Ep 063: Taking small actions to create a better world, even when you're knackered, with activist Ale Lariu

Ale Lariu was named in Fast Company’s “League of Extraordinary Women” along with the likes of Hillary Clinton and Oprah Winfrey, and was also included in the publication's "Most Creative People in Business" list. So, she's the perfect person to ask how to get our creative mojo back and feel more inspired again. Having lived in the Amazon jungle when a toddler, she has a fearless streak, which she encourages in others - especially women - in order to create a better world. Her expertise is making businesses stronger and more creative and to take positive action - and she's full of practical advice about what we, as individuals can do, to take creative action for better lives (and, indeed, as she says, a better world). She's passionate about helping women find their voices; a mission she has dedicated much of her working life to in setting up the global creative network SheSays. Why? Because she reckons the world would be a better place if more women, in particular, found their voices. She's convinced, for example, there would be less wars and less stupid advertising!
