A podcast about the why of sharing and how to do it better. What kind of sharing are we talking about? Toys? Tools? Files? Calendars? Meals? Space? The planet? All of it. We do it professionally and personally. In boardrooms and in bedrooms we tease out our willingness and ability to share. That’s what this podcast is focused on: how to share – to the appropriate audience, at the right time, and also understand how to receive when others share.

    How to Share Advocacy with Sam Daley-Harris Part 2

    In this conversation, Sam Daley-Harris talks with Wynne Leon and Vicki Atkinson and unpacks how transformational advocacy fits alongside other forms of activism like protests, litigation, and voter mobilization—and why it can succeed even when Washington seems paralyzed by shutdowns and partisan conflict. Sam shares some concrete examples from global health and environmental advocacy, offer insight into how citizens are working to reverse damage and protect the most vulnerable, and—perhaps most importantly—explain how anyone can be effective, even with just five to fifteen minutes a day. If you’ve ever wondered whether your voice can really matter, this conversation offers both clarity and hope. And Sam offers to be a guide to help you connect to the issues that matter most for you. We love talking with Sam because he shares how to be effective and counter the effects of fear, cynicism and loneliness. We know you’ll love this conversation!
