Michael Trainer
Michael co-created Global Citizen, a movement that mobilized $40 billion in policy commitments and reached 2.25 billion lives. He has spent thirty years learning from Nobel laureates, neuroscientists and wisdom keepers, and he wrote what he learned into Resonance: The Art and Science of Human Connection.
Every week he brings one question to the mic: how do we find the people who make us more ourselves?
