s largest corporations, which is where he laid the foundation for Curv.

I had the pleasure of meeting Karl at a Force For Nature event back in 2022. As a curious entrepreneur, I always strive to push myself outside my comfort zone and attend events beyond my realm of knowledge. I stayed for two hours and tried to contribute in my own way. Karl stood out as the only person who approached me after the event and showed genuine enthusiasm for my podcast. That's when I discovered Curv, and I found the concept and mission both innovative and fascinating. Our conversation was one of the most thought-provoking I've had so far. I was captivated by Karl's journey as a changemaker and vision for the future of social media, which was both eye-opening and groundbreaking.

In this episode, we talk about:

👉 Karl's dream of becoming an actor and the disappointment he experienced in that world

👉 How his professional and entrepreneurial journey has been shaped by "taking a step back"

👉 To Be or Not To Be an Entrepreneur? Is it something we are born with or something we can learn?

👉 How does being a purpose-led changemaker is affecting your mental health?

👉 How problematic is our current social media for society, humanity, and democracy's survival?

👉 Why do people need harmful content to feed their free time?

👉 What is Curv solving and how is it changing the world?
