“How can we build communities around the impact we want to make in the world?How do we get people engaged and excited to support our missions when we are all so busy and tied up in all our commitments already.How do we get others to care when we are starting to feel numb?Numb because there is simply too much to do to fix this world. Numb because we tried and we feel we failed or we didn’t even dare to try to make our own impact in the first place.”Regina Larko Founder of #impact Finding answers to these questions inspired our new season.
