The Impact Stories
As we look ahead to Katapult Future Fest 2025, scheduled for May 21-23, we find ourselves reflecting on the deep connections and pivotal moments from KFF24. The videos, photos, and podcasts captured last year aren’t just archives – they’re reminders of the real conversations and shared ideas that continue to shape our collective path forward.
We’re genuinely excited to introduce a new interview series that brings to light the voices of the investors, changemakers, founders, and thought leaders who were at the heart of KFF24. These individuals, each with their unique perspectives and relentless drive for change, played a crucial role in advancing the mission.
The content, produced by New Nordic Way, offers a rich collection of content, including on-site studio recordings, thoughtful reports, and in-depth podcast interviews with remarkable individuals from KFF24. The discussions span vital topics like activism, systemic impact, mental health investment, ethical AI, innovative approaches to land and sea stewardship, and the role of art in storytelling for social good. These conversations reflect the real-world expertise and personal reflections of global pioneers, offering honest insights into what the future holds.
These interviews are a reminder of the community we’ve built together and the shared sense of purpose that drives us. Listening back, we’re reminded of the hope and determination that fuel our ongoing work. We remain committed to this journey, knowing that the road ahead is filled with opportunities to make a meaningful difference.

Prepare to be inspired and ignited into action after listening to the stories and wisdom that our hosts Kate Byrne and Lynn Casey gleaned from this powerhouse female panel - Julia Zhou (Tidal Impact), Fatema Hamdani (KH Aerospace), and Susie Alegre (Author & International Human Rights Lawyer).
We tackle the compassion curse - that women are supposed to focus on compassion - not profit, the learnings from multi generational workforces, and the opportunity that LocalX brings to us all. We all agree that there has never been a better time to be a woman as we claim, step into, and own our power.
