Our guest today is Jo Owen, co-founder of Teach First and one of the UK’s most influential social entrepreneurs. Over his career, he has built and scaled some of the country’s most impactful social enterprises.
In this final episode of Series 2, we ask: what does it take to turn an ambitious idea into an organisation capable of changing an entire system?
Mary Rose and Jo reflect on the early days of setting up Teach First and what he wishes he’d known then that he does now. They discuss “the hustle”, the different kind of resilience that leading a nonprofit demands, something we see every day at The Fore.
A must-listen for social entrepreneurs looking to scale their organisation, and for forward-thinking funders who want to deepen their understanding of the sector.
