TED Talks Daily · How do you turn hope into action? A doctor and a public health expert answer | David Fajgenbaum and Celina de Sola · 26 Sep 2025 podcast

And then also in those successes, how do we try to support other people around us who are working on these same issues, you know, whether they're in government or nonprofit.

And I think, you know, for me, there are days, right, where you're just exhausted and you're like, oh, you feel like you're kind of running in place and everything's so urgent.

I mean, you're saving lives, right?

We're trying to keep people

Also, like trying to save lives, trying to prevent the perpetuation of violence.

And I think I also draw inspiration from the successes and from the people we work with, that determination.

And then one thing I've come to terms with in the last few years is that

I feel like you can hold hope and despair at the same time, right?

Like it's okay to hold those things because if you're trying to be hopeful, we can't really always let go of the sadness and the despair and the frustration.

So it's like, how do we hold those simultaneously in a way that enables us to keep working and keep learning and collaborating?

Yeah, I mean, we started volunteering in schools, right?

Like, how can we be a caring adult for a kid?

Almost 20 years ago when we started Glasswing.

And I think we just, over time, started hearing from the students and from the teachers about, you know, aside from the work we were doing to meet basic needs, so to speak, infrastructure, provide after-school programs, learning opportunities.

We just started seeing that there was this underlying issue and we were seeing kind of the negative impacts of the exposure to stress and trauma.

So I think for us, we've always worked within systems with this idea.

I guess the analogy for your sector would be it's like almost like R&D for systems, right?

So we're like, how can we learn from students, from parents, from teachers?

if we're working deeply in long-term in communities.

And that's what we've been doing.
