Episode Details

“The question is not just how do you raise more money. It’s how do you make the mission bigger than you?” — Niiamah

Join Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Meg Lowman for a live coaching conversation where they explore what happens when a mission becomes bigger than the person who started it.

This session explores rainforest conservation, the challenge of saving forests faster, and why funding alone may not solve the problem. Meg and Niiamah explore succession, systematizing outreach, building partnerships, and creating experiences that bring influential people into the treetops and into the mission.

You’ll take away:

- Why a powerful mission can become too dependent on one person

- How immersive experiences can turn awareness into action

- Why scaling impact requires more than raising more money

Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.
