Listen Up People

We Educate People season one began April 2019, as the brainchild of co-hosts James Miles & Nancy Chang, two award winning culture shifting leaders that were interested in having fun, joy and engaging in conversations to connect with listeners who believe in decolonizing the future.

We Educate People season one brought local guests from various industries to talk about our collective humanity and how we shape the next 100 years.
