Charlie Clark - Cotopaxi’s Director of Giving and Cause Marketing

Tate VanderPoel Smith Episode 7

Not knowing what you want to do is a relatively universal experience, but once you’re actually experiencing it—it can feel pretty damn isolating.

That’s why I’m excited to introduce this week's guest, Charlie Clark, and he’s living proof that it’s totally okay, or better yet, even a good thing to spend some time grappling with that question. Because it’s only then that you might unexpectedly come across a career path that you never would’ve thought of, or in his case, even knew existed… Charlie has since figured out what he wants to do, and it’s building strategy for how purpose-driven companies approach giving. Tune in as we explore Cotopaxi’s partner-forward approach, why community-sourced solutions create lasting change, and so much more.

Note: this episode was recorded in November of 2022, since then, Charlie’s title has changed to Director of Giving and Impact.
