It would grow and people would care about the cause." - Aneesha Raghunathan Last fall I got a message through Facebook from Aneesha Raghunathan, the 18-year-old founder of Hope Line Fashions. I was so impressed with her work as a young social entrepreneur that I wanted to share it with you on this month's Big Vison Podcast.

I don't have as much experience with podcasting considering I just put my first one up this week, but I thought I would share how I did it for anyone who was interested in producing their own. I chose Gcast because you can easily embed your podcast into your blog or webpage. I hope that helps aspiring podcasters.

I attended Saturday, but just like podcamp Boston 1 last year, I learned an incredible amount and met some extraordinary people. Many thanks to organizers Chris Brogan and Chris Penn and all the people who worked hard to make it happen and especially the generous sponsors like Jeff Pulver. This weekend was Podcamp Boston 2.

October 15th was Blog Action Day , a day for bloggers, podcasters and vloggers to write about and raise awareness about an issue. I'm interested in exploring how Changebloggers, people who want to use their blogs, podcasts and vlogs to change the world, can make a greater impact through longer online events, and face-to-face meetups.

While re-reading Echoing Green's book, Be Bold: Create a Career with Impact , I've been thinking about one of its main ideas--that people have moments of obligation. Some people can pinpoint one particular moment during which their lives took a new turn. Other people experience a series of moments that build upon one another.
