  • Episode 117: Mobilising Movements with Esther Foreman
    Aug 27 2024
    "Think Big, Get Shit Done, Have Fun"

    Esther Foreman has spent 20 years in the social-good space, time spent running award-winning campaigns, supporting enterprise and building teams. Her career went from Doctors without Borders, Shelter, Help the Aged and Mencap to the Social Change Agency, where she supports over 600 organisations to grow, innovate and support people through fiscal and process hosting.

    We start with some excellent (though quite niche) holiday advice from James before we wonder whether our latest guest is related to Kenneth, and then we dive into a packed episode including a failed PhD, how leadership and cults go wrong and the magic in decentralised technology. There’s a life-changing meeting with Bob Geldof, a reminder of Kenneth’s cover-star status and the unique challenges for middle-children. Then there’s female founders, why you should choose a chauffeur over a babysitter and a cool origin story. We dive into our risk-appetite, getting the money to those making the impact and a call to arms for mutual aid.

    It’s a belter.

  • Episode 116: Are you an Artist, a Manager or an Entrepreneur with Rob Woods
    Jul 23 2024
    Our guest on the podcast this week has worked in fundraising since the year 2000. If you can find a fundraising trainer more passionate and purpose-driven about the sector, we’re yet to find them.

    His business, Brightspot Fundraising, has helped thousands of individuals to unlock their potential in fundraising. Offering a series of expertly constructed courses and programmes we’ve been huge fans of this guest and his role in the sectors for many years.So much so, that this will be his second appearance on the pod, originally joining us in Dec 2017 in what was our 20th episode.

    We’re pleased to welcome back Rob Woods to the Do More good podcast.

  • Episode 115: Delving into the world of CSR/ESG with Kerry McNally
    Mar 19 2024
    "You don't operate as a company in a bubble."

    A high-brow start to the show this week with a mention on PMQs before we dive into CSR, ESG and DB. Then it's Downing Street to Guatemala, making good decisions and learning on the job.

    We're joined by Kerry McNally, Group Head of Communities at Flutter Entertainment, to talk through what Corporate Social Responsibility or Environment Social and Governance means in the corporate world. Kerry explains how she didn't take a typical career path, mobilising 10,000 people and achieving the dream of exponential impact. We discuss investing in relationships, three-pint focus groups and cringing at puns (but using them anyway).

    Kenneth ends by penning a litter-based love-letter to Ron before James get's back to Parent's Evening.
