Listen "Leading with Purpose - a Conversation with Daniel Flynn of Thankyou"
Episode Synopsis
Today I bring you an inspiring conversation with Daniel Flynn, co-founder of Thankyou, a for profit social enterprise selling consumer products* where 100% of profits go to funding projects globally that are aimed at ending extreme poverty and owned 100% by a Charitable Trust.
The topic for today’s conversation is ‘Leading with Purpose’ and Daniel shares his story from the very first moment he knew that he needed to do something big and that nothing would stop him or his co-founders (best mate and girlfriend now wife).
What I love about this conversation is that we dive deep from the outset and Daniel’s willingness to share so openly makes for an experience that epitomises the essence of rawthenticity.
Here are a few of the golden nuggets gleaned from our conversation:-
Great journeys begin with a moment; the moment that started a movement
The irony of water consumption and Thankyou’s first product
What stops us from taking action to make the unseen seen
The phenomenon of cause fatigue
The rollercoaster journeys of Thankyou as highlighted in Daniels’ book ‘Chapter One’
When the going gets tough and you feel like quitting
The significance of mentors
Daniel’s journey to discover his purpose – peeling back the onion layers (key questions to reflect on)
The power of silence to reveal our purpose
Is my ladder up against the right wall?
A profound definition of leadership
The gift of a youthful, childlike mindset
Blue sky days
Being ruthlessly open and transparent
A definition of integrity
The 5 core values that drive Thankyou’s culture
Daniel’s experience of being interviewed by Barack Obama
Practical and precious advice for those struggling with their purpose
The power of ‘what if?’
The strength of the Thankyou tribe of supporters and Thankyou’s bold and cheeky supermarket campaign
*I’ve been buying Thankyou’s product for years; they are great quality and highly affordable -available in a supermarket near you!
