56 分钟But I love the fact that actually you'll learn more about what it means to be resilient, bold, kick ass, get stuff done person from that non literate woman food farmer in an indian village.
She's got what it takes to show us what it really means in terms of what's possible.
Today's guest, Kathy Burke, grew up in Perth, Australia.
Kind of a regular kid.
Went to uni, loved music, loved to go out, party and dance to indy and punk rock.
And then a series of things happened that exposed her to the world of activism, got her involved in politics, and eventually led her to be exposed to global hunger.
What she learned was it was this massive, massive problem.
Billion people hungry around the world.
And at first it just seemed too overwhelming, as it does for many of us who are exposed to things like that.
But she eventually circled back and began to participate in an organization, the Hunger Project, that she then eventually volunteered for and ended up heading up as the CEO in Australia and has spent now two and a half decades of service traveling around the world, helping to build a global, almost army of volunteers of more than 400,000 people on the ground in different countries, some of the toughest places on earth.
In this quest to do profound work, we go into this journey what she's seen, some of the stories and her relentless focus on possibility and developing people and telling a story and joining with a whole lot of other people in countries to end global hunger by 2030.
Really excited to share her story and her lens on the world.
I'm Jonathan Fields.
This is good life project.
There are a lot of different places I want to explore with you.
So you're from Perth, which is maybe the only major city I've actually never been to in Australia.
Have you been to Australia?
I have.
Tell me a little bit about Perth.
It's the most isolated city in the world, so it's like two and a half thousand k's from the nearest capital city.
