Episode Synopsis

What if the foster care system wasn’t broken beyond repair, but simply waiting for entrepreneurial leadership to reimagine it? In this episode, Sandra Bravo MBA’87, an associate professor of practice at Babson College, shares her bold 440K Project, designed to bring the number of children in foster care from 440,000 down to zero. Host Kara Baskin explores how Bravo’s approach breaks a massive challenge into actionable solutions, such as technology, adoption campaigns, and community partnerships. Together, they uncover how visionaries turn impossible problems into possibilities.SHOW NOTESSandy’s Bio: https://www.babson.edu/about/our-leaders-and-scholars/faculty-and-academic-divisions/faculty-profiles/sandra-bravo.phpBabson Magazine Profile: “Fighting for Those Too Often Forgotten” by John Crawford, Babson Magazine, Summer 2023Sandy’s TEDx Talks:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9pGl1Lrd90Sandy appears on “Exceptional Women” podcast: https://www.audacy.com/podcast/exceptional-women-1556e/episodes/sandy-bravo-on-exceptional-women-55602440K Project- https://440kproject.org/
