In this conversation, social entrepreneur Russell McLeod, Founder of Mightyhum, shares his career journey, starting from his love for team sports and the collaborative aspect of it, which led him to pursue a business career. He worked at Free the Children and played a key role in launching the Me to We movement, joining the social enterprise arm of the organization and helping grow it to 42 million in revenue. After leaving Me to We, he founded Mightyhum, a consulting firm that supports purpose-driven businesses.
Russell emphasizes the importance of aligning a team and the challenges that can arise when things don't work well. He discusses purpose-driven organizations and his passion for working with companies that have a social impact. Russell also talks about the obstacles he faced during the collapse of WE and the effect it had on his personal and professional life.
Finally, he discusses the shift from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset when it comes to success & wealth and the importance of building resilient and profitable businesses.
"When I see the problems in the world, I actually think that business is uniquely positioned to potentially be the most important tool for solving them." ~ Russ McLeod
