What if success in business was just the beginning? In this episode of the Impact Podcast, Eddie Wilson sits down in Guadalajara, Mexico with partner Sam Robles to break down a powerful concept called cause capitalism.

Instead, it explores how business can be used as a tool to create sustainable impact, build people, and transform entire communities. Through real world examples, Eddie and Sam walk through how businesses can fund purpose, create opportunity, and give people not just resources, but a future.

What if your calendar is more honest than your intentions? In this episode of the Impact Podcast, Eddie Wilson breaks down one of the most important topics in business, leadership, and personal growth: time. But this is not just another conversation about time management. Eddie challenges listeners to see time as a daily vote. Every hour you spend is shaping the person you are becoming, whether you realize it or not. Through personal stories, hard-earned lessons, and the example of Benjamin Franklin, Eddie explains why your stated values do not matter nearly as much as your scheduled values. You’ll learn how to audit your time, identify where your calendar is contradicting your identity, and start making intentional decisions that move you toward the life, business, health, relationships, and purpose you say you want. If you have ever said you want more discipline, more success, better health, stronger relationships, or greater impact, this episode will make you look at your time differently.

What actually happens after the exit?

In Episode 59, Eddie sits down with entrepreneur Justin Block for a candid conversation about business exits, identity, generosity, and what success really reveals. On the surface, selling a company looks like freedom, money, and a dream outcome. But underneath that moment is a much deeper question: who are you when the business is no longer there to define you?

Together, Eddie and Justin unpack the internal shift that happens after success, why so many founders struggle when the business is gone, and how purpose, generosity, health, relationships, and fulfillment shape a life that actually feels worth building.

If you are chasing a milestone, building a company, or wondering what success is really supposed to feel like, this episode will challenge the way you think about money, identity, and legacy.
