Hello hello, friends! 👋
I know a lot of you are still deep in the struggle with layoffs, and I just want to say—again—that I’m here for you. You’re not alone. There’s an incredible community of job fairies, supporters, and friends rallying behind you. It’s been a wild time, especially in global development, but in the midst of all this upheaval, I’ve been so inspired by the way people are showing up for each other—making connections, opening doors, and building relationships that will last far beyond this moment.
I’ll keep sharing this newsletter with job leads, insights, and ideas to (hopefully) make the process a little easier. And I’m really excited to introduce something new we’ve been working on as a feature of ImpactSource: Warm Intros—a way to make the job search more effective, more efficient, and (most importantly) more human by putting your network at the center of it all. More on that soon but you can sign up for early access (its free) if you want test it out!
And for any employers reading this: ImpactSource.ai is seeing 100,000+ visitors a month—so if you’ve got open roles, send them our way, and we’ll get them in front of the right people.
Sending all of you support, solidarity, and a reminder: you’ve got this. 💙

Your Next Job Might Be One Warm Intro Away...
Big news! We’re launching something NEW to make job searching easier and more effective. 🚀
For the past few months, we’ve been building Warm Intros, a brand-new feature on Impact Source designed to help job seekers—especially those affected by layoffs—land opportunities through their existing network.
Instead of endlessly submitting applications and hearing nothing back, Warm Intros helps you identify where you already have a foot in the door and leverage those connections to get ahead.
How Does It Work?
✔ Upload your LinkedIn connection data
✔ Discover jobs where your network can help
✔ Get a Connection Score to see your strongest paths
✔ Easily reach out for warm introductions
We’re not quite live yet, but early access is open! Sign up at WarmIntros.org or simply reply to this email with "Warm Intros", and we’ll send you a link. It’s 100% free.
We also have a hunch that career coaches and grad school programs might find this valuable to help clients and recent grads navigate networking more strategically. If that’s you, we’d love your input—what would make this even better?
And for job seekers, stay tuned—our latest curated job list drops tomorrow!
👉 Help us spread the word! Forward this email or share WarmIntros.org with someone who needs it.
Let’s make job searching smarter, not harder.
DID YOU KNOW…
….that 1 in 4 Gen Z’ers has donated to a nonprofit because of an influencer or creator? 🚀
While my work primarily focuses on global development and tech for good, I’ve been increasingly drawn to the creator economy—not just as a space for entertainment, but as a powerful force for advocacy, movement-building, and real-world impact.
One organization leading the way? Social Currant.
I’ve collaborated with them on multiple projects over the years and have seen firsthand how they help nonprofits, advocacy groups, and campaigns tap into creator-led storytelling to reach people where they actually are.
Their 2024 Impact Report Just Dropped—Here’s Why You Should Read It:
📈 350M+ views on impact-driven content
💬 30.6M+ engagements—real conversations, not just impressions
🎥 4,000+ pieces of content amplifying critical social issues
💰 $215,000+ paid directly to creators through their self-serve platform
But What Stands Out Most?
Creators aren’t just influencers—they are trusted voices. And when we invest in them, we invest in decentralized, authentic, and scalable ways to drive social impact.
What’s Next for the Creator Economy & Social Impact?
🔹 More always-on creator infrastructure to combat misinformation
🔹 Deeper long-term partnerships beyond one-off campaigns
🔹 Smarter strategies for organizations to invest in digital storytelling
I truly believe this is the future of impact communication. If you work in social impact and aren’t thinking about the creator economy yet, now is the time.
