For instance? Instagram is one of my favorite apps \u2013 I like to follow people from different cities, towns and countries. Like me, they\u2019re snapping every-day shots of buildings in their cities, street shots, the architecture. It\u2019s the daily stuff, the grind that I really love. It\u2019s not a documentary, it\u2019s not some slick Travel Channel thing. It\u2019s just people \u2013 from Tehran, Tokyo, Chicago, Bahrain \u2013 taking pictures but still connecting in a powerful but personal way. This episode is an interview with SUSANA TORO. Toro is one of four women behind an online collaboration called 168 LAT. In their words: 168LAT brings together people in different coordinates to highlight some of the most relevant global issues, ranging from design to geopolitics. We believe in catalyzing the potential of experiences around the globe as a tool to foster innovation. Here\u2019s what\u2019s cool about it \u2013 these four woman all live in different countries\u2014and yet manage to share content created by different photojournalists and writers every 168 hours from a different latitude on Instagram. Hence the name. In this episode, we talk about the inspiration behind the site, how they use technology to share stories from around the globe, and some of Toro\u2019s favorite stories from the site, from around the world.
