About This Episode

This week we welcome Grady Powell, founder of Openfields, a social impact consulting firm committed to helping leaders imagine and implement a more creative and just future. He is also co-founder of Capita, a nonpartisan think tank working to build a better future for children and families.

Following up on last week’s conversation with Greg Galle about communicating the impossible, this week, we take on the world of what’s possible in communications and strategy. We talk with Grady about what it means to work in social impact, how he helps leaders think differently about the actions of their organizations, and how to take ideas to the next level for a more just business environment.

Grady’s work at Openfields and Capita sits at the intersection of research, public policy, social innovation and design and we’re thrilled to be able to bring this conversation to you all this week. Our deepest thanks to Grady Powell and his team for making this conversation happen.

Web Designer & Communication Nerd

I'm Kristine Neil — a communications strategist who has spent 20+ years designing websites. I have an MBA and degrees in Communication and Political Science, and I think of web design as one tool in a much bigger toolbox. The real work is figuring out what you're trying to say, who needs to hear it, and what's getting in the way - the website is just where all of that comes to life. I write here about eCommerce, web strategy, and making the complex feel a little more human. I’m also the Founder & Creative Director of kristineneil.studio, where I take on larger organizational website re-design projects.
