Impact After Hours

Impact After Hours

What are the world’s biggest changemakers really like off duty? Impact After Hours takes a fun and rare peek into the lives of your favorite social impact leaders (and ones definitely worth knowing!). If you want to kick back, laugh and be frivolous (all while changing the world), you’re in the right place. In each episode, you may find a great book recommendation, a new travel destination, or a unique after-hours hobby. You’ll also hear guests answer tell-me-something-good questions they never get asked. Because what happens outside of work can have an impact, too. New episodes drop Wednesdays at 5pm EST.
