Description

The Purpose Brief explores what it takes to create more social good and how it is in all our powers to make the systems and people surrounding it work better.

This isn’t surface-level debate, the podcast creates space for thoughtful conversations with practitioners, funders, and civic minded public leaders who are tackling complex social challenges in the real world. Every month James Johnston focuses on practicalities, proven approaches, and the connections that help scale impact.

If you’re a good citizen who wants to understand how social good and impact can nurtured and how you can make a difference, then this the authentic voice to help shape your thinking.
