Listen "Roasting Social Granola: Timm Duffner / Heyho"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to Communicorn: the podcast where we explore different ways of building and engaging communities.In the first episode, we interview Timm Duffner of the social enterprise "HEYHO" to gain insight into their organizational structure, collaborative practices, and their assessment of impact.
Unicorns or startups that have become billion-dollar enterprises are (almost) every entrepreneur’s big goal. But let’s raise the question: What if we work together and create a community-driven Unicorn?
In the Communicorn Podcast we uncover the roles of social innovation in driving social change. And we ask: What can we learn from them in reshaping the economy beyond profit?
In our very first episode, we welcome Timm Duffner, co-founder and CEO of HEYHO, a social enterprise that employs people with lived experiences to produce high-quality granola. Steffen Farny, one of our hosts, speaks with Timm about HEYHO and how they understand and live the idea of community within their organizational model.
This episode focuses on the role of community in creating inclusive work environments. The conversation highlights how HEYHO integrates empowerment, participatory structures, and long-term resilience into its day-to-day practices. It offers insights into how marginalized individuals can become active contributors in shaping both the workplace and the broader impact of the organization.
