What we talk about

Purpose journeys. Honestly told.

Most small businesses are doing more good than they can articulate. The Purpose Pinwheel Podcast investigates that good and shows what happens when purpose stops being a values statement on the wall and starts driving real commercial results.

Your story makes a difference. We built this show to help you tell it.

The Purpose Pinwheel is a framework built around six spokes and one centre. When all six are aligned, purpose stops being a cost and starts being a growth driver. The ultimate destination is Restoration: a business that gives back more than it takes.

How the show works

Two episode formats. One clear purpose.

The Case Study

A real founder. An honest investigation.

We sit down with a small business owner and investigate how purpose is working in their business. Which spokes are spinning? Which are stuck? What would they do differently?

35-45 minutes weekly
  • Relaxed, unscripted conversation
  • Focus on 1-2 Pinwheel spokes
  • Honest - not a polished success story
  • Ends with the guest's Pinwheel Moment
The Deep Dive

One spoke. Examined in full.

Becks and Erica take one spoke of the Pinwheel and go deep - with a guest expert or solo. Practical, framework-led, ending with something you can act on this week.

20-30 minutes monthly
  • One spoke, examined properly
  • Practical tools and frameworks
  • Sometimes solo, sometimes with an expert
  • Ends with three things to do this week
Your hosts

Two perspectives. One pinwheel.
