Creating slack in people’s lives through economic and social mobility

PODCAST: Shifting Mindsets – Scarcity to Strength

Rise Calgary works to ensure everyone moves forward and that no one feels alone during their fight for a better quality of life. They want all Calgarians to      have tangible supports that move them from scarcity to strength. Their programs stabilize peoples’ immediate needs, then empower Calgarians to reach their own goals, all while trying to shift perspectives on poverty, and drive systemic change.

In this episode, Jaclyn Silbernagel sits down with Salimah Kassam, leader of Rise Calgary, to explore what it means to move from a scarcity to strength mindset, the concept of designing systems that create slack for people, and what some of the roadblocks are to shifting perspectives on poverty.
