In our first episode of our WonderTour 100 celebration Derrick, and Drew synthesize learnings from stories like Beauty and the Beast (see ep 67) and Fast & Furious (see ep 64) to develop a recipe for how to set off on a journey that can leave a legacy. The world is a large place and it might seem like the systems are so rigid that even a magnanimous leader can hardly have an impact. And yet, history and our favorite stories tell us that despite the inertia, transformation can be achieved and lives can be touched.
If we desire to change the world, then, as with all good journeys, we must start from the first chapter. When we set out, we tend to either find ourselves longing for a mission that could change our situation and the world around us or else simply thrust into a leadership role where we are challenged to bring about change but feel ill-equipped to do so. Either way, we can use the following recipe that is unpacked on the show to break out of our "small world" and make a lasting impact!
How to Change a Big World Recipe:

- Run experiments to gain information about the "Big World"
