What transforms a swimming coach into a catalyst for worldwide change?

Andrew Moss discovered that whether you're teaching a 3-year-old to love water or helping someone launch a world-changing venture, the biggest obstacles aren't external; they're in our minds.

In this Contours episode, we explore Andrew's evolution from individual coach to ecosystem builder. His breakthrough insight: most people would naturally choose work that helps others and the planet if they felt genuinely supported to overcome internal barriers like fear, self-doubt, and uncertainty.

Key insights for changemakers:

• Why "pull energy" from meaningful work sustains you through tough challenges.
• How thought awareness creates the space between trigger and reaction.
• The shift from lone-wolf leadership to collective empowerment.
• Why treating people as experts on themselves unlocks deeper potential.
• How one supportive voice can ripple across generations of impact.

Andrew's journey from Queens University to creating Circle of Impact and joining forces with Jeff Lamb to build Pathfinders for Good demonstrates how personal breakthroughs scale into movements. His approach proves that when people feel truly seen and supported, they naturally step into work that matters.

From Gord Downie's final challenge to "do something" to sailing around the planet, Andrew's story shows how removing inner barriers becomes the foundation for sustainable external change.
