Interviews with 56 Changemakers: 5th Anniversary of the Big Vision Podcast

For the past five years I've had the amazing opportunity to interview 56 changemakers for the Big Vision Podcast who I think have big visions for a better world.  It really has been one of the highlights of my work.  I come away from each interview energized and inspired

You can view all of the interviews, and subscribe to the show, on iTunes, or on the Big Vision Podcast's landing page. You can also listen to them on the player below. After you click the triangle to start listening, click on the blue box in the bottom left hand corner of the player that says, Menu.  Then, click on Episodes. You'll be able to scroll through, and play the shows that peak your interest. 
I've also listed all of the interviewees with photos and links below.

Please note that because the conversations take place over five years, some people's work and lives have changed. They have new job titles, work someplace else, and in some cases, have new names! The way they're titled below is how they were listed at the time of the interview.

If you have suggestions for people I should interview in 2011, please let me know in the comments.
