Impact with Eddie Wilson

What if success in business was just the beginning? In this episode of the Impact Podcast, Eddie Wilson sits down in Guadalajara, Mexico with partner Sam Robles to break down a powerful concept called cause capitalism.

Instead, it explores how business can be used as a tool to create sustainable impact, build people, and transform entire communities. Through real world examples, Eddie and Sam walk through how businesses can fund purpose, create opportunity, and give people not just resources, but a future. If you’ve ever felt like business should mean more, this episode will challenge how you think about success, impact, and your role in both.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Introduction and What Is Cause Capitalism00:44 – Why Success Should Lead to Responsibility02:09 – Building an Ecosystem, Not Just Giving04:18 – The Problem With Traditional Success Thinking05:32 – Choosing Purpose Over Comfort06:30 – Starting From Nothing in Guadalajara08:39 – Why Sustainability Changes Everything10:20 – Funding Growth vs Funding Survival12:23 – Business and Ministry Working Together13:55 – Why Media Shapes Culture14:12 – Starting the First Business in Guadalajara16:08 – How Business Creates Purpose18:32 – From Survival to Impact19:37 – Creating Long Term Opportunity21:01 – Breaking Dependency Through Business22:19 – Real Results and Community Transformation24:11 – Developing Leaders Through Opportunity25:25 – Giving People a Chance to Succeed25:48 – Final Thoughts on Impact and Growth Hosted on Acast.

What if your calendar is more honest than your intentions? In this episode of the Impact Podcast, Eddie Wilson breaks down one of the most important topics in business, leadership, and personal growth: time. But this is not just another conversation about time management. Eddie challenges listeners to see time as a daily vote. Every hour you spend is shaping the person you are becoming, whether you realize it or not. Through personal stories, hard-earned lessons, and the example of Benjamin Franklin, Eddie explains why your stated values do not matter nearly as much as your scheduled values. You’ll learn how to audit your time, identify where your calendar is contradicting your identity, and start making intentional decisions that move you toward the life, business, health, relationships, and purpose you say you want. If you have ever said you want more discipline, more success, better health, stronger relationships, or greater impact, this episode will make you look at your time differently.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 – Why Time Management Matters in Business and Life00:46 – Eddie’s Core Thesis on Time, Wealth, and Purpose01:39 – Every Minute Is a Vote for Your Future02:19 – Your Calendar Is the Real Ballot03:24 – Every Hour Shapes Who You Are Becoming04:09 – Why Your Stated Values Don’t Matter04:35 – The Three Interviews: Head, Heart, and Experience05:42 – Core Values Are Proven by Action06:13 – Why Truth Creates Better Decisions06:35 – Integrity Means Owning the Hard Things07:22 – Your Scheduled Values Reveal Your Real Values07:54 – When Family Matters, But Work Gets the Vote08:41 – Health, Business, and the Time You Actually Give09:38 – Where Is Your Time Contradicting Your Identity?10:20 – Why Eddie Is Fascinated by Benjamin Franklin11:44 – Benjamin Franklin as a Model for Intentional Living16:50 – Why Intentional Rest Impacts Future Success17:52 – Eddie’s Personal Warning About Pushing Too Hard21:04 – Greatness Is Built in Days Used Correctly22:28 – Why Immediate Comfort Works Against Your Future23:04 – Lack of Clarity Makes Everything Feel Equal24:10 – Most People Are Not Lazy, They Are Undirected25:15 – Leadership Starts With Personal Productivity26:08 – Start Voting Intentionally With Your Time26:46 – The Seven-Day Time Audit Challenge27:26 – How Today’s Vote Becomes Tomorrow’s Identity28:07 – Eddie’s Hot List for Building Relationships28:39 – What Benjamin Franklin Accomplished With Intentional Time29:33 – Your Future Is Decided in Small Hours No One Sees30:29 – Final Challenge Hosted on Acast.
