Positive cultural and societal changes do not happen in a day, but they need to start somewhere, and indeed they do not happen by magic. Education is a key driver that can promote, facilitate, and speed up such changes.Contact of different societies, technological evolution, and geographical and ecological factors can initiate societal changes that can take quite some time. Still, sometimes we need to improve our communities faster, which is when movements and organizations can speed up the pace.In today's podcast, we talk about how providing underserved young people with free access to the digital, business, and social skills required to be successful in today's technology-driven global economy can change not only the lives of individuals but also bring much more significant positive consequences in our modern societies.Billion Strong Foundation“To achieve economic independence, we believe there are a billion energetic, determined individuals that, if given a chance, will eagerly acquire the digital, social, and business skills necessary to succeed in today's ever-changing global environment.We want to inspire and uplift young individuals, across the globe, to build future products and services while creating new jobs and new businesses that serve their communities and society. We believe that our framework supports the transformation required for individuals to develop the entrepreneurial spirit required to exist in a technology-driven world.”____________________________Co-HostDr. Susan Birne-StoneSystems Psychotherapist, International Coach, Talk Show Host & Producer, Professor | Mentor at the Mentor ProjectOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-susan-birne-stone-phd-lcsw-62764a18/On Twitter | —Website | drsusanbirnestone.comGuestBusayo Odunlami Global Business Transformation | Change & Culture Ninja | Board Member | M&A | Mentoring | VC On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/busayo/On Twitter | —————____________________________Resources Billion Strong Foundation Websitehttps://www.billionstrong.me____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsBugcrowd 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebBlackCloak 👉 https://itspm.ag/itspbcweb____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-societyAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships
