I read Good is the New Cool: Market Like You Give a Damn by Afdhel Aziz five years ago. And let me tell ya - reading his book lit a FIRE inside of me to work for purpose-driven organizations full-time. Afdhel joins us on today's show to talk about how more and more people are looking for purpose in their work – and how more and more companies are adding meaning to their missions. In fact, purpose-driven consumers will even pay a 35% price premium on a product, “voting” with their wallets AND their values. You'll hear how to win over these conscious consumers.Afdhel is an absolutely amazing teacher, author, and speaker, and his wisdom is extremely applicable, (especially about stories), which he says is a nonprofit's “greatest currency” to get people to care!In This Episode:How Afdhel's 20-year career in brand management was shaken during a trip back home to Sri Lanka for his brother's wedding (the country was hit by the 2004 tsunami!)Winning over conscious consumers who want to buy from brands who care about big issues – and why this can be the lynchpin in them choosing YOU over someone elseWhy stories are the greatest asset you have as a nonprofit – plus, the different layers of purpose according to Afdhel (brand purpose, corporate purpose and individual purpose)What brands have learned from nonprofits, and what nonprofits need to learn from successful brandsHow to attain employees who want meaning and purpose in their work (and how companies are painting a bigger picture when attracting talent)Why nonprofits and brands need to stop hating on each other and instead, learn together to help solve the world's problemsResources & LinksCheck out Afdhel's podcast, Good is the New Cool (and his favorite “fun” podcast, The Rewatchables) and his books, Good is the New Cool: Market Like You Give a Damn and Good is the New Cool: The Principles of Purpose.

If you ask everyone on your team if they know why your company exists, what would they say? And no, "to make money" just won't cut it these days. You might not think such existential ponderings have a place when you're fighting fires, closing deals, and growing the business - but nothing could be more important to your organization's long-term success. Today, we talk with Denise Roberson, who shares her work and research showing that organizations with clear, actionable purposes enjoy many tangible and intangible benefits - profit and longevity being among the most impressive.Today, we talk about what a Chief Purpose Officer does, and we parse out the word salad of purpose, vision, and mission so you have a better understanding on how they all work together. She shares examples from market leaders Unilever and others who are measuring the value and impact of purpose in more accurate ways. We also talk about big mistakes Boards and leaders make when thinking about purpose and what you can do to get maximum benefit instead. Key Takeaways:While vision, mission, and purpose all have different meanings, what is most important is that, within your organization, you are all working with the same vocabulary and all understand what you are talking about and what is most important. Purpose is important for every aspect of business: employees, investors, consumers, customers, and management. Empathy and purpose are important to every company, whether 100 or 100,000 employees. It makes a difference, it gives a business edge, and it is good for the world.  "Purpose has now become a really powerful operating system that goes across the top of the organization. It's a great uniter: It's got this juicy business case that helps attract top talent, reduce turnover, and protects against risks." —  Denise Roberson  About Denise Roberson, Chief Purpose Officer, Omnicom TBWAIn her role as the first-ever Chief Purpose Officer in the Omnicom and TBWA network, Denise is leading some of the biggest brands in the world to actuate their business case for purpose, through focusing on a scalable, differentiated, and business goals oriented approach.  In this capacity, Denise is helping companies connect their brands to value and purpose, and using this unified strategy to create 21st-century value and growth across the entire stakeholder wheel.  TBWA was named one of the World's Most Innovative Companies by Fast Company and has worked with Fortune 500 and world-class brands around the globe such as Apple, Gatorade, Google, McDonalds, Intuit, Principal Financial Group, and the Grammy's.Denise is also serving as a marketing professor for Pepperdine University's Presidents & Key Executives MBA program and has served in a board role for a number of for-profit and not-for-profit organizations.Resources Mentioned: Five Mistakes Boards Make When Thinking About Purpose, by Afdhel Aziz, Forbes CMO CouncilConnect with Denise RobersonWebsite: https://tbwa.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deniseroberson/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/denise.roberson.129Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deniseroberson_purpose/  Don't forget to download your free guide!

Welcome to today's bonus episode of the Decoding Purpose Podcast. I am releasing this BONUS episode to celebrate the launch of the GOOD IS THE NEW COOL Conference in Sydney this weekend and Melbourne next weekend.I always get excited when a guest comes to visit me in the studio and today was no exception.

That person is Afdhel Aziz, and he is an international keynote speaker, author and the creator of Good Is The New Cool, which is a book and a conference that amplifies optimistic, purpose driven and hopeful stories of world change.In meeting Af today, I honestly felt like I was hanging out with a very old friend. A kindred spirit who managed to match my obsession for decoding purpose in our personal and professional lives. Our conversation today went around the world as we dissected purpose as a driving force in the next economy, purpose in brand strategy, purpose in an organisation. Most significantly we looked at the connection between personal purpose and the pursuit of a deeper and more spiritually connected life. There was no stone left unturned.It is clear to me that Af is on a mission to solve one of the biggest problems facing companies and individuals in the 21st century: how to find purpose and meaning in the work they do, and unlock the power of business to do good in the world. Watch the video below to find out about his inspiring journey.Following a life-changing moment when he experienced the devastating effects of the South Asian tsunami in his native Sri Lanka, he embarked on a journey to explore inspiring work. This lead to his first book 'Good is the New Cool : Market Like You Give a Damn' (co-authored by Bobby Jones) which explored the link between purpose and success in companies like Warby Parker, Zappos and Citibank.He realized that he had a burning desire to be of service to companies looking to unleash the power of purpose, which led to him quitting his job in corporate life and touring the world as a professional speaker and consultant, and speaking to tens of thousands of people around the world from New York to Stockholm to Mexico.It also lead to him setting up a brand purpose consultancy, Conspiracy of Love, which has advised Fortune 500 companies like Adidas, Sonos, Bacardi, Mars and Coty on how use the power of purpose to connect with Millennial and Gen-Z audiences. Along with Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and disruptive technology, ‘purpose’ is one of the biggest challenges facing businesses today.

