Title: Becoming a Changemaker
Author: Alex Budak
Category: Startups & Entrepreneurship, Business Strategy, Career Growth, Motivation & Self-Improvement
You don't need a title or a big platform to create change—so why do we keep waiting for permission? Sam and Sophie sit with that question as they unpack Alex Budak's refreshingly practical take on leadership.
They walk through the core frameworks: the changemaker mindset, microleadership, leading from the edge, and reframing failure as a growth tool. Budak's concepts like the personal board of advisors, intentional renewal, and power with rather than power over get real-world examples. The pair also explore vulnerability as a superpower and how introverts can lead authentically.
This episode is for anyone who's ever felt stuck without a formal title or doubted their ability to make a difference. The takeaway: changemaking is a skill you can build, starting with small everyday actions.
