    Can Business Change the World?

    What if the future of business wasn't about making more money, but making more of a difference? In this episode of Change Loves Company, Dominique sits down with Kylie Flament, CEO of the Social Enterprise Council of NSW and ACT (SECNA), to explore how social enterprises are challenging business as usual and putting people and planet before profit. From leading a social enterprise that employed vulnerable young people and refugees to championing an entire sector, Kylie shares the extraordinary highs, difficult realities and powerful lessons of building businesses that exist to do good. Together, they explore what really makes a social enterprise different, why traditional measures of economic success are falling short, and how innovative organisations are rethinking everything from food waste to funerals. Kylie also shares why she hopes to make her own job redundant — and what it would take to create a world where responsible business is simply business. In this episode: The reality of running a purpose-driven businessSocial enterprise vs B Corps vs traditional businessWhy doing good and making money aren't mutually exclusiveThe challenges facing social entrepreneursInspiring businesses transforming their industriesWhy measuring success beyond GDP mattersWhat needs to change to make people-and-planet-first business the normA hopeful, refreshingly candid conversation about courage, community and the possibility of building an economy that works for everyone. Because changing the world shouldn't be a side effect of business. It should be the point.

    The Power of Your Money to Fund Real Change

    In this episode of Change Loves Company, host Dominique sits down with Justin Medcalf, co-founder of UNLESS Financial, to unpack what our money is really doing when we’re not paying attention. From the inspiration behind the name “Unless” (a powerful line from Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax) to the realities of ethical investing, greenwashing, and shareholder activism, Justin explains why money is never neutral and how it can either reinforce the status quo or help drive real social and environmental change. They explore superannuation choice in Australia, the myths around ethical investing underperforming, the role of regulation, and how everyday people can use tools, transparency, and collective action to align their finances with their values. The conversation widens to climate urgency, stranded assets, critical minerals, and the long-term future we are building for the next generation. Thoughtful, practical, and hopeful without being naïve, this episode is a deep dive into how finance, when guided by care and agency, can become a force for a fairer, cleaner world.
