Scrappy Podcast

The future will be shaped by ordinary people punching well above their weight. Scrappy is a podcast about small organizations doing big things. It’s about business owners, community leaders and movers-and-shakers realizing their dreams, in spite of limited resources and significant barriers, with a little creativity and a whole lot of grit.

In our inaugural season, we talk to an innovator attacking food deserts with urban farming, a visionary addressing recidivism with jobs for former inmates, a leader delivering solar and irrigation solutions to rural Nepal, a pioneer converting trash into currency for developing nations, and many others.

Learn from the inspirational stories of these unsung heroes: how they solve problems, recover from failure, and find success against all odds.
