Listen in as we talk tech, AI, and data as a tool in the fight for immigrant rights.

In this episode, I’m joined by Bartlomiej Skorupa, Co-Founder & COO of Mobile Pathways, a tech nonprofit using AI and mobile data tools to support immigrants navigating the U.S. court system.

Bartlomiej’s story - from fleeing communism in Poland, to burning out in corporate America, to almost losing his vision in Madagascar, and eventually building a mission-led tech platform - is proof that purpose and impact are not linear. They're shaped through life experience and our values.

Together, we unpack:

• 📲 How Mobile Pathways uses AI to cut through time poverty to advance access to immigration legal services

• 🧠 The power of tech to sustain advocacy and scale social justice work - especially in the immigration system

• 🛠️ How changemakers can use tech ethically to support marginalized communities while minimizing harm

Whether you’re an immigrant, advocate, or social entrepreneur, this episode offers a grounded look at how innovation can drive structural change - without losing sight of humanity.

As Bartlomiej shares: “You can’t control chaos… but you can outlast it if you figure out the purpose in the moment.”

As changemakers, we can’t always control what’s happening - but we can choose how we respond.

And we can leverage technology - not as a threat, but as a tool for good.

That’s how we build sustainable change.
