Have you ever seen a film or piece of content where the experience was so visceral, so moving that you couldn’t forget about it for days? Powerful stories can trigger an emotion, maybe fear, confusion, excitement or joy. They make you ask questions — and want answers. In these moments, you’re no longer a passive audience. You’ve become a participant. In this episode, we’re hearing the journey of Holly Gordon, Co-Founder of Girl Rising and the Chief Impact Officer at Participant Media.
