Difference Makers Podcast is a business podcast hosted by Chartered Accountants Worldwide. It has 74 episodes, with the latest published April 2026.

We created this podcast in order to celebrate the lives and work of people who have transformed communities, businesses, and the wider world, making a real difference in the lives of others. We call them "Difference Makers". Some overcame great personal adversity in their journey. They all showed the knowledge, perspective, skills and capabilities to lead, to achieve, and to make real change when it is needed most. Oh, and by the way... they are all Chartered Accountants! Find out more at https://www.charteredaccountantsworldwide.com
