What this episode covers
Mark Bergel built a wildly successful nonprofit and then walked away. Why? Because impact was missing. In this no BS conversation with Jennifer “JJ” Sutton, Mark calls out the uncomfortable truth too many founders avoid. If your work is not driving real outcomes, it is just noise. From exposing the poverty industrial complex to unpacking toxic charity and checkbox syndrome, Mark drops insight after insight on what it really means to lead with purpose. He is not here for applause. He is here for change. If you are a founder who is serious about making a dent in the universe, this one will challenge everything you think you are doing right and light a fire under what is next
