About Power of Passion

Power of Passion is a podcast from the Ferdinando & Luigi Innocenti Foundation, produced with Be the change. Media Network, exploring the value of passion in young people’s lives. Each episode explores the passions that bring people joy, from everyday hobbies to lifelong callings, and the role they play in shaping who we are. Through honest conversations with young people and intergenerational guests, we uncover  how passions are discovered, how they evolve over time, and why they don’t have to become careers to matter. We talk about barriers, motivation, and how making space for what we love can transform the rest of our lives. This series showcases that following your passion doesn’t have to be expensive, professional, or productive to be meaningful; it just has to bring you joy. Tune in on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

episode A Passion for Hip Hop Dance with Reuben Byfield artwork

A Passion for Hip Hop Dance with Reuben Byfield

Welcome back to Power of Passion, a podcast from the Ferdinando & Luigi Innocenti Foundation, produced with Be the change. Media Network. In this episode, host Lily Mott is joined by Reuben Byfield, student at University of Warwick and President of Warwick Hip Hop Dance (EQHO), to explore how hip hop became a powerful form of expression, identity, and community in his life. Reuben shares how his journey began in primary school through a local street dance club, before stepping away and later rediscovering his passion at university. From training in London and Manchester to performing and competing with his team, he reflects on how hip hop has evolved from a hobby into something that shapes how he sees himself and the world around him. Lily and Reuben discuss the role of dance as a tool for self-expression and confidence, the importance of community in helping young people grow, and the realities of navigating stigma around dance as a young man. Reuben also shares insights from his leadership experience, supporting others to find their place within the community and watching their confidence grow. This episode is a reminder that passion can be a powerful way to connect with yourself and others, and sometimes, all it takes is giving something new a try to discover what truly moves you.

episode A Passion for Creative Writing with Zarin Khan artwork

A Passion for Creative Writing with Zarin Khan

Welcome back to Power of Passion, a podcast from the Ferdinando & Luigi Innocenti Foundation, produced with Be the change. Media Network. In this episode, host Lily Mott is joined by writer and podcaster Zarin Khan to explore how creative writing became a powerful outlet for self-expression, identity, and personal growth. Zarin shares how her love of storytelling began in childhood, from trips to the library with her dad to discovering authors who inspired her to start writing her own stories. She reflects on the challenges of pursuing creativity as a South Asian woman, where expectations around career paths can make it difficult to openly embrace passions that don’t always fit traditional definitions of success. Together, Lily and Zarin discuss what it means to truly connect with a passion, from writing as a form of self-care and reflection to finding the courage to share your work with others. Zarin also shares a powerful original poem and opens up about balancing her creative life with a career in engineering, showcasing how different passions can coexist, even when they compete for your time and energy. This episode is a reminder that passion isn’t always about outcomes; it’s about what fuels you, grounds you, and helps you show up as your most authentic self.

episode A Passion for Swimming with Henry Hughes DLY artwork

A Passion for Swimming with Henry Hughes DLY

Welcome to Power of Passion, a podcast from the Ferdinando & Luigi Innocenti Foundation, produced with Be the change. Media Network. In this first episode, host Lily Mott is joined by Deaflympian swimmer Henry Hughes to explore how a childhood love of the water grew into a lifelong passion, as well as a platform for advocacy, resilience, and self-belief. Henry shares his journey from learning to swim as a deaf child in Australia to competing at the Deaflympics and eventually representing Great Britain. He reflects on the early challenges of not being able to hear instructors in the pool, the inspiration he found watching the London 2012 Games, and the series of moments that shaped his decision to pursue swimming at an elite level. Together, Lily and Henry talk about what it really means to follow a passion: going through the highs and lows, building a relationship with something you love, and continuing even when it’s hard. From screaming (or singing) underwater for stress relief to learning that “I swim for myself and only for myself,” this episode highlights the power of swimming in Henry’s life.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
