As a leader, it is easy to feel confused around the role of purpose in business. Sure, we have all heard that we should ‘Start With Why' or discussed the significance of the ‘North Star' but these terms feel more like jargon than a real and measurable approach with tangible outcomes.In addition to that, in the context of this new normal, and in a world of rapid change, it would be fair to think that maybe our understanding of purpose in business should also evolve. Maybe it's time for a new story. One that focuses a little less on the good for the business part, and a little more on the good for people.Never have we needed purpose more, yet in many ways, the conversations about what it is in a business context remain the same. And those conversations are often vague. Sure we get it. There is a charity or some kind of social impact which is important, but a leader still needs to run the business in an efficient way caring for all of the stakeholders. After all, shouldn't purpose be for the people?As a leader, is there a clear strategy or a how to guide that shows us the way, and from there how do we measure those results? What are the outcomes?It was all of these questions that led me to today's guest. Katie Burkhart. Her mission is to synthesize connections that enable humans to make the most of the time they invest in their work. She's the mastermind behind MatterLogic™, the smart system for running a purpose-driven business, and has quickly become one of the go-to experts in the space.Alongside her consultancy, Katie is a serial entrepreneur building the Matter ecosystem, which currently includes Matter 7 and MatterPulse. Defining matter as equal parts strategic and impactful, these companies deliver critical focus, perspective, and alignment while constantly distilling the big picture into pointed actions. Katie is an internationally recognised keynote speaker, and Entrepreneur contributor. Her work has been published in The Startup, UX Collective, and Boston Content.As you will discover in today's podcast, Katie is a pragmatist intent on being useful, and she likes to eliminate jargon and empty labels which is very helpful in a conversation that often gets lost in just that. If you are a leader, an entrepreneur, or someone keen to understand the nuts and bolts of purpose in business, then today's podcast is especially for you. Welcome to another episode of the DNA Of Purpose Podcast.

I had Devin Bramhall, CEO of Animalz, join me for this episode to talk about content marketing - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Devin is CEO of Animalz, a content marketing agency based out of NYC. Customers include enterprise companies, startups, and VC firms. Before Animalz, Devin was Director of Content at Help Scout (Series B SaaS startup). She's also the former Executive Director of Boston Content, the largest community group and career development resource for content marketers in Boston. Here's what we hit on: How has the concept of content marketing changed (or not) over time; Devin's journey from VP to CEO of the agency; Companies are trying to lead with their thought leadership, to create new and unique content - but how do you do this successfully? To create really good content, you need to analyze what's happening in your arena and write deeply about it; Do you need to hire a writer with domain expertise? What does "founder brand" mean and how can it work as a strategy; How should startups structure their content marketing for success; Hire a marketing leader first, and outsource your marketing execution (if you hire a team that reports to the founder, they'll suck up a lot of time); About Animalz - who you help and what you help with; Focus on consistency vs. stunts even though it seems less sexy; Produce content with a "limited series" mindset vs. the volume play and see how much better your content will be; How do you stay creative?

In episode 49, Glenn Pasch interviews Jay Acunzo, author, speaker and business owner regarding curiosity being a key trait for successful leaders. They also discuss how Entrepreneurship is the "cool" thing to do versus how all encompassing this is. Is this style of work right for everyone?

As a marketer and a creator, you know creativity is essential in this industry. But what you might not know: You could be thinking about creativity all wrong. Now, that sounds a little oxymoronic. Isn’t creativity all about not having boundaries? Thinking big? Creating that “wow, genius” viral moment? Jay Acunzo begs to differ. The award-winning podcast host, global keynote speaker, and author firmly believes creativity is less about coming up with sporadic, disruptive ideas and is instead something that should occur consistently on a more micro level. Spoiler: Putting processes in place to help you harness your creativity is key. Jay has worked for some major tech companies, including Google and Hubspot, and he’s had a hand in helping grow startups, like Dailybreak Media and Boston Content. Now he’s doing his own thing at Marketing Showrunners, where he helps marketers from brands like Red Bull, BBC, Adobe and The New York Times best serve their audiences. On a recent episode of Tech Qualified, Jay explains how he’s rethinking creativity — plus the essential role creativity plays in marketing.
