Description

In this episode of Someone Like You, host Marco Pimentel sits down with Kristy O'Leary, the bold founder of Decade, a consultancy that's turning traditional business models on their head. From growing up in a social enterprise to challenging the idea that profit and purpose can't coexist, Kristy shares her bold vision for the future of business.

Kristy doesn't shy away from controversy. She calls out companies that fail to measure or communicate their impact and questions whether businesses that create more harm than good even deserve to exist. With a proven track record of helping over 100 companies achieve B Corp certification, she argues that innovation and imagination are key to solving the world's toughest challenges and thriving in uncertain times.

This conversation tackles the myths of greenwashing, the untapped power of impact audits, and the shocking reality that fewer than 10,000 of the world's 336 million companies follow rigorous frameworks for doing good. Our guest shares why businesses that align profit with regeneration will own the future—and why those that cling to outdated models risk being left behind.

Tune in for a provocative discussion about resilience, bold leadership, and redefining success in today's economy. It's a must-listen for anyone who believes businesses can—and should—leave the world better than they found it.
