Simon’s understanding of how to build a for-profit-Impact company is unmatched! HIs 2012 best selling book “We First” on how to build a purposeful company was ahead of its time and is as relevant today as it was then. Consumers, investors and partners are demanding that companies embrace and implement transparent ESG polices. Simon can teach you how. Even BlackRock is on the record saying that they will not invest in companies that don’t have a transparent purpose led mission. Simon is the global leader in helping companies define and implement that mission. Lead With We is a must for any entrepreneur.

Every interview by Simon is filled not only with inspiration, but also real world application and humanity. His mastery of purpose in business, branding and storytelling brings out gems in each episode that are translatable across industries. I continue to learn from each new episode and look forward to more from Simon & his amazing WeFirst team.

Simon has been working to transferm the world of how to make business more authintic while still expressing value to consumers for years and quite frankly this podcast is a welcvome addition to his already wonderful platform. It's inspiring to actually listen to how businesse develop into being a service for us and "we" being a service for buinsesses. Never putting profit first. Love how IBM is focusng on solving problems. Thanks guys.

So refreshing to hear these leaders contributing in a time we need it most. Great listen!

Love hearing stories of how people do well by not putting profit first including more well known ones like Jeni’s Ice Cream and new ones that are on their way

This content is perfect for businesses looking to help make an impact in the world. The concept of “We First” has helped me shape my business for an uncertain future.

As a new small business owner who’s brand was tested by our handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and BLM Movement acceleration, this is a super relevant and interesting series! Hearing how purposeful brands built themselves, navigated crisis, and some become even stronger because of crises, has been inspiring and thought provoking.

Simon Mainwaring has been living this conversation authentically and with passion for years. Elevating the concept of “WE” and right action for a new world has never been more important than it it now. Subscribe and enjoy!

I’ve been following Simon Mainwaring ever since I heard him speak at a conference on social branding. Simon is an inspiring storyteller, interviewer, and expert in branding and purpose. I look forward to tuning in to the next episode!

As an avid podcaster and podcast listener myself, Mainwaring not only impressed me with his interview chops but also with the caliber of his guests. Five stars!

Purpose = people = power and profit. Businesses who lead with their values and brand always win with me. So interesting to hear how businesses think about using their own purpose to serve and to profit.

I consider Simon one of the forefathers of the purpose in business movement and have followed him for years. I’m so glad he’s bringing his insights to this medium to continue spreading the conversation around connecting business to purpose in a way that creates a better tomorrow. Highly recommend to anyone interested in embracing purpose as a means to pave the road to a brighter future.

Simon’s podcast brilliantly explores what makes businesses successful and how businesses can drive positive change for society. Lead with We is consistently inspiring. He offers perspective and insight on employee engagement, making sure your brand resonates, and aligning your brand with a mission of positive social impact. This is a must listen for everyone from the next generation of business leaders to currently successful business leaders.

Simon and his team has done it again with the perfect podcast for these changing times! This is for movement builders or anyone looking for inspiration, practical applications by leading brands and lessons learned from extraordinary leaders committed to business as a force for good… a “how to” lead with purpose and pathway to social impact.

I go to Simon for ways to convene purpose in our marketing efforts. I’d recommend this show to anyone who is looking for a unique perspective for how to align their brand with a mission beyond themselves. I can’t wait to see what else is to come.

Nice to listen to something inspiring but also incredibly succinct. I enjoy these, thank you.

Simon brings his gift of pulling together extraordinary people to extract invaluable wisdom.

In today’s chaotic world, Simon and the voices on this podcast help future leaders of change gain inspiration and ideas for action.

This podcast is just what the doctor ordered! Love Simon’s work, and it couldn’t be more relevant or timely now. We NEED to be having these conversations, and I’m happy to hear it here. Brilliant topics, guests & host. (The accent helps, too! ;)

We have been given a tremendous opportunity to pause and reflect on where we are headed as a collective. Many of us have come to realize that WE must do better. As we navigate this uncharted territory and define a “new normal”, Simon’s podcast helps to plant ideas that represent seeds of change.

Simon and We First have been walking with our company for many years now. Like this podcast, Simon and his team teach, coach and serve: one relationship at a time. This podcast is a great example of how you and your business can come to be part of the solution and part of the “We”. Simon and We First are great teachers and coaches because they listen and learn from the relationships they have developed over the years. They don’t teach theory, they make relationships, lead by example and model best practices based on what they have learned from collaborating with others. This podcast is up close and personal about how to put “We” First.

Inspirational conversations with the leaders of notable businesses driving purposeful change. A treasure of examples that can be easily adapted to whatever business you are in.

Really enjoyed listening to this podcast! Simon takes big ideas and big topics and along with his brilliant guests, breaks them down so that change and societal growth seem possible and within everyone’s reach. Well done!

Really enjoying these episodes as it brings together world class leadership to discuss purpose and ways that leaders and brands are making positive social impact 👌🏽👏🏽 Mainwaring is on point where he crystallizes how, why, and who is making a meaningful positive IMPACT.

Now, more than ever, it’s inspiring to understand how companies, like Tom’s, have been working for the greater good, especially during this pandemic. Simon started talking about the concept of “we” almost a decade ago. During that time he has worked with companies like Tom’s to help them refine, articulate and activate their purpose. He’s shown us that the future of profit has to be purpose. As we’ve all seen, our collective future hangs on the concept of “we.”

Simon is a man who walks his talk and leads by example.“Lead with Wee“ has been his mantra throughout the many years I’ve had the pleasure to hear, experience and integrate his wisdom… Enjoy.

Very uplifting, inspirational AND needed in these troubling times. Very much looking forward to more Simon. Thank you!

Very insightful and useful for the times we live in!

I really enjoyed the TOMs interview and hearing about how a company can grow and Evolve and still continue to do the right thing.

But I was wrong. This podcast has taught me so much. It’s informative yet still feels like a conversation between friends. Great stuff!! And perfect for my commute

I dig this podcast because it gives me perspectives I have never heard before. It is always important to have a growth mindset and to always challenge your beliefs and your perspective especially when you are a team leader of business owner.

This is one of a must listen podcast. So many great information and insights to run your team and your businesses. Simon and WeFirst have done exceptional job. Thank you!

This has never been more important. Purpose and the conversations Simon has with top leaders will apply to almost any business owner, biz executive and more.

Simon Mainwaring is a tour de force! His breadth of knowledge is incomparable and his application of that knowledge is exemplary. His concept of “We First” has proven to be prophetic and really the ONLY was to do business in this highly connected world. If there were ever to be a Mainwaring church, I’d be one of the first members. Thank you for all that you do!

Excellent podcast, as a founder of a lifestyle brand, there’s so much great actionable content here 👌.
