Connecting Purpose and Profit with Kathy Varol

In this episode of the Leadership Tales podcast, the amazing Kathy Varol joins Colin to discuss the importance of purpose in organizations and how it connects to profit. Kathy is passionately driven by the goal to lead “a life well lived,” and aims, and does, to contribute to society in a multitude of ways.

Colin also highlights Kathy's podcast, “Purpose and Profit,” which delves into stories of organizations embracing purpose. The episode concludes with a discussion about Banksy and the intrigue surrounding the artist's hidden identity.
