Next Gen Doers

Business EN ↓ 8 episodes

Next-Gen Doers is a podcast about people under 35 who don’t just think and talk about making the world better; they did something to make it happen. Each episode is a candid conversation with a founder, creative, operator, or community leader who saw a gap in the world and decided to do something about it. Sometimes they started a company. Sometimes they built a movement, or a new way of working inside an existing organization. The common thread is simple: they moved from insight to action. Next-Gen Doers is for anyone who wants to live with more agency and to create a life of impact.
