Each episode of Flip the Switch is a deep dive into the world of one of these individuals, their personal connection to the global challenges and the way they found to contribute towards solutions for a better future. Listen to their personal journeys and be inspired. It’s time to flip the switch and start creating a future that leaves no one behind.
