Will I learn from top talent while adding value? Will I be fairly compensated?   He reveals how corporate impact professionals navigate daily tensions between profit and purpose, including prioritizing free disaster-relief products over paying customers.  Key insights include how to distinguish authentic impact companies from those doing "impact washing," why financial skills amplify social change effectiveness, and how established corporations can create systemic change that benefits communities, farmers, and customers simultaneously.  If you’re curious about how to have an impact inside a well-established company, this conversation will show you exactly how it's done.  Essential listening for anyone asking: How do I find meaningful work? What careers combine purpose and profit? How can I create social impact within a traditional business? How do I build skills that lead to bigger impact opportunities?    Keep Going:  💚 Got feedback on this episode?
