Amanda Hirsch is passionate about changing the stories we tell in order to change the world. The former editorial director of PBS.org and a speaker at SXSW and Harvard’s Kennedy School, she is the founder and CEO of Mighty Forces, a storytelling company that helps change-makers use their voices to create the world they want.
With a background in improv comedy, the art of improv infuses Amanda’s approach to life and work.
