This week, Steve sits down with Cathryn, founder of Growing Good, who has spent her entire career helping nonprofits and mission-driven companies turn good intentions into lasting impact.Cathryn calls herself a "recovering academic and accidental consultant" — and the story of how a single pandemic-era phone call launched a company (and a $500 million cancer research initiative) is worth the listen alone.In this episode, you'll learn:Why "social good" is bigger than writing a check — and four ways you can make an impact starting today, without spending a dollarThe uncomfortable truth about why so many nonprofits collapse within a yearHow to tell if a company's mission is real or just performative — and what it takes to build one that survives controversyWhat Nobel laureates, A-list celebrities, and billionaire entrepreneurs all have in commonThe one misconception about nonprofit work Cathryn is on a mission to changePS: Steve's own church has quietly funded thousands of wells in Africa just by collecting plastic water bottles for over a decade — proof that "planting seeds of good" doesn't require a big budget, just consistency and heart.
