1. What It Actually Means to Build an Impact-Driven Business + How to Keep Impact at the Forefront

Welcome, Changemakers! In the first-ever episode of the Changemakers Collective podcast, we’re talking about the ethos of our company: impact. Impact is so much more than a slogan, a list of core values, or even a lump sum donation. It’s about leveraging your company to solve problems in your community, and we’re here to show you exactly what that looks like and how you can start amplifying the voice of change and multiplying your impact today. Some key takeaways from this episode include: You can’t serve who you don’t know. It’s imperative that you get to know the community you’re trying to serve. You will make a much more meaningful impact when you understand who they are and what they actually need. Donating to a cause is great, but how do your business’ services impact the community? That’s the key difference between charity and impact, and it’s how you catalyze change in your community. If you don’t care about who gets credit, you can multiply the impact through collaboration. If you look at other organizations trying to solve the same problem as competition, you’re missing the point of impact.  You started your business to solve a problem and leave a lasting impact in the world, but now the inertia of your business has taken over and you’re too busy and burned out to serve your community. That’s where we come in!
