Get ready, this week's guest has probably one of the most intriguing careers in sustainability thought leadership imaginable. Not only is it full of creativity, it's full of brains, combining behavioral psychology with gamification and analytic thinking to bring new techniques for creating change to entrepreneurs -- including those in fashion. She's not only the author of the book How to Save the World, host of its sister-podcast, and a speaker on the critical role of creativity, optimisim, and imagination in the craft of social and environmental change, she is also an environmental engineer and software designer. We're impressed that she's combined her passion for the planet and engineering background to design "Fitbit for the planet" apps that help social impact entrepreneurs and sustainability professionals implement powerful data, game design and behavior-change techniques that create real and measurable change. Her approach is designed to sharply tap into an audience's motivational core. Listen in for her thoughts on social entrepreneurship and how she makes creating change a constant in her career.
Meet this week's guest, Katie Patrick, author of How To Save The World.
