"You don't operate as a company in a bubble." A high-brow start to the show this week with a mention on PMQs before we dive into CSR, ESG and DB. Then it's Downing Street to Guatemala, making good decisions and learning on the job.  We're joined by Kerry McNally, Group Head of Communities at Flutter Entertainment, to talk through what Corporate Social Responsibility or Environment Social and Governance means in the corporate world. Kerry explains how she didn't take a typical career path, mobilising 10,000 people and achieving the dream of exponential impact. We discuss investing in rel ..read more

"If you've done the crime then you do the time." Jimbo delivers a thank you to our Patreon supporter, Jeremy through his new monochrome webcam and Kenneth dreams of a trip to Turkey. Then it's over to our guest Stu to talk about his work fighting modern slavery and the rollercoaster route which got him there. From a Liverpool council estate to a well-intentioned decision which led him into the wrong scene. We talk about intervention, entrepreneurship in the underworld, warehouse robberies and a SIM card worth £250,000. Then we cover societal change, root causes and being at the end of a phon ..read more

"Organising a Careers Fair to find a job for myself." Tired from the hotel gym, Kenneth lets our guest do the heavy lifting as we discuss the megatrends which have impacted the fundraising environment. Confirmed BDIF, Chris Innes, joins us to talk through the findings from the IFL Forum which immediately preceded the IFC. Expect to tick the permacrisis, AI and the experience economy off your DMG bingo card, as well as confidently dropping a discussion point about truth and opinion into polite conversation later. We also talk through the big issues, including agreeing on the market leaders in ..read more

"Targets, nasty people and shoulder pads" Kenneth has spent all his pocket money in the IFC tuck shop before we meet Helena Sharpstone (the only one on the internet) for a delightful conversation through her career, including her start in sales, an extended honeymoon period in non-profits and why she's investing her own pocket money in chilli plants. Before she reveals how taking an interview for a bet nearly horribly backfired, she talks about healing in the sector, how she finds there's more creativity when there's less resource, people adapting from difficult experiences and the similarit ..read more

"If money were no object, I'd have a personal assistant" We’re checking in after a couple of great episodes, reflecting on Alex and Karen whilst also sharing a couple of secrets from behind the scenes at Do More Good HQ. We’re transported back to car journeys in the eighties by the background music before James makes his second pitch for a ban on tequila. We talk through the big challenge facing Karen at Drinkaware in creating lasting societal change, but perhaps the harder task of Kenneth finding a willing PA. There are thoughts on Alex’s specialism being her superpower before we delve int ..read more

"Prisons are like a miniature universe" This week we’re joined by the CEO of Drinkaware, Karen Tyrell, to talk through her career - from cell rooms to the boardroom. We get into society’s complicated relationship with alcohol and managing the organisation’s relationship with big business. We kick off this week by revealing the fastest parkruns in the country, braving outdoor swimming and diving into a category A prison straight out of university. Karen shares the stories from the front line which led to a passion for supporting people. We find out what kind of chief executive she is, the imp ..read more

"Love was the thing that would change the course of the AIDS epidemic." We start with the comparison of two back catalogues before introducing our guest, the CEO of the Elton John AIDS Foundation. Anne Aslett tells us how she started as a volunteer with a bold idea for a new fundraising venture before spending twenty years with the organisation and becoming CEO of the Foundation which has saved the lives of over five million of the most marginalised people in the world. We talk problem-solving, imposter syndrome and two moments which had a profound impact on Anne's life. There's unconvention ..read more

"Is the UK a fair and free place to live? The answer is no." We are joined by Helen Moulinos for this episode - a knowledgeable, passionate human rights expert and stir-fry aficionado. After growing up in the States she moved to the UK and now leads POhWER, the UK’s largest advocacy charity which upholds and protects the human rights of marginalised, vulnerable and excluded groups. We start the episode discussing how Kenneth and James have been given the keys to the social accounts but their rebellious posting activity pales into insignificance as Helen describes growing up with a crowd of a ..read more

"This is everything a business should be." Ben Greensmith, or Lord Chocolonely III as he’s known at work, is responsible for the sixth largest chocolate bar brand in the UK - Tony’s Chocolonely - and their mission to make chocolate free of child-labour and slavery (spoiler alert - not all confectionary brands adopt this approach). He talks to the boys about his journey , the epiphany on a trip to the Netherlands which led him to join Tony’s and working with the best minds in the business at Innocent Drinks. We discuss fancy dress, purpose, making an impact and the treats Kenneth’s mother-in ..read more

"Never lost it." James and Kenneth catch up after an extended summer break to talk about an upcoming run of episodes featuring some fantastic guests. We hear about Kenneth's skills in the kitchen, why James' lawn is always perfectly mown and interruptions on the dog walk. --- You can find us on www.domoregood.uk or follow us on Twitter and Instagram. Get in touch if you'd like to feature or star on the show.
