Episode 289: Creating The World You Want, with June Sugiyama and Meena Palaniappan

As humans, we have personal motivations to succeed, to make ourselves better. But when the going gets tough and we’re bombarded with challenges, don’t we sometimes feel like quitting?  What if our goal was to impact another person’s life, not just ours? And we stuck to that image of that one person, maybe a handful or even thousands of people we can potentially help. Would we be so quick to give up? In the case of June Sugiyama, Director at Vodafone Americas Foundation, flipping the script and refocusing the lens was a daily practice. Instead of thinking about how impossible a goal is, she thought more about the opportunity. And that opportunity was to transform the lives of women and girls through technology, and make their dreams a reality.  June is a senior leader in corporate social responsibility, philanthropy and social impact. This year, with June at the helm, Vodafone Americas Foundation joined MIT Solve to support technology solutions empowering women and girls.  MIT Solve is an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that advances lasting solutions from tech entrepreneurs to address the world's most pressing problems. In the recently concluded Solve Challenge, CareMother, OneSky Caregiver Training and Raaji are three Solver teams that received $75,000 for the Innovation for Women Prize, made possible by the Vodafone Americas Foundation.
