- Business
It’s been said that social enterprises are 10X harder to build. You’re not only seeking financial sustainability, but also environmental, social and cultural sustainability. It can be a minefield.
However, there are many social innovators taking the leap and pursuing the dream. What are the tools, experiences and mindsets that drive them? Why are they doing it and how do they stay the course?
That’s the job of “Impact Sessions”. A podcast dedicated to unpacking the leaps of faith of social innovators and creating a resource for the next wave.

An approach worth backing | Louise Nash - Founder of Circularity and XLabs
In this episode Louise Nash deep dives into her influences from her grandparents' market garden to working with global brands and having a hunch that things could be better.
As the founder of Circularity, a circular design agency, and XLabs, a circular economy lab, it would be fair to say that Louise is committed to radically redesigning businesses for a radically resilient and regenerative future.
Enjoy listening to her story and the ideas and approaches that continue to shape her work.

3 Insights for Navigating Uncertainty | Baruk Jacob
Hey Impact Sessioners!
Will that catch on? Haha, probably the last time I use that…
Anyway, I’m always pumped to introduce the guests on the Impact Sessions Podcast and today is no exception!
Baruk Jacob is an innovation facilitator with a deep interest in how psychological safety enables the honest sharing of emotions.
This is important on a number of levels, especially as innovation requires it. It requires truth telling, the ability to leave assumptions at the door and to call each other’s blindspots out.
I can’t wait for you to hear this episode!

Self compassion and kindness can drive deep systemic change | Tui Williams & Shruthi Vijayakumar
I got to catch up with 2 out of 4 of thespiritlab.co team, Tui Williams and Shruthi Vijayakumar, to hear about their journeys towards social entrepreneurship and impact driven work. We cover so much in the 40 minutes we had together. Self compassion, self kindness, stuff that makes us angry but moving towards our inner world reflecting our outer world. Developing disciplines that grow inner peace can lead to being a world that is peaceful.
As always would love any feedback or questions on this episode!

Profit vs Purpose with Rafael Lee | Impact Session #3
A chat with Rafael Lee from Mustard Seed Creative Studio. Rafael is a new social entrepreneur and I really enjoyed recording this podcast as I think sometimes the best people to support us on our journeys are the ones who only 2 or 3 steps ahead. The learnings is still fresh and the insights are newly formed.
