“I think what Effective Altruism is trying to do is change how people give, change how people are trying to do good more generally, and I think we’re taking a longer term perspective where we’re arguing that people should try to be more analytical.” For part one of our eleventh episode, Asanga Seneviratne and special guest Sam Musker sit down with Rossa O’Keeffe-O’Donovan, a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Economics at the University of Oxford and chairperson of the board of One for the World, an organisation dedicated to promoting Effective Altruism. #youth #socialimpact #podcasts #conversations #socialchange #makingadifference #community #leadership #inspiration #motivation #lantern #not-for-profit #projectlantern #oxford #effectivealtruism #research #developmentaleconomics #economics #givewell #onefortheworld #bias #measurement #dataanalytics #poverty #povertyalleviation #evidencebasedgiving #optimisation #giving #donation #charity

“It’s quite easy to sit in an office and think that you’re having a really fantastic impact, but it is really about talking to the people you end up working with and testing with them; is this working or is there anything that we can do better?” For our tenth episode, Naomi Smith and Reegan Quick sit down with Dan Code, an associate consultant with Social Ventures Australia, an organisation dedicated to supporting social impact through offering services like consulting and impact investment for the non-for-profit space. #youth #socialimpact #podcasts #conversations #socialchange #makingadifference #community #leadership #inspiration #motivation #socialventuresaustralia #mba #consulting #impactinvestment #tanzania #artienergy #ubongo #socialenterprise #projectlantern #lantern #sva #philanthropy #melbournebusinessschool #netimpact #nonforprofit #developmentaleconomics #passion #pivot #consultingforgood #support
“We never proclaimed to be advocates…we’re not out there advocating for stuff we’re doers… we want to show people and not tell people” In our ninth episode, Reegan Quick and Asanga Seneviratne chat with Lucas Patchett, co-founder of Orange Sky Laundry and 2016 Young Australian of the Year. They discuss the importance of conversations to those experiencing homelessness, the role of advocacy vs action, inspiring technological innovation in the not for profit (NFP) space and building a nation wide NFP out of their garage. #youth #youthimpact #australia #brisbane #sydney #melbourne #perth #laundry #clothing #homeless #orangesky #orangeskyau #orangeskylaundry #giving #notforprofit #youngaustralians #youngaustralianoftheyear #podcasts #impact #caring #garage #growth #journey #homelessness #clothing #basket #chairs #van #conversations #engineering
