📖 Episode 9 Summary

In this episode of Game Changer, Amanda Escobedo shares two stories of individuals who turned frustration into action instead of waiting for someone else to fix what was broken.

The first comes from Venezuela, where a nation’s slow slide into corruption and collapse pushed María Corina Machado—an engineer, a mother, an everyday citizen—to step forward in a moment when most people stepped back. Her courage didn’t come from holding power. It came from refusing to accept what she was seeing.

The second story unfolds in the streets of America, where Teag McCoy (@PureJoyMcCoy) runs every day with an American flag as a simple, powerful act of unity. No speeches. No platform. Just one person choosing to be the solution in a time of division.

Both stories reveal the same truth: Game Changers aren’t defined by titles or roles. They’re defined by the moment they decide to act—when frustration becomes purpose, when hardship becomes clarity, and when one person’s choice becomes a spark for others.

This episode invites listeners to reflect on the places where they feel that same pull, and what might be possible if they stepped forward too.
