While data and statistics can show us the evidence of progress, it’s the human story behind the numbers that always gets us. Each episode introduces you to the people actually doing the work, showing how individual action creates collective change, and how persistent, purposeful effort turns hope into reality.

Through intimate, in-depth discussions, we explore what drives these people, how they overcome seemingly impossible challenges, and what their work tells us about humanity's capacity for progress.
