Britt Bravo... blogger, podcaster, career coach, nonprofit consultant.
Hi Britt, who are ya? I’m a blogger, podcaster, career coach, and nonprofit social web consultant who teaches individuals and organizations how to realize their big vision and be a powerful force for good. I write for two blogs: Have Fun Do Good and BlogHer, and produce two podcasts: the Big Vision Podcast and the Arts and Healing Podcast. I also host Echoing Green’s Be Bold Podcast. My local paper, The East Bay Express, named me the Best Podcaster/Blogger Most Dedicated to Social Change in 2007. I live in Oakland, CA with my husband, Adriano Bravo, and our cat, Dora, who thinks she is a dog.
What place do you call home? The San Francisco Bay Area has been my home for 18 years. I grew up in Mystic, CT.
What place do you want to visit for the first time? British Columbia
Your inspiration? My parents. They have always put being of service to others first.
A constant challenge? Too many ideas, too little time.
A moment of triumph? Writing for The Huffington Post.
Soundtrack to your day? Pandora Radio. My Leo Kottke and Brad Mehldau channels are particularly good for getting things done.
Superman or Batman? Harriet the Spy
A good factoid? According to a 2008 BlogHer/Compass Partners study, “36.2 million women actively participate in the blogsophere every week (15.1 publishing, 21.1 reading and commenting).”
What type of person would you like to collaborate with? I’m always looking for good web designers and developers to help my clients incorporate social web tools into their sites.
A blog you read everyday? Green LA Girl
How would you spend $10K to do a ton of good (just in case someone with spare cash is reading)? I actually just wrote a post about this, 13 Causes I’d Give to If Friday the 13th Was My Lucky Day.
Want to ask for an “internet favor”?Please check out the Big Vision Podcast where I interview people who I think have a big vision for a better world. You’ll find links to audio and transcripts in this blog post: Interviews with 38 Social Changemakers: 3rd Anniversary of the Big Vision Podcast
Would you like to plug someone else’s project? Women for Women International. I just started my second year as a sponsor to a woman in Sudan.
