About This Podcast
A podcast for leaders who want to make money AND make a difference
Purpose-led business has a problem: too much jargon, too many buzzwords, and far too much waffle.
Impact Curious cuts through the noise with straight-talking, bite-sized conversations about what it really takes to build a profitable business that also makes a positive impact.
Hosted by Emily Monsell-Holden and Ed Ferris – co-founders of The Impact Apothecary – each topic is explored across two short episodes. In part one, Emily and Ed dig into the messy questions leaders are asking right now. In part two, a n expert guest joins in, to share honest lessons, practical insights and the occasional cautionary tale.
From the commercial case for sustainability to creating cultures that attract purpose-aligned talent, Impact Curious is where profit and purpose finally have a grown-up, no-fluff conversation.
Whether you’re a founder, a leader, or just someone who wants business to be part of the solution, this podcast gives you the clarity and inspiration you need to make change happen.
