A podcast for people interested in social impact careers and what is happening at the cutting edge of addressing society's greatest challenges. Our title is taken from Robert Frost's poem, "The Road Not Taken" where he concludes, "I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Interpretations of that final line vary, but one thing is certain: There is more than one road to a meaningful destination. Through conversations with alumni of Dartmouth College who have leveraged their professional lives for the common good, we chart out what those roads can look like.
