Tom Rippin left a successful consulting career to bet everything on a radical idea, that the economy could be transformed if we developed the right leaders. That bet became On-Purpose, a one-year leadership programme where associates complete two six-month placements across social impact organisations, receiving mentorship and leadership training along the way. Over 1000 graduates later, including myself, it's become one of the most respected pathways into purposeful careers.


In this episode, Tom traces his journey from academia and consulting to founding a social enterprise, reflects on the challenges of those early years, and shares how the programme has evolved in response to a rapidly changing world. He also offers some hard-won advice for anyone building or thinking about building a social impact venture.


Thank you Tom for this enlightening and enjoyable conversation.
