Changemakers is about the movers and shakers that take the lead in the social, spiritual and scientific sectors of society to make their surroundings a more meaningful place to live in. But this is just also about their story—the sprouting of an idea, the guts that it took to get there, the people that supported them along the way—so that we can be inspired to be changemakers in our own lives.

She has since been investigating how we can prevent these very conditions. We delve into epigenetics, what affects our health and longevity the most, and how we can live better, healthier lives as active people who make a difference in the world, but don't always have time for ourselves.

    Ep 28 - Is Our Use of Technology Similar to Drug Addiction? Ego, family, drugs, and tech-use with Rambhai Patel | Part 2

    In this episode, we get into what made Rambhai the out-of-the-ordinary teacher, how he lives with his family & extended family in one house, what he saw in his childhood and if overuse of technology is worse or better than drug addictions. In India, many families have drug addictions; young fathers and males die of drug overdoses or alchohol related cancers and diseases. After retiring, Rambhai Patel began an anti-addictions educational program, and rode buses all over India to teach hundreds of thousands of underprivileged children about the dangers of drug use and addictions so that their families have a chance to stay strong and healthy. Both his sons join to translate Rambhai’s Indian Gujrati, his native tongue; Dhaval Patel is a software engineer at Bloomberg and started a data science Youtube channel with 400K subscribers to teach youth tech after being diagnosed with an incurable autoimmune disease, and Bhavin Patel was a student who was told he won’t succeed in life, but now has a multi-media marketing company he built that employs some of India’s best university graduates and has contracts with US companies.  Writing a review on Changemakers helps more people hear about initiatives like these that people are creating to make our society a better place.
