Humans of Purpose 400 Andrew Mellody: How to Make Sustainable, Lasting Impact
My guest this week is Andrew Mellody - CEO of Humble Brag, Co-Founder & Managing Director of Co-Ground, Anti-Poverty Award Winner, and a passionate social entrepreneur dedicated to creating meaningful impact.
Since launching his ventures, Andrew has built organisations that combine purpose, strategy, and social impact with real-world results. Humble Brag donates 50% of its profits to fund Indigenous youth programs and international aid, while Co-Ground supports community-led development projects in the Northern Territory, Vanuatu, and the Philippines - improving access to education, employment, health, and sanitation.
As a leader, Andrew focuses on scaling initiatives while staying true to their mission, values, and community-driven approach. Beyond his entrepreneurial work, he is a thoughtful strategist and storyteller, passionate about showing how business can be both impactful and purpose-led.
In this episode, we explore Andrew’s journey as a social entrepreneur, the lessons he’s learned about leadership and impact, and how he balances the challenges and excitement of building enterprises that make a real difference in the world.
