In our new podcast series,"EvenBetter," we’ll converse with folks from philanthropies, national and community nonprofits, and other organizations—exploring fresh ideas about how social sector organizations can strengthen their capacity to “do good.”

In this pilot episode, we chat with Equal Measure president Meg Long about her six-week journey northward through the U.S. and Canada. Along the way, she witnessed how positions of power shape narratives, and how moving the mindsets of individuals and communities can play a significant role in changing systems—ultimately creating greater opportunities for social change. http://www.equalmeasure.org/ideas/impactblog/evenbetter-podcast-episode-1-narrative-change/
