Here’s the problem...the world is a mess; but a mediator and political scientist think they have figured out a way to change the current disheartening trajectory of our society. Motivated by a shared passion for creating a positive change in the world and empowering others to rise as leaders, Matthew DeSantis and Kelly Nagle founded the Teen Think Tank Project, with the vision of giving a future generation of change agents a voice in the world they will inherit. In order to facilitate the goals of the Teen Think Tank Project and engage both our students and our listeners in thought-provoking conversations, we’ve created this podcast. Each week, thought leaders and experts will join Kelly to explore a specific problem facing our society. We will rely on fact-based information, listen to understand and challenge our own ingrained perspectives. Because at Here’s the Problem Podcast we believe that this is the only way to chart a course towards cooperation, empathy and ultimately effective change.
