Episode notes

I've always been an optimist, i don't know what you do if you're cynical. You just sort of give up. I would not describe the global response as symphonic. The pandamic was politicized from day one. Elick, this is a virusthi iris does not care what country you are in. So long as it can just replicate and replicate and mutate, it is happy.

Gayle Smith is the CEO of the ONE Campaign, the advocacy group founded by U2’s Bono — and last year, she was tapped by the U.S. State Department to coordinate America’s COVID response and vaccine distribution globally. Her experience both inside and outside government gives her a distinctive outlook on how business can and should help on humanitarian issues, from Ukraine dislocation to climate change. She also shares lessons about effective advocacy: tactics pioneered by ONE that can be useful to any organization trying to generate impact.
