Episode 34: Are you really doing all you can to make a difference?

What do you see when you hold the mirror up to your attempts to achieve impact? Are you doing enough? If not, what are your excuses and assumptions, and what could you do to do more? This week, Mark shares what he learned from a book that transformed how he saw the world, and with it his research and impact - Less is More by Jason Hickle. He goes on to discuss how, in response to this, he has started to engage actively in politics - something he had previously avoided to retain his independence and influence. Achieving impact isn't risk-free, and sometimes we realise that it isn't enough to play safe.You can also read a blog post version of this podcast hereImpact Culture is available as a hardback, e-book and audio book: https://www.fasttrackimpact.com/books.
