Taking a Scrappy Approach to Social Change: The Advantage of Being on The Periphery
The speaker highlights the advantage of being on the periphery in driving social change, as it encourages exploring all avenues and uncovering hidden opportunities. Unlike those with a traditional, structured education, being on the periphery fosters cognitive diversity, agility, and the ability to adapt quickly. The speaker emphasizes the necessity of resilience in dealing with setbacks, such as losing funders, by continuously reinventing strategies and approaches to attract new sources of support, even in challenging and grueling times.
