Welcome to Utopia is Now.
In today's conversation, we talked to Cheryl Kiser, the executive director of the Lewis Institute for Social Innovation at Babson College. Cheryl inspires people to create a positive social impact in any role, any sector, and any community and empowers people to see the UN Global Goals as a $12 trillion market opportunity for addressing the biggest challenges of our time, such as poverty, climate action, and inequality. She is a global leader in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and social innovation and is the author of the book Creating Social Value: A Guide for Leaders and Changemakers. Her infectious energy is sought by countless corporate executives and luminaries, so much so that she has directly influenced the strategy, operations, and mindsets of dozens of Fortune 500 companies, global NGOs, community organizations, and academic institutions.
