Listen now
Description
Tom is a legend of Australia's social enterprise & impact space: he's been creating social enterprises before the term even existed. He is currently the Co-Founder & CEO of StartSomeGood, the Co-Founder of LendForGood, a Non-Executive Director of the Centre for Social Impact, a Mentor at Energy Lab and speaks at conferences in Australia and often around the world. Over two decades in the space, he has never been far from the beating heart of Australia's social good scene - except when he moved to the USA for an American soujourn. Throw in the very serious title of Social Enterprise World Forum 2022 Debate Champion and you are looking at a man not to be trifled with. Unless you want to build a social enterprise. Then, it is highly advised you trifle with him. This conversation with Tom was just a pleasure. He has had such a vibrant life, and has proven you can do it whilst putting ethics and morals first. He's funny, witty, doesn't take himself seriously whilst being extremely knowledgable and skilled at what he does. Honestly, Tom inspires me a lot. Every time I've listened to him talk, I learn something new or am offered a different perspective on a topic I thought I had covered.
