Podcasts about giving back

One of the themes that often comes up on the show is giving back to the community. Today I wanted to highlight two guests who instantly come to mind when talking about giving back—the incredible heart surgeon, Sir Magdi Yacoub and META's Regional Director, Fares Akkad.  This episode is part of our new segment, Double-Take, where I take a deep-dive into a single topic and connect the dots between some of our best conversations. When I spoke to Fares in late 2023, he had just come back from visiting the Za'atari Refugee Camp, where Meta has established a digital literacy program. And while Professor Yacoub already had a distinguished career as a cardiothoracic surgeon, he's leaving behind an even bigger legacy through his charity, Chain of Hope, building long-term impact on the lives of the children in developing communities.

"The core difference is, instead of, once you've paid your employees and your expenses, what's left, instead of it just enriching the investors, it's given away to good causes." —Alex Amouyel   What if doing good didn't mean giving up your paycheck or your dreams?

In this special moment, I had the honor of volunteering and speaking to the amazing students of BAM Youth at the University of Southern California (USC).Through my keynote, “Your Brand Matters,” I shared my journey—from growing up in LA to working at Nike, building Fuel Pasión Podcast, and serving in my community. Most importantly, I reminded students that their story, values, and voice are the foundation of their personal brand—and that it's never too early to start building it.Porque? Why give back? Because when you invest in the next generation, you're helping shape future leaders, dreamers, and change makers.A huge thank you to BAM Youth for having me and for creating space for students to grow, lead, and be seen.Let's keep pouring into each other and fueling pasión with purpose.

Alistair opens up about his training routines, his transition into retirement, and what it's like shifting from elite competition to a new phase of giving back. We dive into his relationship with his brother Johnny, their iconic racing moments, and the emotional weight of helping each other push to the finish—literally.   Alistair shares the heart behind the Brownlee Foundation, which has introduced nearly 90,000 kids to triathlon, and talks about his passion project: the Brownlee Racing Team, part of the SuperTri league. He also touches on his upcoming endurance adventures, including the seven-day Gravel Burn stage race in South Africa, and reflects on how he's redefining competition and purpose in this next chapter of life.   Whether you're an age grouper, pro, or someone just chasing personal growth, Alistair's story is packed with insight, humility, and inspiration.   Follow Alistair: Website: https://www.thebrownleefoundation.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alistair.brownlee/

It's been a decade since PJ Branco's testicular cancer diagnosis in 2015. In early August 2025, he completed his third year as a participant in the PanMassChallenge⁩ with his personal goal to raise $10,000 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The two-day race covers 186 miles, and PJ is one of 1,000 living proof cyclists and volunteers who have been previously or are currently being treated for cancer. All the money raised in this charity event goes directly to cancer care at this treatment center.PJ was the third member of his family to survive cancer. His mom learned she had breast cancer in 2005, and his father received his colon cancer diagnosis a few years later when PJ was in college. In 2015, PJ had his right testicle removed, and three months later, when a scan showed an inflamed lymph node in his back, he underwent chemotherapy. He compares his cycling stamina in 2025 to a time during 2015. After the removal of his right testicle and chemotherapy, PJ considered it an accomplishment to walk up and down his driveway. Now, 10 years later, he talks about life with his wife and four-year-old son, and his dedication to giving back to the cancer institute that treated him and his mother. As he explained in the podcast, "I now give back to those who helped save my life." He shares his story in this episode of Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer from the Max Mallory Foundation.  Send us a textSupport the showFind us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook & Linkedin.

Greg Selkoe has a storied history as a trailblazer in modern entrepreneurial ventures. As co-founder and CEO of XSET, Greg leads the company's vision of creating a gaming lifestyle brand and media company that redefines the digital landscape, connecting with the physical world. Under Greg, XSET seeks to lead a new youth culture through the connective tissue of gaming. Committed to inclusivity, innovation, and constantly evolving with culture (music, art, sports, fashion, etc.) and those who are at the vanguard of it, XSET's foundation is built on dynamic storytelling, fostering community, and empowering cultural leaders. Prior to XSET, Greg served as Co-Owner and the first President of FaZe Clan, where his strategic vision and leadership propelled the company from $0 to an impressive $36 million in annual revenue in 2 years, culminating in a personal financial exit at the peak valuation of FaZe Clan at $400m in 2020. His journey began by revolutionizing the e-commerce landscape with the founding of Karmaloop, a venture he nurtured from a fledgling startup into a streetwear retail titan, amassing over $1 billion in lifetime revenue under his tenure as CEO. Working with Pharrell Williams (Karmaloop Creative Director) and launching 2 other sub-sites, the Kazbah & PLNDR, which each did over $30M annually at their peak and the first YouTube channel launched by a retailer, KarmaloopTV. Karmaloop is 24 years old and still operating. Passionate about bridging socioeconomic gaps, Selkoe had a self-funded non-profit for 5 years called the FBA, run by Malia Lazu (former head of the Harry Belafonte Family Foundation) focused on diminishing the digital divide and fostering entrepreneurship in underserved communities. He is now launching the XSET Foundation, a new 501c3 organization where Selkoe aims to leverage the influential power of gaming and lifestyle to create inclusive opportunities and empower communities, integrating his business acumen with a strong sense of corporate social responsibility. A Harvard University M.P.P. graduate and 2016 Y Combinator alum, Selkoe has been honored as Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year in 2012, recognized as one of Goldman Sachs' 100 Most Intriguing Entrepreneurs, and included in the Summit Series Top 35 Entrepreneurs under 35 with an invitation to the White House. He lives in Boston with his wife, Dina (a Harvard-trained attorney and CLO of XSET), and his 2 young children.

What if the key to navigating career pivots, global uncertainty, and personal reinvention was simply learning to listen to your gut, your experiences, and the world around you? In this episode, we sit down with Rhett Power author, speaker, and executive coach whose journey spans from Clear Channel Communications to the Peace Corps in Uzbekistan to co-founding a thriving toy company. Through bold transitions and unexpected turns, Rhett reveals how following his instincts became his most reliable compass. We explore the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship, especially what happens after the exit and why no one talks about it enough. Rhett shares how executive coaching, when rooted in accountability and lived experience, can transform how leaders show up for themselves and their teams. But this isn't just a business conversation. It's a global one. Rhett brings stories of resilience and gratitude from some of the world's poorest countries, reminding us how simplicity and service can shape our values. We dig into his take on technology, the rise of AI, and how to stay optimistic in a future that often feels uncertain. From mindset and leadership to legacy and perspective, this episode invites you to rethink success and find joy in the unexpected.
