Much like Anne Frank, his family hid from the Nazis. In fact, his father was born and raised in an attic for the first 16 months of his life.
So from a very early age, Jeremy Heimans, CEO of Purpose, knew “that larger events could overtake history and arrive on your doorstep.” It made him want to do something about it.
Since he was 8 years old, he has indeed been doing something about the injustices of the world by mobilizing movements that galvanize people for social change.
Effective messaging requires understanding different audiences and using the right messengers. As a leader of your mission, you need to motivate and reach people. And Jeremy is the guru of motivating and reaching people.
Because people are the power.
That’s why I invite you to tune into this episode. Inside, Jeremy and I chat about how to engage audiences, why it is important to create compelling content, and how to overcome the new power dynamics that spread disinformation.
Tune in to gain his insights and be enormously inspired…
Tune in to learn:
- How can technology and the internet mobilize people in new ways?
- What is the impact of AI on activism?
- How has engaging with audiences become harder with the rise of social media?
