You don’t need money or power to start a movement. In this Shop Talk, Bill and Alex break down Malcolm Gladwell’s three types of people who make ideas spread - mavens, connectors, and salesmen - and how a small group with one of each can move the needle on any issue in your community. Figure out which one you are, find the other two, and get to work.

In this episode, Jason Janz shares why he believes poverty is solvable and how his organization CrossPurpose helps people move from poverty to prosperity. This is a conversation about dignity, opportunity, and what it really takes to help someone climb out instead of just making poverty more comfortable. If you’ve ever thought poverty was too big a problem to actually solve, this episode will challenge that belief.
