Part1of2: Alex Budak: Becoming a Changemaker

Becoming a Changemaker "Someone needs to fix this," is something that, at some point, we've all said. However, it's more challenging to ask ourselves, how can we lead positive change from where we are? We often think of change as a massive and overwhelming thing that only iconic people like Gandhi, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, or Martin Luther King Jr can do. But is that true? Creating change can seem overwhelming; with that overwhelm, it's easy to give in to the status quo. However, what if the change you want to see can be broken down into meaningful, actionable bite-size micro-actions? That's where we go for the next two episodes with our guest Alex Budak. Alex is a social entrepreneur, a faculty member at Berkeley Haas, and the author of, Becoming a Changemaker. Alex Budak teaches, speaks, and writes to help people make a positive impact in their lives, career, communities, and society. As a social entrepreneur, he co‐founded StartSomeGood.com; ran Sweden's most prominent social innovation incubator, Reach for Change; and helped Change.org scale globally. Alex has given presentations on leadership, entrepreneurship, and change-making worldwide, from Cambodia to Ukraine, to the Arctic Circle, to UN Agencies, and to leading companies.
