The difference we can make in the world when we come together is far greater than any individual or company could possibly make on their own.

Our guests are Payal Dalal and Meredith Jones. Payal is the Executive Vice President, Global Programs for the Center for Inclusive Growth at Mastercard.

Meredith is a Managing Director, Climate Change and Sustainability Services (CCaSS), Ernst & Young LLP. She’s also the author of Women of The Street: Why Female Money Managers Generate Higher Returns (And How You Can Too).

These two inspiring women, as well as their employers have come together to back social impact projects around the world through the Center for Inclusive Growth. The center has helped women in developing countries manage their own money, they've shared their expertise with small businesses, and they're studying how new technology (like AI) can be implemented equitably.

On the show, they’ll give us advice about doing good and give us their blueprint for impactful partnerships.

The recipe for social impact success includes, concern for people and the planet, problem solving, a specific motivation, and mentorship. Our guests today, Arturo Quiroz and Stephanie Benedetto, have every ingredient in this recipe and more.

Arturo is the founder of Wareclouds, a digital platform that makes use of a network of individual homes acting as warehouses and fulfillment centers. The decentralized locations allow products to be shipped faster and more efficiently and it puts money into the Chilean communities, where these homes are located.

Stephanie Benedetto is the CEO of Aloquia, a tech company, helping businesses manage their excess inventory through recycling, reselling or repurposing. Stephanie's motivation is seeing a cleaner planet for her children.

So how can big companies help social impact entrepreneurs scale their operations and make a difference in the world? Arturo and Stephanie are the perfect example! They met at the 100+ Accelerator Program, where they learned to build new sustainability models for their businesses. The accelerator delivers six months of remote programming and training, mentor networks and up to 100,000 US dollars toward pilot execution. Some of the biggest consumer goods companies participate, and EY teams also guide and prepare the startups for “Demo Days.”

What if I told you mushrooms could be used to build roads?

In this episode, we’ll introduce you to the people who are taking this idea from just a fantasy for video games and movies to a real technology that’s reducing pollutants and making construction more sustainable.

Line Kloster Pedersen is the founder of Visibuilt. The idea for mushroom roads first struck her while she was on a hike. Then Line had to figure out how to create her fungi binder and solve many of the hurdles of being a small startup company.

Luckily she found a life science incubator called the BioInnovation Institute and its Director of Planetary Health, Christian Brix Tillegreen. The institute helps biotech startups, like Visibuilt, solve their hurdles by providing research centers and funding programs.
