The Gap Minders
The show taking the lead on catalytic conversations spurring listeners to think critically about some of our world’s most pressing issues and be compelled to take action.

We have plenty of gaps in America and right here in San Diego—educational, racial, wealth, health, literacy, and more.
Welcome to The Gap Minders, the podcast taking on these GAPS—one conversation at a time.
To tackle these gaps and lift lives, United Way of San Diego County and the San Diego Council on Literacy have joined forces. The Gap Minders weekly episodes will inform, inspire, and illuminate the gaps and the solutions. Through insightful conversations with a range of notable and engaging guests, including education experts, political figures dedicated to improving our region, and influential changemakers passionate about equity for all children and families, we will make a difference.
Thank you for your time, attention, heart, and mind.
