Join host Fede Vargas for an honest and powerful conversation with Josh MacKinnon, founder and CEO of Do Good, a content company dedicated to authenticity and social impact. In this episode of Super Allies, Josh reflects on growing up closeted in a small town, coming out at 19, and how his view of allyship evolved through lived experience, travel, and leadership.

Together, they unpack the deeper layers of super allyship. Not just standing with others in big moments, but showing up consistently, especially online and in daily life. From community to career, from Toronto to Australia to Vancouver, Josh’s story is about choosing to be visible, vocal, and values-driven.

What You’ll Learn:

How marginalized communities can be allies to one another

The impact of diverse environments on identity and empathy

The shift from in-person to digital allyship, and why both matter

What it means to lead with realism, optimism, and compassion

Why voting is one of the most powerful acts of allyship
