Andy Hawkins, C-3PO (Chief People, Planet, and Purpose Officer) at Business On Purpose and B Leader for B Corp, transformed from corporate IT sales to a community builder across three continents. After moving to South Africa for a gap year that became six years, he tackled community challenges like reducing murder rates through football programs. Now back in the UK, Andy coaches businesses through B Corp certification while building an inclusive community of 26 nationalities in Bristol, proving that purpose-driven living creates unexpected adventures and meaningful impact.
The key topics discussed in this episode:
● Transitioning from corporate life to purpose-driven community building
● Creating solutions without expertise – from township programs to language teaching
● Building inclusive communities across cultural and language barriers
● How purpose leads to nonlinear career paths and unexpected opportunities
● Balancing the "wizard" and the "kid" – bringing authenticity to professional life.
