Our economic system isn’t working—for communities, for entrepreneurs, or for the planet. Join us for a special book launch of One Size Fits None with authors Alejandro Juárez Crawford and Miriam Plavin-Masterman, as they explore what it really takes to democratize innovation and transform a broken system from the ground up.

In this live conversation, Alejandro and Miriam will share the core ideas behind their new book, offering a bold critique of the traditional startup model and a powerful vision for entrepreneurial ecosystems that actually serve people and place. Together, they’ll unpack:

• Why today’s venture-driven model leaves most entrepreneurs behind
• How communities can build their own pathways to innovation and prosperity
• What “entrepreneurial revolution” looks like in practice
• How democratizing access to capital, knowledge, and networks can drive sustainable change

The event will include the book launch, a moderated conversation, and space for discussion with the audience. It is part of our Lead the Change Podcast event series: Inside Sustainability—a monthly live podcast recording and community conversation.

If you’re interested in systems change, local economies, community wealth-building, or the future of sustainable business, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Light refreshments and small bites provided.
