Turning Awareness Into Impact | A Conversation with Joseph Gitler
About this episode
Some conversations are about impact.
About responsibility.
About what happens when someone sees a problem and decides not to look away.
In this episode of Something New Is Possible, I sit down with Joseph Gitler, founder and chairman of Leket Israel, the country’s largest food rescue organization.
What began in 2003 as a small volunteer effort to address hunger and food waste has grown into a national operation supporting over 415,000 people every week, partnering with 300+ nonprofits, powered by 95,000 volunteers, and rescuing tens of millions of kilos of food each year.
This conversation is an invitation to zoom out.
To reflect on impact beyond ourselves.
And to remember that change often starts not with a perfect plan, but with a refusal to accept “this is just how it is.”
If you’ve ever wondered what meaningful leadership looks like in real life, this conversation is for you.
