In this episode of The Plucky Bamboo Podcast, I sit down with Joe Phoenix, founder and CEO of Givinga — a fintech company powering corporate giving strategies from the inside out.
We talk about the stuff most leaders don’t admit publicly:
Why ESG can’t be a box-ticking exercise anymore
How to delegate without dropping the ball
What really builds trust at scale (hint: it’s not just messaging)
And why growing a purpose-led business always takes 5x longer than you expect
If you’re a sustainability founder stuck between vision and execution, this episode is packed with grounded insight, strategic advice, and hard-earned lessons on building something that lasts.
