Community & Purpose – A Series 9 Roundup 

“Community for me has always been – What is our purpose? Why do we exist? What’s it all for? Why does it even matter?”

There are two popular topics that come up time and time again when we interview our 40 Minute Mentors and when we speak to JBM clients and candidates. These topics are: Building communities and sticking to your purpose. 

In this week’s episode, we’ve rounded up some of the best advice from our most recent Series, including: 

➡️ Vanity metrics vs Impact –  Nikki Wicks, CEO of The Body Coach  [00:41] 

➡️ Meaningful exchanges over numbers – Abadesi Osunsade, Founder of Hustle Crew [03:28] 

➡️ Staying true to yourself throughout the journey – Simmy Dhillon, Founder of Simmer  [05:23]
