In this powerful episode of Daily Influence, Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with Dr. Zuri Tau—Founder and CEO of Social Insights, a pioneering organization helping foundations, nonprofits, and government agencies turn data into deeper understanding and measurable, community-centered change.

With over two decades at the intersection of research, justice, and healing, Dr. Tau invites us to rethink how we define “success,” why metrics alone are never enough, and how true accountability begins with empathy. She shares her journey from early roots in service and community organizing to reshaping how organizations listen, learn, and respond to the people they aim to serve.

Together, Gregg and Zuri explore:

✨ How awareness drives responsible influence inside organizations

✨ Why stories, lived experience, and somatic wisdom matter as much as data

✨ The challenge of aligning good intentions with real-world outcomes

✨ How to stay grounded in leadership while facing resistance to change

✨ What it means to “come close” when work—and the world—feels overwhelming

✨ The importance of trying without perfection, taking risks, and stepping toward what brings meaning

Dr. Tau’s perspective is a timely reminder that influence isn’t just about sharing ideas—it's about shaping outcomes that honor people, community, and collective possibility. Her insights call us to reflect not just on what we’re doing, but why and how we’re doing it.

If you’re ready to lead with more clarity, courage, and compassion, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
