Positive Disruptors
Positive Disruptors spotlights leaders who intentionally make a positive impact.
Presented by Managing Associate Kieran John, in each episode we speak with impact aligned founders, funders, and enablers who are moving the dial on the world's most pressing challenges.
These leaders aren't afraid to take measured risks, they face challenges head on, and most importantly they intentionally make a positive impact. In each conversation we look to understand what drives these positive disruptors, learn from their experiences, and come away feeling motivated.
From the latest in impact investing to how to start and scale an impact venture, 'Positive Disruptors' provides insights and inspiration to the impact community.
