This episode is different from the usual interview episodes you find on our channel. Our intention with this episode is to invite you to learn and grow with us as we tackle a topic that is incredibly complex.



We hope you appreciate this episode for what it is: An honest account into our ambitions for this Season of #impact, our most global yet, with our team based in Hong Kong, Honolulu, Sydney, New York and Berlin. 



“I had sleepless nights going over the storyline for this episode. I planned to record it weeks ago, but I kept pushing it back. I felt the stakes were too high. This is my chance to take you on a journey of impact. But what if I fail?” Regina Larko, #impact



#impact founder Regina Larko went into the planning of this Season with wrong expectations. The experts you will hear from in this episode, helped her get a deeper, richer understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals.

As you listen in, you will find yourself gaining new perspectives of the SDGs too. All of a sudden, they won’t feel like a distant set of goals anymore, but instead, they can be understood for what they are:



A universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. 



Though abstract, and sometimes hard to grasp, we will break the Global Goals down for you, not just in this episode, but in all the ones that will follow, so you can find touchpoints with your own life as you listen to the voices of our inspiring guests. 



“Today in 2020, 10 years down the final goal of the 2030 agenda, we are even battling more of the symptoms of that complexity of the world. And the excitement on our part is to see how far along can we really change because we only get one shot.” Pat Dwyer, The Purpose Business



We only get one shot



This episode is our shot to get you on board for #impact Season 5. It is only 20 minutes long, but it has been one year in the making. We started preparing for this Season in autumn 2019. 



Starting from spring 2020 we aired teaser episodes as we went through our #impact Podcast archives, made new connections and experiences. All of that encouraged us to keep asking our guests hard questions: 



How are they measuring impact? Why do they care about the SDGs? How exactly are they tackling them? What worked? What didn’t? In our conversations, we want to find out what keeps them going, even if, at times, all odds seem to be against them.







There’s so much to learn from our guests’ experiences. And with each episode, we will all gain a richer understanding of the Global Goals, and our role in them as well.
