2 – Nobel Peace Prize Winner Oleksandra Matviichuk: How One Person Can Change the World

Your host, Alex Shevelenko, sits down with Oleksandra Matviichuk — Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Ukrainian human rights lawyer, and head of the Center for Civil Liberties — to explore what it truly takes to defend freedom when the systems around you fail. For over 15 years, Oleksandra has been on the front lines of the fight for dignity, justice, and human rights, earning global recognition from TIME’s 100 Most Influential People list to praise from leaders like Hillary Clinton.

In this conversation, Oleksandra shares how ordinary people can have an extraordinary impact, why collective action is the most powerful force for change, and the hard truth that freedom is never guaranteed — it must be protected every day. She explains how values-driven leadership sustains progress, whether you’re safeguarding lives in Ukraine or safeguarding ideas in Silicon Valley.

The discussion also touches on the resilience it takes to keep going in the face of systemic failure, the role of solidarity in high-stakes situations, and why doing what’s right is often far harder — and far more important — than doing what’s easy.
