In today's episode, I'll be joined by Sanjay, who is a freelance software designer whose company name is Its Me Sanjay. Which is easy to remember and bloody charming.

Sanjay and I worked together many years ago, and he is the closest thing to a real-life Ted Lasso as you’re ever likely to meet.

So in this episode, we talk about the power of being a generalist. People often quote the phrase, "jack of all trades master of none", but forget the end of the quote is "but oftentimes better than a master of one". We talked about the role risk plays in learning and how sometimes the best form of marketing is just being authentically yourself.

Which if you’re Sanjay, I totally get it; the guy's amazing.

While we had some sound trouble on this one, I still hope you enjoy.

Welcome to The Impact PosCast, where we explore how to build valuable businesses that make a positive impact because we believe you should be able to have both.

In today's episode, we were joined by Jacinta Le Ralph, the owner of Champagne Electric, a collective of awesome wedding vendors who come together to make sustainable weddings that bring the vibes.

Jacinta is my wife, and I wanted to have her on as part of the first episode because without her starting Champagne Electric and all the subsequent business strategy chats in long car rides to Canberra and over a beer or 2 on a Friday night, The Impact Positive Company wouldn't be here today or at least it would look very different.

In this, the first episode, I wanted to bring you, the audience, an abridged version of some of those conversations.

We talked about how to embrace your values and make them a core part of your business; we talked about the role risk plays in starting a business; we had a chat about how Jactina approaches creating sustainable weddings that don't require you to sacrifice your wedding day experience plus a whole lot more along the way.

Hi I’m Ben Le Ralph, Founder of The Impact Positive Company, and this is the Impact PosCast. I’m fascinated with building valuable businesses that Make a Positive Impact.

This is the first episode, and so it’ll be a little different from all that follows because I wanted to (1) explain why I felt the world needed yet another podcast and (2) what to expect from this Podcast if you choose to hit subscribe. Which… I 100% think you should.

Usually, I’ll be joined each week by a special guest. Someone with a story to tell. But today, it’s just me, so I wanted to tell you 3 short stories instead, 1 about the US military, 1 about 2 lumberjacks and 1 about the importance of landing the plane.

Enjoy
