We hardly ever give ourselves credit for what we have achieved already, always hustling and trying to reach that next goal, that next milestone, grow our impact, scale our reach. 

This time of the year is perfect for hitting pause, even if just for a few days and just be. Being grateful for where we are at at in this very moment. Not comparing ourselves to others and their amazing achievements, but celebrating our own.

  • Reflecting on the things we did achieve in the past. 
  • The little and big milestones. 
  • The impact we made. 

We took a moment to look at the impact that #impact made since we launched in Spring 2017

Some of our #impact journey milestones

Since #impact launched in Spring 2017 

  • We put out 4 Seasons of #impact Podcast! 
  • That’s 100+ episodes!
  • 70+ hours on air for social good!
  • Featuring 60+ impact organisations (Non-Profits, Social Enterprises and Startups)! 

We supported the featured organisations to get more exposure, find volunteers and donors, connected them with each other so they could scale their impact

  • #impact founder Regina Larko mentored and introduced 5 co-hosts on #impact.
  • Regina also supported many new Podcasters inside and outside of Hong Kong to get their own show off the ground. 

One of the biggest #impact achievements of 2019 is the launch of Regina’s Podcasting Online Programme Start your Podcast. Make an impact. Now she is able to empower even more people globally to get their voices heard with her mentorship guidance.

#impact Podcast made an impact on our community too!

“My favourite part is definitely when the speakers share how they started. After all, they are not superheroes, but people like you and I! This podcast is great to remind us that everyone can have an impact, whether it is global or local!”

A #impact listener from France.

In our End of Year Special, you will hear from one of these people as he shares how he got started. It’s one of the most most precious and empowering #impact recordings we did to date. One of our early recordings from Spring 2017.

It impacted our team and listeners immensely. There are so many learnings in this recording that are so useful for anyone trying to make an impact with their work.

Its our little New Years present to you. 

All the way back in Spring 2017 we sat down with Clean the World Founder and CEO Shawn Seipler.

Join us as Shawn shares about scaling and measuring impact, about not being ashamed to sell your impact idea and to always keep improving, learning and growing. It’s an encouraging story of resilience and how one simple idea, that started back in 2009 in a garage can reach global impact.

We take Shawn’s advice to heart and Clean the World has scaled their impact globally since we last spoke. For our listeners here in Hong Kong, Clean the World has an amazing and very dedicated team here in our city too, lead by the incredibly talented Gyneth Tan Murphy. If you ever look for a way to give back and donate your time or skills, you should definitely check out Clean the World Asia at cleantheworldasia.org

There is a lot ahead for #impact in 2020.

As we are wrapping up Season 4 (we still do have 2 more awesome stories to share in the new year so watch out for these ones!!), but at the same time we are already curating inspiring stories for our upcoming Season 5 launching in spring 2020.

It will be our most global Season yet, themed around the Sustainable Development Goals with 4 co-hosts joining #impact from Berlin, Seoul, Sydney and Hong Kong. You’ll meet them soon! 

Get on our newsletter so you don’t miss the launch!

All the best for an exiting 2020 and thank you so much for following the #impact journey. We appreciate you so so much!
