Listen Later

In this episode, I’m joined by Andy Kuper Founder & CEO of LeapFrog Investments - a pioneering impact investment firm that has reached over half a billion low-income people with access to essential healthcare, financial tools, and climate solutions. Under his leadership, LeapFrog has raised over $3 billion from global investors and, earning recognition from Fortune as one of the top companies changing the world.


Andy embodies the conviction that purpose andprofit can scale together - transforming industries, delivering outsized returns, and proving that humble, mission-driven teams can reshape the world.

 

Key Takeaways:

  • Markets waiting to be restructured hold the greatest potential.
  • Small, dedicated teams can change the world.
  • Profit and purpose can coexist and drive success.
  • See through your customer’s eyes. Assumption is theenemy of insight.
  • Lead with humility. Listen, learn, and stay curious about what you don’t yet know.
  • Serve, don’t prescribe. Meet fundamental needs rather than defining them for others.
  • Uncover unmet needs. Meeting customer demands sustains; anticipating them transforms.
  • Let experience speak for you. Delighted customers are your most powerful marketing engine.
  • Celebrate progress. Recognise milestones, share credit, and strengthen collective resolve.

Andy is an extraordinary guest. I trust you will enjoy listening to this episode as much as I did recording it.
