737. How To Build A Business That Actually Helps People - With Carlos Saba

I sit down with Carlos to unpack a question every founder hears but few answer well: can a business genuinely do good and still be profitable?

We map the Venn diagram of purpose and profit, talk about the kinds of people who join this game, and name the bad actors who make the whole idea look naïve. Carlos explains how scalable businesses can stay grounded in meaningful value, why shareholder-first thinking often fails culture and customers, and what practical signs tell you a company is truly doing good rather than selling a story. Expect concrete examples, a critique of easy metrics, and a few rules for building a startup that lasts.
