A proposito di questo titolo

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.

    The role of business - part 2
    Nov 20 2025

    Why have we organised business this way? And are there alternatives?

    In part two, Emily and Ed talk to Patrick Andrews, a former corporate lawyer turned business advisor.

    Twenty-five years ago, Patrick realised there was nowhere in his organisation to ask the hard questions: why are we pursuing mindless growth? Why are we displacing family businesses? Why have we concentrated power in the hands of so few?

    That question has kept him searching ever since. And he's found some fascinating answers.

    If you're building something and wondering whether the conventional model is actually the only model, this is for you.

    The role of business - part 1

    Why are we still organising business the way we do?

    In part one of our two-part series on the role of business, Emily and Ed explore why shareholder primacy has become so dominant, how it's shaped the entrepreneurial journey, and whether there might be a better way.

    They dig into the uncomfortable truth: that the conventional path to success - ie. growth at all costs, burnout, exit - leaves most founders wondering if it was actually worth it.

    If you're building a business and questioning the path you've been told to follow, this is the place to start.

    Entrepreneur and coffee farmer Wycliffe Sande, founder of Blue Turaco Coffee, shares how his own journey, from growing up on Ugandan coffee farms to launching a brand now stocked in Tesco, Waitrose, Co-op and Ocado, has shaped every aspect of his business.

    Wycliffe explains how championing overlooked Robusta beans is about more than coffee: it’s about creating school meals for children, improving farmer incomes, and showing how lived experience can drive genuine impact in purpose-led business.
