About Changing Austin

Changing Austin explores the intersection of business and philanthropy.

We invite entrepreneurs, leaders, and those who are bridging the gap between yesterday and tomorrow.

We explore how to adapt, maintain values, and move forward no matter what.

These are stories of how Austin organizations both change and are changed by our city.
