In this session I have a discussion with Sue Barker about the proposed changes to the Charities Act in New Zealand, the submission process, the key issues at stake and the "paradigm shifts" of thinking that are also involved. If you enjoy this check out some of the other content at www.theseeds.nz

"Our purpose is to simplify generosity, to make more good happen. We connect your charitable giving with organisations who are making a difference on the ground in the areas you care most about. It's personalised giving made easy, so you can give with more confidence and deeper effect."

Brianne has a focus at Ethique on both purpose (having positive impact) as well as profit (being sustainable) - she has given a lot of interviews but none I could find really focus on her early years - her childhood, the influence of her parents, the first ventures that taught her a lot and what then lead to Ethique. Often we only hear the highlights but in this conversation Brianne was willing to share a lot more details of how things developed and lessons learned. I really appreciated her transparency and the model she is providing for other entrepreneurs who seek to make a lasting impact through the business they start.
