Most social impact brands make a far bigger difference than their revenue reflects.

Their impact is powerful — but their message isn’t converting, their growth systems are underdeveloped, and their mission ends up under-resourced.

In this episode, Adina breaks down why mission-driven founders, social impact brands, and B Corps often struggle to translate impact into revenue growth — and how to close that gap without losing integrity.

Drawing from over 20 years in nonprofit advocacy and her own experience running a social impact company, Adina shares what she’s learned about sustainable growth, revenue as oxygen, and how to balance the triple bottom line: People, Planet, Profit.

• Why most social impact founders deprioritize sales — and how it limits their mission.

• How to build a growth strategy that honors your values and generates sustainable revenue.

• Why “sales” isn’t a dirty word — it’s the structure that gives your mission stability.

• The three focus areas that allow your income to finally match your impact in 2026:
  1️⃣ Messaging that converts.
  2️⃣ Optimized, sustainable sales systems.
  3️⃣ Strategy that honors both mission and money.

This is the call to step from mission-driven dreamer into financially empowered change-maker — the grounded leader who can sustain expansion.

Your mission deserves more than survival.
Growth isn’t greed — it’s leadership.
It’s how the world gets to experience the full power of your purpose.

Financial literacy is not a passive activity. It’s a strategic tool for liberation.

That's because finances aren't just about budgeting or credit scores - it's a revolutionary act of self and collective liberation.

In this episode, Adina breaks down how money knowledge becomes a weapon when paired with intention and action - especially for immigrants navigating oppressive systems.

You’ll learn why financial education is one of the most concrete, powerful ways immigrants and allies can reclaim power, build wealth, and change what's possible - not just for themselves, but for their families, communities, and generations to come.

Whether you're the first in your family to invest or simply trying to understand where to begin, this episode is your call to rise.

In This Episode:

• Why financial systems were never built for immigrants - and how to change that

• How to use financial literacy to collapse survival mode and build wealth from a place of power

• Why learning money is like learning a new language - one that lets you decode and redistribute power

• The ripple effect: how financial empowerment creates collective momentum

• How to design your Liberation Plan

Listen in as we talk tech, AI, and data as a tool in the fight for immigrant rights.

In this episode, I’m joined by Bartlomiej Skorupa, Co-Founder & COO of Mobile Pathways, a tech nonprofit using AI and mobile data tools to support immigrants navigating the U.S. court system.

Bartlomiej’s story - from fleeing communism in Poland, to burning out in corporate America, to almost losing his vision in Madagascar, and eventually building a mission-led tech platform - is proof that purpose and impact are not linear. They're shaped through life experience and our values.

Together, we unpack:

• 📲 How Mobile Pathways uses AI to cut through time poverty to advance access to immigration legal services

• 🧠 The power of tech to sustain advocacy and scale social justice work - especially in the immigration system

• 🛠️ How changemakers can use tech ethically to support marginalized communities while minimizing harm

Whether you’re an immigrant, advocate, or social entrepreneur, this episode offers a grounded look at how innovation can drive structural change - without losing sight of humanity.

As Bartlomiej shares: “You can’t control chaos… but you can outlast it if you figure out the purpose in the moment.”

As changemakers, we can’t always control what’s happening - but we can choose how we respond.

And we can leverage technology - not as a threat, but as a tool for good.

That’s how we build sustainable change.
