Stephen Clark, founder and CEO of RTG Group, shares the blunt truth about why most efforts to end hunger and homelessness fail—and what it takes to actually move the needle. If you’re ready to rethink the intersection of business, social impact, and referrals, this episode delivers the blueprint—minus the empty promises.

• Why “positive disruption” beats the tired move-fast-and-break-things approach when tackling social problems
• The hard business lessons from professional hockey and running global ad campaigns (and why discipline always wins)
• How RTG Group flips the donation model on its head—using corporate marketing budgets to solve hunger and homelessness
• Why real transparency in funding matters, and what most nonprofits don’t want you to ask
• Building a model where referrals are inevitable, not a desperate afterthought—plus why most founders approach this all wrong
