But we all know that collaborating is hard. And systems? Well, they seem to be allergic to change. So how do we do it without losing our damn minds? On System Catalysts, you will learn from activists, philanthropists, and change makers who put their egos aside to improve the systems that run the world. This season, we’ll be looking into healthcare, marriage equality, migration, climate and more. Join Jeff Walker and English Sall as they go behind-the-scenes of systems change, cracking the code on making the world a better place. System Catalysts is produced by Hueman Group Media.

After a personal experience with his daughter’s life-threatening birth, Garreth decided to tackle a massive but overlooked issue: millions of children lack access to safe surgery. We talk about how one operating room in Uganda grew into a global movement, why most aid models fail, and what it really means to build sustainable systems led by local communities.
