Take tomorrow with Emily Penn.

Setting your compass on success.

When Emily Penn first encountered the devastating effects of marine pollution, she was 1,000 miles from civilization and on her way to starting a new career in architecture. This literal brush with fate ended up changing her path – and in time, thousands of others.

In this upbeat exchange, Emily recalls some of the learning from the collaborative round-the-world voyages and multi-disciplinary initiatives that have led to a deeper understanding of a complex global issue. She also speaks about the importance of keeping an open mind when problem-solving since a “change in direction is actually what carries you beyond your goals.”
