Hi there! I’m Mike Davis- creator and host of Humans of Purpose. A weekly social enterprise podcast featuring conversations with purpose-driven leaders from around Australia. Since 2017, I’ve brought you over 230 conversations with local and inspiring social purpose leaders whose work has a big social impact across a range of key sectors and spheres.
That’s over 30 audio books of free, independent, locally produced content generated over 41 full days of my life, reaching over 7,000 listeners each month. We want you to listen, connect and grow with us. This is your chance to learn, indulge your curiosity and enjoy our unique concoction of equal parts wisdom, experience and banter.
We are grateful for the love that the community has for our content. We are regular fixtures in the top 20 in the Australian management podcast category, not bad if you consider that there are now over 2 million podcasts out there! We are also top 50 in the same category in South Africa and New Zealand with a growing following in the US and UK.
We focus on hosting conversations with key influencers and decision makers shaping how we live and work from across top local not for profit, social enterprise, philanthropy, business academic leaders, journalists, authors and more.
Humans of Purpose enables us to champion the work of these incredible purpose-driven leaders, to inspire people to embark on purpose-driven careers and to build capacity, connection, wisdom and expertise within the community sector. We are proud that nearly 50% of our podcast listeners have connected with our guests, making us more than just a podcast- we are a connected community.
Why did I start it?
Thanks for asking past Mike… I created Humans of Purpose because it’s the kind of podcast I wanted to enjoy listening to myself and nothing like it existed. The podcast is designed to make conversations with our local purpose-driven leaders accessible, engaging and through this regular content to enable you to grow personally and professionally. It’s certainly changed my life for the better and the lives of many people I know!
The art of making the podcast and sharing a space and ideas with our guests has been an amazing growth journey for me. So I continue to do it every week for as long as I can. I do it to temporarily satiate my curiosity and to ensure I’m always improving my mental models and ways of thinking and being. Every podcast ends with our amazing guests offering to connect with our listeners, which enables the conversation to continue well after the podcast ends.
