Summary

We can't fix the world alone. But we all know that collaborating is hard. And systems? Well, they seem to be allergic to change. So how do we do it without losing our damn minds?


On System Catalysts, you will learn from activists, philanthropists, and change makers who put their egos aside to improve the systems that run the world. This season, we’ll be looking into healthcare, marriage equality, migration, climate and more. Join Jeff Walker and English Sall as they go behind-the-scenes of systems change, cracking the code on making the world a better place.


System Catalysts is produced by Hueman Group Media.

  • What Nobody Tells You About Research (with Dr. Zuri Tau from Social Insights Research)

    What Nobody Tells You About Research (with Dr. Zuri Tau from Social Insights Research)
    Apr 28 2026

    Dr. Zuri Tau is a sociologist and licensed mental health professional, as well as the founder and CEO of Social Insights Research and Liberatory Research.


    Zuri is challenging the idea that research is neutral by amplifying BIPOC perspectives and shifting power in research and evaluation. Today, we discuss why traditional methods often fall short, and what it looks like to practice “liberatory research” in real life.

    Building a System? Try NOT Sending Help (with Garreth Wood from Kids Operating Room)
    Apr 21 2026

    Today, we kick off season 5 with Garreth Wood, an entrepreneur-turned-philanthropist, now serving as chairman & co-founder of Kids Operating Room (KidsOR).


    After a personal experience with his daughter’s life-threatening birth, Garreth decided to tackle a massive but overlooked issue: millions of children lack access to safe surgery.


    We talk about how one operating room in Uganda grew into a global movement, why most aid models fail, and what it really means to build sustainable systems led by local communities.
