Dr. Paula Cordeiro is a trailblazing educator, leadership expert, and social entrepreneur working at the intersection of business, nonprofits, and global development. A former dean and founder of the Nonprofit Institute at the University of San Diego, she's reshaping how we think about leadership, wealth building, and the power of purpose-driven enterprises. Through programs like the Global Entrepreneurship Fellowship, she's connecting San Diego to the world and bringing the best of global innovation home. This Episode:  What if nonprofits didn't just serve communities but built wealth within them? And what if businesses weren't just engines of profit but vehicles for social good? Paula Cordeiro is championing a new model for leadership—one where empathy and equity are as important as profit margins. From food co-ops and employee-owned companies to certified B Corps and social enterprises, Paula sees a growing movement to blur the traditional lines between nonprofit and for-profit organizations. The goal? Create more sustainable, inclusive, and locally rooted economies. In this conversation with Grant, Paula shares how her upbringing in a vibrant immigrant community shaped her worldview, how Mondragon, Spain, sparked her passion for co-ops, and why she believes San Diego can become a global hub for socially minded business innovation. She also reflects on the power of teaching empathy, and the opportunities to address wealth gaps.  Key Moments:  [11:20] Defining social enterprise: people, profit, and planet  [17:49] The evolving challenges facing nonprofit leaders today  [23:43] The case for employee-owned businesses and generational wealth  [31:16] How the Global Entrepreneurship Fellowship is building local and global bridges  [43:27] Empathy as a core leadership trait—and how it can be taught Key Terms: Social Enterprise: A business—either nonprofit or for-profit—that exists to advance a social or environmental mission. These organizations prioritize impact alongside profit and often reinvest earnings into their mission.B Corporation (B Corp): A private company that has been certified by the nonprofit B Lab as meeting high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. Benefit Corporation: A legal business structure recognized in many U.S. states that allows companies to pursue both profit and a broader social purpose. Unlike B Corps, benefit corporations are not certified but are legally bound to consider their impact on society and the environment. ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan): A program that gives workers ownership interest in the company. ESOPs are a way to build wealth for employees and create a more engaged workforce. Co-op (Cooperative): An organization or business owned and operated by a group of individuals for their mutual benefit. Co-ops can take many forms, such as food co-ops, housing co-ops, or worker-owned businesses. Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Nonprofit Institute at University of San Diego – A hub for nonprofit leadership and research Mondragon Cooperative – A global model for employee-owned enterprises Pete Stavros TED Talk – A talk on rethinking  corporate structures to expand who benefits from a thriving company Take Action: Explore Social Enterprise – Learn how your organization could blend mission with sustainability Support Employee Ownership – Advocate for inclusive business models in your community Invest in Empathy – Build leadership programs that teach listening, reflection, and care Learn from Global Models – Look to places like Rwanda, Spain, and beyond for innovative approaches to business and development Join the Conversation – Share this episode with nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers ready to build a better way forward

If you're the founder of a scaling brand, you've likely thought about selling your business. But when should you start preparing, and how do you find the right buyer?In this episode, we discuss mergers and acquisitions with Charles Lanceley, Managing Director of Alantra's consumer team. Alantra is a leading investment bank specialising in consumer brands. Charles has worked on major deals, including Fuel 10K, Strong Roots, and Grenade, and shares what makes a brand valuable—from strong financials to a compelling investment story.He explains why building a business solely to sell is a mistake and how focusing too much on an exit can hurt your chances of achieving a great one. You'll learn why being ‘for sale' is never ideal, how the best deals happen behind the scenes, and why top M&A advisors don't just find buyers—they already know who's in the market.We also cover common founder mistakes, like underestimating due diligence and not preparing for the workload of an exit. Charles highlights how an advisor can ease this process, letting founders stay focused on running their business—because if performance dips, so does the deal's value.Finally, we discuss how private equity and trade buyers view businesses differently, the impact of market cycles, and why the best way to maximise your exit is to build a brand buyers can't ignore. Whether you're considering selling soon or just want to create a lasting brand, this episode is packed with essential insights.

