Established thought leaders with verified media credentials.
Each episode of The Impact Files podcast explores the personal stories and leadership challenges behind meeting a business’s near-term financial needs, while creating lasting wellbeing for people and planet. We examine the roles that marketing, media and communications play in shaping trust, demand and impact. Our objective is to provide insight and encouragement for business leaders on a purpose-led journey, showing how financial performance can be aligned with long-term sustainability. Hosted by Ned Wells alongside a sustainability expert co-host, each episode features one guest: an experienced decision-maker in either a ‘green brand’ – founded as purpose-led – or an ‘amber brand’ – not founded as purposeful but now on the journey.
Ned Wells hosts The Impact Files, a business show with 25 episodes published.
