62. Who can help the leader’s vision travel?

A leader’s vision cannot ignite through the leader’s relationships alone, but those relationships can provide the first spark. In this episode, Jonathan identifies the trusted people and networks that could help his vision travel across institutions, communities, and cities. Together, he and Marianne consider how credibility, cultural reach, committed action, and carefully chosen connections can create a strong base from which a wider collective begins to form.