Last month, B Lab Global made an announcement that affects some small-to-medium existing B Corps. If your B Corp is due to submit for recertification between July 1 and December 31, 2025, and you would like to be evaluated under Version 6 (i.e., the current version of the standards), you must submit your assessment by June 30, 2025 — six months earlier than many of us expected.If you miss that deadline, or your submission date is in 2026 or later, you will be moved onto the new standards (new B Corps still have until the end of 2025 to submit under Version 6 of the standards).Emmy and Ryan explore why this change caught many off guard, what it means for businesses of different sizes, and how companies can navigate the revised timeline. Whether you're directly affected or just keeping up with the evolving B Corp landscape, this episode offers essential insights to help you stay prepared.View the show notes: https://go.lifteconomy.com/blog/last-call-current-version-v6-b-corp-standardsSupport the showWe want to hear from you!

Did you know that 1 billion women globally are menopausal at any given time? Yet, until recently, the retail industry has largely overlooked this audience. Well....that's all about to change!In this episode of Brand Growth Heroes, we explore the groundbreaking work of GenM, the menopause partner for brands and retailers, and its mission to reshape how women shop for menopause-friendly products.Our latest #BGH guest, Heather Jackson (CEO and co-founder of GenM), is the unstoppable force behind GenM. She shares how GenM is pioneering the MTick accreditation—a universal shopping symbol that helps women find products proven to support their menopause journey. With major players like Tesco, Boots, Sainsbury's, Unilever, and Procter & Gamble already on board, this is more than just a trend—it's a retail revolution.This episode explores how GenM convinced top retailers and brands to take menopause seriously and why menopause-friendly shopping is a permanent category, not a passing fad.We discuss the commercial opportunity for brands that get it right, the science-backed credibility of the MTick accreditation, and the groundbreaking launch of Tesco's first-ever permanent menopause-friendly aisle.Heather shares eye-opening insights, including the startling reality that only 5% of women feel confident navigating menopause, and just 2% feel they are thriving. With 86% of women seeking non-HRT solutions, the demand for menopause-friendly products has never been greater.Why You Should Listen: If you're a founder, brand leader, or retailer, this episode is a must-listen. The menopause market isn't niche—it's 20% of your customer base and finally getting the visibility it deserves.=============================================================A small favour: If this episode inspires you to think about new ways to drive business growth, please hit FOLLOW and even leave a review!

In this episode of Que Bola, I had the pleasure of speaking with Caiti Waks, a passionate nonprofit organizer dedicated to ocean conservation through her organization, Debris Free Oceans. Our conversation delved into the pressing issue of waste management and the urgent need for a shift towards a zero-waste lifestyle, particularly in Miami-Dade County. We kicked off the episode by discussing Caiti's background and what inspired her to dedicate her life to environmental advocacy. Growing up in South Florida, she developed a deep love for the ocean, which was further solidified by a transformative experience in Nicaragua, where she witnessed the harsh realities of waste management in impoverished communities. This eye-opening moment propelled her to take action, leading her to establish environmental initiatives during her high school years and eventually pursue a career focused on ocean conservation. Caiti explained the concept of zero waste, emphasizing its aspirational nature and the importance of fostering a circular economy. We explored the challenges of implementing sustainable practices in a consumer-driven society, where single-use plastics dominate. Caiti shared her optimism about the incremental changes happening in Miami, highlighting the growing awareness and demand for sustainability among consumers and businesses alike. Throughout our discussion, we tackled the complexities of engaging diverse communities in environmental efforts, particularly those facing economic hardships. Caiti stressed the need for inclusivity in the conversation around sustainability, ensuring that all voices are heard and that solutions are tailored to meet the unique needs of different neighborhoods. We also touched on the innovative programs Debris Free Oceans is spearheading, such as the Zero Waste Miami initiative, which aims to unite businesses, nonprofits, and government entities to collaborate on waste reduction strategies. Caiti shared insights into their mentorship program for college students interested in ocean conservation and the various community events they host to raise awareness and foster connections among like-minded individuals. As we wrapped up the episode, Caiti's passion for her work was palpable, and her belief in the power of collective action left me feeling hopeful about the future of our oceans and the environment. This conversation not only highlighted the importance of individual responsibility in combating waste but also showcased the potential for community-driven solutions to create meaningful change. Join us for this inspiring episode as we explore the intersection of creativity, entrepreneurship, and environmental stewardship with Caiti Waks from Debris Free Oceans.

