About the Podcast

In February 2007, Mitch Landrieu, Louisiana lieutenant governor, launched an unprecedented effort to find and promote effective solutions to the challenges facing Louisiana after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Landrieu founded the nation’s first government-run Office of Social Entrepreneurship, making Louisiana the most hospitable place in the country for proving the most effective models for social change.

In this conversation with Andrew Wolk, Landrieu shares how Louisiana is demonstrating the potential for big change as civic leaders team up with social innovators. He details some of his work as head of the Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism; in particular, to rebuild New Orleans and strengthen the entire state by restoring and enhancing its cultural assets. Landrieu spoke at the 10th anniversary of the Social Enterprise Summit, held in New Orleans and sponsored by the Stanford Center for Social Innovation.
