The B Better Podcast

Emily Mason describes herself as a recovering public servant who is now focused on how we can do good better. 

After many years working in various government type entities, Emily increasingly realised the power of data to better inform policy to create better outcomes for more people. 

That culminated in her creating Impact Lab, a portfolio of tools that calculate the good you do and Frank Advice a consultancy that helps organisations understand the outcomes they want to achieve. 

In our chat, we cover off her thoughts on: 

How charity, philanthropy and business can all do more good better.

Andy spent 17 years building technology to help businesses guide their own success. Until after a relationship break-up he had a good look at his life and what was and wasn't working for him. This led him to a journey of self-reflection about what it means to be human individually and collectively.

Through that process, he realised that there could be more to life and decided to go in pursuit of more purpose. Now he helps people access their innermost truth to reveal their clarity and power from the inside, which guides them through each purposeful moment.

He's recently started a new business FEELREAL. With an agency background, Andy is aiming to use those skills for good. FEELREAL is a social platform and consultancy that serves for-profit businesses, non-profit organizations, and community collectives that are committed to co-creating a just world. 

In our chat, we go deeeeeeeeeeeep on purpose. In amongst some toxic masculinity, inclusivity, white male privilege and childbirth, we cover off:

Conscious Capitalism

WOW!

I thought it would be hard to beat a conversation with Michelle Sharp on purpose but Catherine has just supercharged this podcast!

In this conversation, we got really deep in exploring what purpose is but most importantly what purpose ISN'T!

Listen in to hear about her journey and in particular, the moment she realised that as a highly successful CEO (in the traditional, material sense) she was living in what I call the authenticity gap. Living a life of someone else's construction and a life lacking in purpose and how that was getting to her. 

Most importantly we hear how she took action to do the mahi and go delve into the shadow.

Kapai Catherine and we are stoked you've chosen to make Aotearoa your new home. Definitely Aussie's loss.

Michelle Sharp! Where to start!

She is best known for her role as Chief Executive of Christchurch-based impact organisation Kilmarnock Enterprises. 

Together with the incredible team, she took them on a journey of transformational change, transitioning Kilmarnock from a charity-based model to one of New Zealand’s leading social enterprises. 

Prior to that, she spent over one and a half decades working in the Telecommunications sector, one that she has now returned to. Driven by business excellence and social change, she's now embarking on a new journey with the team at Vodafone. Here she aims to bring the best of the world’s digital innovation and inspiration to all New Zealanders and use digital innovation to drive positive impact for our communities.

In this conversation, we talk about Kilmarnock's journey and how it eventually managed to certify as the worlds first not for profit B Corp.

It's a great chat with an amazing human who is a true exponent of living a life in pursuit of purpose.

Since the dawn of civilisation, there is an idea that has been known to us and yet we have never really fully integrated it successfully into any society.

That is the idea of living a life of purpose.

Since we started recording ideas and philosophies we have known that purpose is the key to the best life you can live.

But right now could be the best possible time in all of history to finally make this idea take hold.

Imagine with me for a second a vision for a future world that we can only barely comprehend.

A world where every human gets to thrive in a way that is restorative to each other and our planet.

Pretty audacious aye?

Well, let's see how I think we can make this a reality if we all chose to live a life like that.

Get ya cup of tea, put your feet up, find your comfy chair, listen in and come with me in pursuit of purpose.
