Episode notes

Special thanks to Triangle for sponsoring this episode. Triangle's founder, Matt, is offering a complimentary one-hour strategy session for founders seeking to grow their personal brand. I can't recommend this service enough, and get in quick as there are only three remaining slots available this month! Get in touch at matt@mattswain.com or book directly at What if the most successful companies of the future are the ones that give back more than they take? In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, host Nick Hague sits down with sustainability strategist, driver of change, and Net Positive co-author Andrew Winston to explore how businesses can move beyond minimizing harm and start creating measurable positive impact. They discuss why purpose-driven companies build stronger competitive advantages, how the five principles of net positive leadership reshape strategy, and why true impact requires looking across the entire value chain. Andrew shares lessons learned from companies like Unilever and Tony's Chocolonely to explain how leaders can build collective courage through partnerships.
