In this episode of Capital for Good, we speak with Jonathan Soros, chief executive officer of JS Capital Management LLC and co‐founder of Athletes Unlimited, a new model of professional sports and a reimagination of the way business can — and should — show up in the world. In this wide-ranging conversation, Soros explains how his lifelong commitment to public policy and public interest work — with experience in government, politics, the nonprofit sector, and finance — has led to the launch of Athletes Unlimited, a reimagination of a professional sports company and a new approach to social enterprise. We discuss the state of impact investing and the advances of innovations like public benefit corporations and the limits to scale and impact that motivated Soros to experiment with “mission equity,” the novel capital structure at the heart of Athletes Unlimited. We learn about the rapid growth of this new company —premised on the business case for investing in female athletes and sports — and showcasing a range of responsible and player-led business practices, such as athlete participation in governance and ownership, an enlightened approach to employee health and well-being, racial equity, climate change, and the championing of athlete and fan civic engagement and leadership off the field. We also explore how this business model could be expanded to any number of companies and sectors.

Today I'm speaking with Kay Tear, from Business Reimagined, who is challenging the development industry - to support people to change their thinking and feeling rather than focusing on their behaviours.Kay shares how are thoughts are not real and are actually created from our experiences and memories of past situations. And that if we change how we think about something, how we feel about it and how we respond will also change. By doing this we can be happier, kinder, more compassionate and we can find our own flow more!

Sometimes the business world can feel like a "snake pit": a nasty, cut-throat environment where people will say and do almost anything to make a sale. As Kingdom-minded Believers, how do we conduct ourselves in this dark and ultra-competitive environment? By "moving in the opposite spirit": going against the grain of the culture by treating clients–and even competitors–the way we'd want to be treated. In practice, this can seem totally crazy and scary; requiring a deep trust in God. Jonathan Wield (Managing Partner of Unbridled Wealth and previous podcast guest) shares compelling testimonies of what this can look like. With an uncompromising integrity-first sales approach, Jonathan and Unbridled Wealth are top financial industry sales leaders, as well as a shining light in the darkness. That light is what led me personally to become not only a client, but now also a full-time Advisor with Unbridled. You don't want to miss this powerful episode!

What a privilege it was to have Danny Iny on the podcast this week. Danny runs a company called Mirasee, where they help visionary businesses and entrepreneurs to make a huge impact through teaching and sharing huge value with their audience. He's also the bestselling author of several books as well as the host of his own podcast, Business Reimagined. But something close to Danny's heart (and a huge part of his business) is showing how entrepreneurs can become teachers and use education in order further their success and impact. In fact, he's written a bestselling book on the subject called Teach & Grow Rich, which he's recently updated and will be releasing the second edition imminently. So I wanted to talk to Danny about his story of how he stepped into being a teacher in his business and also talk about the book itself. In the Episode, We Talk About... Danny's story of going from $250k in personal debt to living his dream life through teaching and inspiring others. How creating a different story around your 'failures' can prevent you from always holding yourself back. How to cope when everything seems to be going wrong in your life. Why teaching is a 'different kind of opportunity' and how to use it to make more impact in your life and business. Why it's so important to find your 'democratised access' when it comes to teaching. How to figure out your personal zone of genius that you can teach to others. The power of using 'education' in your business, as opposed to just information. What Danny sees as the three biggest reasons people stop themselves from succeeding when starting to teach others (and how to overcome them).
