    Off the Clock: How Impact Pros Live their Values At and Outside Work (Live Show)

    About the Episode There are so many ways to engage with the major issues of this world. There's looking away and tuning out - and then there's tuning *WAY* in. For folks working, creating, and side-hustling in social impact, life is all about the latter. While it can be heavy on the mind, heart, and soul to take on this work, it's also a way to guarantee that a good chunk of one's waking hours are devoted to fighting humanity's good fights and living one's values. But then - what does that really take? How are folks managing the competing needs of personal life, professional work, and the never-ending causes demanding our attention? In this live episode of the Issue Space podcast, we talk to three social impact advocates who approach their changemaking at work, their personal lives, or somewhere in between about where impact fits into our lives today.

    Who's Working in Impact? Snapshot of a Shaken Social Sector (Live Show)

    After the 2024 presidential election results, social impact pros knew the backdrop of their work might look very different this year - and to say that's been the case is an understatement. With stark shifts in attitudes toward civil rights, social services, and climate action on display in | America's highest office, it feels like many of the missions that power the impact sector risk succumbing to this fierce political storm. So what jobs exist right now for people looking to use their careers for positive social impact? And what does it mean for the scores of social impact pros currently looking for work? We welcome social impact career placement specialist and professional development coach Robert Jay Ross back to the Space for a candid, sometimes comical, conversation about what the social impact work landscape looks like in this volatile chapter of changemaking.

    Affinity & Beyond: The Identity Politics of Impact Work

    A social impact professional’s work often involves advocating for our most personal rights. It’s only natural, then, that one might bring their own affinity to bear in these efforts. But in a time when identity politics are framed as distracting, divisive, or just else done-to-death, how valuable is it for social changemakers to approach the work they do through the lenses of their own identities? And what challenges do they face as a result of the choice to lean in or out of approaching social change from the perspectives of their own communities? In this episode of the Issue Space podcast, we’ll hear three points of view on decisions to embrace or reject their personal identities as a path to impact, and explore what it really means to turn an intrinsic life experience into a job and a cause.    About   Working to make life better for humankind is both a privilege and a challenge, and no one knows this better than the folks who have made this work their day job.

    From the Office to the Hill: Working Across Politics, Government, & Impact

    Anyone who’s worked in social impact knows that, just as political climate and administration shape our personal lives, so too do they affect our work, from what gets funded, to how our advocacy is framed in the zeitgeist, to everything in between. Some professionals toggle between working in politics and social impact to advance the change they’re fighting for, while others sit firmly in careers on one side or the other. How does that choice change your day-to-day experience in changemaking, and your efficacy? In this episode of the Issue Space podcast, we explore where politics and impact work intersect, and what that means for the folks who take on one or both in their careers.   About Working to make life better for humankind is both a privilege and a challenge, and no one knows this better than the folks who have made this work their day job.

    On & Off (the Ground): Finding Your Best Vantage Point for Change

    Every social impact pro has to find their own way. Will they focus on one issue, or work across many? Will they tie their efforts to a certain place or politician, or float across a range of movements and leaders? And, will they work to tackle change from the top-down (think: systems, media, politics) or from the bottom-up (in communities, working with the grassroots)? In this episode of the Issue Space podcast, we speak with three social impact professionals to explore how they found where they belong across the different tiers of changemaking.   About Working to make life better for humankind is both a privilege and a challenge, and no one knows this better than the folks who have made this work their day job.

    Equitable Expectations: How One Impact Pro Defines Her Worth Beyond DEI

    As a phrase and as a vision, ‘Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion’ has been on a rollercoaster, from sitting front and center in the zeitgeist, to getting defunded and deprioritized. In this era, people working in DEI find their work framed through the lenses of social justice and partisan fights, while folks working in social impact have seen their focus pulled toward what was once an HR-adjacent lane. How has this cultural and professional whirlwind changed the trajectory of people in social impact – and particularly, the trajectories of people of color who sit at the center of both storms? In this episode of the Issue Space podcast, we chat with an advocacy amplifier with an unapologetically inclusive lens about her journey through the social impact sector during its ‘DEI transformation.’   About Working to make life better for humankind is both a privilege and a challenge, and no one knows this better than the folks who have made this work their day job.