Forget the unicorns and rainbows. We all don’t have to sing “Kumbaya” to establish a good company culture.  “We think of good cultures as these places where people are happy, happy, happy all the time, where there’s no arguments. That is not true. Good cultures are places where people have strong, vibrant, energetic arguments all the time.” (Dan Coyle, Best-selling Author) We won’t be argumentative, but we always want to challenge to standard notions for driving success, and this time on Gartner ThinkCast, we look at what elevates the best groups and teams above the rest of us. Spoiler alert – it does not mean making everyone feel comfortable. Then, marketing guru, branding expert and author Afdhel Aziz helps you elevate your brand above the noise in today’s marketplace: “Know your purpose. Know why you exist as a company beyond just making money.”  And many companies are taking the approach of, “Ask not what you can do for our brand. Ask what our brand can do for you.” But Gartner expert Rick DeLisi says you might want to ask it differently: “It already feels like a smarter, more contemporary, most sophisticated approach. The problem is, so many companies are taking the same, exact approach simultaneously, it’s real hard to differentiate.”  RELATED LINKS Tell an IT Value Story that Executives Will Care About  The Future of Data and Analytics: Tales and Trends from the Center to the Edge  Transform Security and Risk into a Business Function (Panel Discussion)  The Looming Impact of the Emerging Digital Society (Panel Discussion)  Managing the Risk of Artificial Intelligence  The Gartner Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2019  Gartner Marketing Symposium/Xpo 2019  Gartner Conferences homepage THE CONVERSATION RUNDOWN 00:00 – Opening Thoughts 01:53 – Daniel Coyle: Groupthink – Building Great Teams 02:47 – What’s holding our teams back? 04:32 – Three universal rules of successful groups 07:05 – The most important element 08:57 – The Pixar Story 11:34 – Reflecting on the U.S. Navy SEALs 14:08 – The Gartner Webinars 15:30 – Daniel Coyle (continued): The San Antonio Spurs’ champion dynamic 18:40 – Building sincere trust 22:21 – How do we encourage true collaboration? 25:33 – Gartner Conferences 26:54 – Afdhel Aziz: Good is the New Cool 28:39 – Why “good is the new cool” 30:35 – Market like you give a damn 34:01 – They’re not consumers, they’re citizens 36:19 – People are the new media 40:32 – Don’t advertise; solve problems 44:15 – Steps to being a purpose-driven organization 46:40 – Ahead on Gartner ThinkCast 47:38 – Rick DeLisi: Brands Need More Than Values 48:02 – What distinguishes the “corporate brand”? 49:13 – Rising above the brand crowd 52:07 – Are companies aware they need a new approach? 54:28 – How do we differentiate our brand? 57:01 – Nine categories of personalization 1:00:20 – Where do you focus your efforts? 1:02:18 – Closing thoughts We’re all about winning teams and attractive brands this time on Gartner ThinkCast.

In this episode of the podcast - I go down a different path from partnering with Microsoft and other tech giants - to explore how disruptive technology is positively impacting educational outcomes while expanding my focus on the professional journey to help mentor professionals early in their careers. My guest for this episode, Logan Cohen is "early in career" and chose the entrepreneurial route over the corporate route after college. She and Co-CEO Trevor Wilkins embarked on a journey to create an app focused on students achieving better grades, higher attendance and ultimately successful outcomes in life. In this interview, we discuss "partnering" in the broader context of partnerships with technology vendors and sponsors KÜDZOO is an app that rewards students based on their academic achievements. KÜDZOO serves as a resource for schools to increase student engagement and connects brands with Generation Z through a collaborative, educational lens. After KÜDZOO's first school year on the national market, over 500,000 students signed up and 280,000 report cards were submitted to the app. EdSurge named KÜDZOO "The Grade-based Bitcoin." Logan's leadership responsibilities include guiding the vision, strategy and ensuring the execution of value creating milestones for KÜDZOO. She received dual degrees in Finance and International Business from Florida International University. Logan was named to Forbes 30 Under 30 in education for the class of 2016, Magic Johnson's 32 under 32 and CIO's Top 20 Female Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2017. In the interview, Logan shared the impetus for starting the company, how 14-16 year old students in West Philadelphia helped inform the concept, and how KÜDZOO got to 700,000 users in two short years. We also discuss partnerships and how that might expand in the future. As with each of my interviews, we dive into the personal and professional journey for this "early in career" entrepreneur and advice she would give to anyone looking to start a company.
