Tune in to Good Business podcast, as Honeycombers and Launchpad founder Chris Edwards chats with the masterminds behind the businesses with a positive impact on the world...
Looking for inspiration on how to create a meaningful company or a great community that cares? Or perhaps you’re navigating towards a sustainable business in 2023? We’ve got just the thing. Tune in to Good Business with Chris Edwards, a new podcast that goes behind the scenes with leaders of brands that have people, planet and profit at the core of their mission.
The inspirational stories behind heart-led businesses and conscious companies
It’s no secret that the business world is rapidly changing. As consumers demand more ethical, transparent and values-led companies (to align with their own values), more of these heart-led businesses are changing the status quo. Whether it’s building forests with water sales, creating net-zero restaurants or attempting to get 1 billion people to consider vegan options – there are some wildly ambitious entrepreneurs across Asia who are making real change… and creating really good businesses.
“Helping other entrepreneurs reach their dreams has been a big part of my life. Last year, with the help of my amazing team, I created Launchpad, a community support powerhouse for other entrepreneurs, where I spend my time coaching, helping and uplifting others,” Chris shares.
But, as someone who’s always flush with new ideas and concepts, she wanted more. And that led to the debut of the Good Business podcast.
“I selfishly wanted to learn from the seriously amazing business minds, CEOs, and incredible entrepreneurs we have in Asia – to understand how we can create businesses that not only balance business, sustainability and ethics, but also have a positive impact on the world.”
Chris calls it the triple bottom line: people, planet and profit. Intrigued yet? Join her for a weekly dose of inspirational stories that will fuel you with ideas, courage and tenacity for your own journey. Because you never know where an idea will take you, right?
What to expect each week on the Good Business podcast
With multiple episodes of Good Business already launched, here’s what to expect. The first episode stars “accidental hotelier” Andrew Dixon, founder and owner of luxury resort getaway Nikoi Island in Bintan. If you’ve ever wondered whether luxury and sustainability can co-exist with profit, he divulges how he built his eco-friendly business with community, culture, conversation and commerce at the core. Sustainability is a journey, and you’re not going to nail it in one day, but that’s okay – just keep at it!
Next, episode two features abillion founder Vikas Garg, who talks about scaling a sustainable social media platform through partnerships and community. If you’re searching for a way to connect with your community while making conscious purchases, you’ve come to the right place. Since 2017, Vikas has made an impact by donating $2 million, helping 60 non-profit organisations, feeding over 41,000 hungry children and replacing 580,000 animal-based meals. Tune in to find out how he accomplished it all.
Want to create your dream life? Listen to the chat with Christine Amour-Levar, who’s a consultant, co-founder of two award-winning NGOs, and the author of Wild Wisdom: Life Lessons from Leading Teams to Some of the Most Inhospitable Places in the World. You’ll learn how chance meetings can change the course of your life, and how movements gain momentum step by step.
And for our Bali-loving community, you’ll wan to keep your eyes peeled, because Chris will soon be chatting to the masterminds behind Indosole (the people paving the way for recycled footwear right here on the island), as well as Alya Annabi of GreenPush, who is helping companies integrate sustainability into their business models. And we are personally very excited to listen to the change-makers at Desa Potato Head, who are transforming the travel landscape and inviting guests to immerse in good times, while doing good too.
