A PODCAST ABOUT STUFF THAT MATTERS. Our core purpose is to elevate and celebrate deserving voices. #impact Podcast empowers purpose-driven organisations and individuals to tell their stories in an intimate, authentic way that allows them to stand out by giving them a voice. We also empower our listeners to take action and live a more conscious life, start giving back to society themselves and take small steps towards their own contributions to make the world a better place.

Currently Airing SEASON 6 COMMUNITY
How can we build communities around the impact we want to make in the world?
How do we get people engaged and excited to support our missions when we are all so busy and tied up in all our commitments already. In Season 6 we will delve into the theme of "COMMUNITY", bringing to light the often overlooked aspects of the changemakers' journeys — the trials, tribulations, and the profound humanity behind their extraordinary work.
