1. The Chicago Startup Meeting
Welcome to the first Idealist podcast. This podcast is all about shining a spotlight on the people, organizations and groups on Idealist.org making connections in their community. In January, we sent an email to thousands of people who use Idealist around the world about our coordinated campaign of Idealist Start-up Meetings. The idea was to connect people who wanted to make change in their community but weren't sure how to start. This one simple email led to led to 400 meetings in 80 countries over the following months.
In this episode we highlight the Chicago Idealist Network by interviewing the hosts (Dave and Katie) and some attendees (Ryan, Jeff and Jackie). They discuss how this group that grew from 9 to 150 members is now making connections within their community.