A new initiative called the "Purpose Pledge" launched earlier this week.

The intersection of purpose and profit is redefining modern careers, and our latest episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon explores this compelling shift with guest Georgii Enthoven. A Harvard MBA and global business leader, Georgi shares her fascinating career journey, insights from her upcoming book Work That's Worth It (launching April 8), and the importance of intentional careers that merge contribution with compensation. The Future of Work: Purpose and Profit Go Hand-in-Hand As capitalism reaches a tipping point, thought leaders worldwide, are exploring how businesses and careers must evolve. A growing number of professionals are no longer satisfied with choosing between financial success and meaningful work. Instead, they are finding ways to achieve both. Georgina, who once struggled to balance her personal drive for impact with a high-earning corporate career, realized that the key isn't an "either-or" approach—it's "and." Purpose and profit can and should coexist. This realization led to her book, which offers guidance on building careers that sustain both personal well-being and global impact. How to Build a Career That Matters During the podcast, Georgi outlined a framework to help professionals align their work with their values: Identify a Problem Worth Solving: Careers should be built around real-world challenges that inspire action. Whether it's sustainability, social justice, or healthcare innovation, finding a mission-driven focus is key. Merge Ambition with Impact: Many professionals, like Georgina, initially succeed in high-paying jobs but feel unfulfilled. Shifting toward work that aligns with personal values doesn't mean giving up success—it means redefining it. Intentionality is Essential: The modern workforce spends approximately 90,000 hours on their careers. Georgina emphasizes that these hours should be spent wisely, creating lasting contributions while ensuring financial stability. Learn from Trailblazers: The book Work That's Worth It features inspiring companies like Client Earth (holding governments accountable for environmental policies). The stories provide a roadmap for anyone seeking to build a business or career with impact. If you prefer to watch the video, click here:  Why This Matters More Than Ever The demand for purpose-driven businesses is growing rapidly. Companies that align with ethical and social goals are attracting top talent, loyal customers, and long-term success. The rise of B Corps and social enterprises demonstrates that impact-driven business models are here to stay. What's Next? Georgi Enthoven's Work That's Worth It is set to be a must-read for professionals seeking to balance financial success with making a difference. As a leader in purpose-driven business development, she will continue guiding individuals and organizations to rethink the way they approach their careers. Final Takeaways Work Should be Intentional: Careers should contribute meaningfully to both personal and societal well-being. Success is About Impact, Not Just Income: The highest earners don't always feel the most fulfilled. Find a balance. The Future is Purpose-Driven: Businesses that prioritize both sustainability and profit will shape the next generation of success stories.

In this episode of the "How to Protect the Ocean" podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the pressing issue of climate change and the challenges posed by government inaction. With the recent political shifts in North America, particularly the incoming administration in the United States, there are concerns about the rollback of environmental regulations and policies that protect the ocean and climate. Key points include: Government Inaction: The episode highlights the potential consequences of a new U.S. administration that may prioritize economic interests over environmental protection, including the exemption of billion-dollar projects from environmental regulations. This could lead to increased fossil fuel projects and further exacerbate climate change. Impact on Wildlife: Lewin discusses the changing diets and health of polar bears due to climate change, emphasizing how their food sources are being affected by shrinking ice coverage. This serves as a reminder of the broader impacts of climate change on wildlife and ecosystems. Local and Global Consequences: The podcast also touches on the alarming projections for sea level rise, particularly in vulnerable areas like Florida, where cities may be underwater by 2050. This situation raises concerns about climate refugees and the socioeconomic impacts of climate change. Empowering Businesses for Change: Given the inaction from governments, Lewin emphasizes the importance of supporting businesses that prioritize environmental and social responsibility. He introduces the concept of B Corps—companies that balance profit with purpose and contribute positively to the environment and society. Examples of Positive Action: The episode highlights several B Corps, such as Bose Brewing Company, Four Oceans, Patagonia, and Nada, which are making significant strides in sustainability and environmental impact. These companies demonstrate that individual and collective consumer choices can drive change, even when governmental support is lacking. We encourage you to take action by supporting responsible businesses and making conscious consumer choices to combat climate change, emphasizing that collective efforts can lead to meaningful change in the face of governmental inaction.
