Be The Drop

Welcome to Episode 8 of Be The Drop Podcast. Today I chat about all things not-for-profit with Ian Steele, Founder of Kickstart for Kids.

Today's podcast guest is Ian Steele, CEO of not-for-profit Kickstart for Kids. A former builder and disadvantaged youth counsellor, Ian started noticing a distinct difference between his kids at home and those he worked with day in day out. After delving a little deeper, Ian came to a startling realization. Kids as close as 5km's out of the CBD were living in impoverish conditions, eating from dumpsters or not eating at all. Ian kicked into action and is now the CEO of Kickstart for Kids. Ian is a passionate, compassionate and yet very matter of fact communicator. He splits his time between acquiring new program sponsors, touching base with volunteers and spreading the word of KSFK to help as many kids as possible.

Today Ian touches on the different elements of a not-for-profit community (volunteers, kids, corporate sponsors), the difference he's making in all these communities, how important the one on one communication with is volunteers is, how easy it is to motivate his community and what happens when he hears 'no.'

In this episode we talk about the story behind the Beard Season movement and how it has grown and is saving at least one person from melanoma each week. Jimmy talks about how every person he meets is invited to be part of their growing story and this has seen the message spread not only in Australia but around the world.

In sharing his Be The Drop communication tip, Jimmy recommends the 'cannon ball' technique - a sure fire way to get attention and bring others along for the ride - but you'll need to listen to the end to hear his advice about this!

Just a heads up, we arranged to meet with Jimmy in a little bar in Sydney, the perfect setting for a man like Jimmy. It does however lend to being a little noisier than we'd like, so apologies in advance for any extra background noise you might be able to hear.

Today, I talk to the passionate, driven and generous co-founder of Vinomofo - Australia's digital wine guys. In this podcast we talk about who their tribe is, the significance of a small combi-van, what their tribe want and how they go about serving their tribe all in the name of doing good business.

I first met Andre in 2014, as a mentor for MEGA, a 12 week entrepreneurship program in which I participated. I was instantly was drawn to his honesty, energy and willingness to share. As always Andre is candid and insightful into what it means to be a tribe leader, and how important that role is, when building good business.

Warning: this episode contains some strong language. We have included the language as it's authentic to the way in which Andre communicates with his tribe. If swearing is not your thing, I recommend that you wait until episode 2 which will be released next Monday.
