Podcast transcript

Pavitra Raja: For some people, entrepreneurship is in their bones, it’s in their DNA. It’s just what they were born to do.

I’m Pavitra Raja and I’ve been lucky enough to work with some of the world's most inspiring social innovators through my work at the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.

These are the kinds of people you’ll be wanting to hear from - leading social innovators who are not only fixing a problem but the root causes of these problems – and they are dedicating their lives to it.

Kyle Zimmer: “I think it's in my DNA, you know, so I was raised in a family where it wasn't okay to sit off on the sidelines. And so, I think I would have ended up being an activist from one angle or another.”

But hold on, there's so much more than that!

Mikaela Jade: “I'm fixing the lack of opportunity for First Nations people across the world to participate in the design of critical technologies.”

In this special podcast series with the World Economic Forum and the Motsepe Foundation we’ll be learning about social innovators and what motivates these amazing individuals to do what they do.

Luvuyo Rani: “To be a social entrepreneur, it's something that I really, live up to. it's intentional.”

From the townships of Cape Town to the streets of Sydney we are traveling around the world to bring you these amazing stories of resilience, passion and innovation.

Gonzalo Munoz: “I all the time heard the logic of you should try to leave the world at least a little bit better than how it was the day when you were born.”
