Purpose 360 with Carol Cone

Taking the Unreasonable Path to Purpose with Daniel Epstein • Part 1


Listen Later

At Unreasonable, impatience is a virtue. That’s because the most pressing social-global challenges of our day require immediate action, and the relentless pursuit of solutions can literally save lives. 

To learn more, we spoke with Daniel Epstein, founder of the Unreasonable Group, an organization working to solve some of the world’s toughest challenges by investing in bright ideas and early-stage social enterprises. Today, Unreasonable has a community of more than 240 companies across 180 countries, which have collectively impacted nearly 550 million lives. 

Listen for Daniel’s insights on:

  • The value of polarities in addressing challenges—confidence vs humility, patience vs impatience, collaboration vs independence—and how balancing often opposing mindsets can accelerate progress. 
  • How culture, especially in early-stage companies, truly does “eat strategy for breakfast,” and how to scale an authentic culture during rapid growth. 
  • Why and how Unreasonable has partnered with big companies like Goldman Sachs to help find and scale ideas.
