Crisis Text Line Co-Founders Nancy Lublin and Bob Filbin on Creating an Empathy Revolution

Could Be Better, tbh (with Stacy London)

It’s not everyday we get to hear from radical problem-solvers. Well, today, Stacy is speaking to two brilliant humans who are just that: Crisis Text Line founders Nancy Lublin (Chief Executive Officer) and Bob Filbin (Chief Technology Officer). Nancy and Bob saw things in the world that could be better, particularly crisis services, and acted on it with exceptional passion and commitment. Crisis Text Line, is a tech nonprofit that provides free, 24/7 support via text message which has processed over 130 million messages from people in crisis.
Yes, you know Crisis Text Line as a sponsor of the podcast. But, you have to hear the gut-wrenching story of what inspired Nancy to start the organization, the data they’ve been collecting around pain and how they are transforming crisis services via text messaging.
