Description

The Purpose Brief explores social good and how we can make the systems and people surrounding it work better.

This isn’t surface-level debate, the podcast creates space for deeper, thoughtful conversations with practitioners, funders, trustees, and 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 civic-minded person who wants to understand how social good really happens and how you can make a difference, then The Purpose Brief is for you.
