Empowering Partnerships for Economic Impact

In this episode of The Future of Teamwork, Dane Groeneveld chats with Buddy Teaster, CEO of Soles4Souls, about how purpose-driven leadership and curiosity fuel strong teams and resilient organizations. Dane and Buddy discuss  Buddy’s new book, From Tailspin to Tailwind, which distills lessons learned from turning around Soles4Souls and leading it toward a bold goal of creating $1 billion in economic impact by 2030. The conversation looks at the ripple effect of partnerships, from global brands donating shoes to local entrepreneurs in Honduras, Haiti, and beyond who create jobs, opportunity, and dignity in their communities.
