#plugintodevin Show – Devin Thorpe for Congress

Guest: Alicia Gettys
Issue: Effectively solving social problems and measuring impact. Unfortunately “Charities do sometimes faileth.” I have volunteered for organizations and left thinking, “Did that really help?” or even worse, “Did my good intention, leave people off worse than they started?” Tools exist to prevent good intentions from going awry. I’d like to empower the world with these tools. I dream of a world in which we put all non-profits out of business due to the lack of social problems.

Bio: Alicia Gettys is the Managing Director for the BYU Ballard Center for Social Impact—the largest university run social Innovation center. Through the Center, each year thousands of students learn industry best practices and skills to solve social problems.
