Episode 3: Investing in Latin American Social Enterprises

jeudi 1 mai 2025 • Durée 43:04

Presented by UI Charitable - In this episode, Todd Manwaring sits down with Ted Levinson, founder of Beneficial Returns, and Maria Luisa Chavez, Managing Director for Latin America, to discuss how social entrepreneurs are solving some of the world’s most urgent challenges—particularly in Latin America. Beneficial Returns provides long-term, affordable loans to mission-driven businesses that reduce poverty and protect the environment.

Ted and Maria Luisa explain why their model prioritizes entrepreneurs, indigenous people, and why debt—rather than equity—can be the best tool to help these social businesses grow. They also share how philanthropic capital, especially from donor-advised funds and foundations, can be mobilized to support impact-first investing in ways that traditional finance can’t.

Episode 5: Rethinking Poverty with Martin Burt

mardi 1 juillet 2025 • Durée 38:43

Presented by Fierce Philanthropy - What if poverty isn’t primarily about income—but about dignity, mindset, and self-agency? What if the people that should be solving poverty are poor people themselves, not governments or institutions?

In this episode of the Impact Innovations Podcast, we speak with renowned social entrepreneur Dr. Martín Burt, author of Who Owns Poverty, founder and CEO of Fundación Paraguaya, and former Mayor of Asunción, Paraguay.

Martín shares the origin story and impact of the Poverty Stoplight, a groundbreaking tool that helps families self-diagnose and overcome multidimensional poverty. He explains why starting with people’s strengths, not deficits, is the key—and how every family, no matter where they live, can define and achieve their own version of a poverty-free life.

Episode 6: Pet Care that Unleashes Human Potential with Pawsperity

vendredi 1 août 2025 • Durée 41:18

Presented by Fierce Philanthropy - What if breaking the cycle of poverty required more than just job training—but also emotional healing, self-worth, and the belief that transformation is possible? What if all of this was possible through the help of dogs?

In this episode of the Impact Innovations Podcast, we sit down with Natasha Herdman, CEO of Pawsperity, a nonprofit helping individuals impacted by poverty, addiction, and incarceration build new futures—starting with a pair of grooming shears and a second chance.

Natasha shares how a phone call from her mom—a dog groomer in Iowa—sparked the idea for Pawsperity. What began as a job training initiative has grown into a powerful, trauma-informed model that combines hands-on grooming education, mental health support, and long-term case management. The result? Graduates go from making $8,500 a year to earning $47,000+, with 100% job placement within two months.

Episode 7: From Charity to Change with Aaron Miller and Todd Manwaring

mardi 9 septembre 2025 • Durée 38:42

Presented by Fierce Philanthropy - What if your donation didn’t just feel good—but actually did good? In this eye-opening episode, Aaron Miller (professor at BYU’s Romney Institute and host of the "How to Help" podcast) joins Todd Manwaring to explore one of the biggest mistakes generous people make: assuming that giving alone is enough.

They unpack the all-too-common “warm glow” trap and explain why outcomes—not intentions—should guide our giving. Together, they share practical ways donors can move from guesswork to strategic generosity, with tips on how to find and support organizations that create measurable, lasting change in people’s lives.

You’ll also learn:

Why fewer than 3% of donors vet organizations for effectiveness—and how you can be one of the few who does
How philanthropy is like investing (and why most of us need an “impact advisor”)
A powerful real-world example of a nonprofit that adjusted its model after learning it wasn’t working
Where to find more vetted, high-impact organizations

Episode 9: The Future of Mental Health in Kenya with Shamiri

mardi 2 décembre 2025 • Durée 44:30

Presented by Fierce Philanthropy — What if the future of mental health didn’t depend on more doctors—but on empowering everyday people to care for each other?

In this episode, Tom Osborn, founder and CEO of Shamiri, joins host Todd Manwaring to share how his organization is transforming mental health care in Kenya and across Africa. With an innovative model that trains near-peer counselors to deliver school-based, evidence-backed group sessions, Shamiri is reaching hundreds of thousands of students for just $7 each per year.

Instead of relying on expensive or hard to access specialists, Shamiri is building a scalable, triaged system—backed by RCTs and real-time data—that works in low-resource settings, removes stigma, and delivers results.

You’ll also learn:

How Shamiri meets youth where they are—starting in schools, not clinics
Why peer-led mental health sessions outperform traditional models in scalability and access
How rigorous research and rapid iteration power Shamiri’s approach to delivering real change
What it means to build infrastructure for lasting impact—and why governments are key to scaling

Episode 8: Tackling Malnutrition from Seed to Solution with Semilla Nueva

jeudi 16 octobre 2025 • Durée 44:23

Presented by Fierce Philanthropy — What if solving malnutrition didn’t require changing people’s diets—but simply improving what they’re already eating?

In this episode, Curt Bowen, Executive Director of Semilla Nueva, joins Todd Manwaring to share how his nonprofit is tackling one of the world’s most stubborn and invisible challenges: chronic malnutrition. But instead of focusing on behavior change—often the hardest part of social interventions—Semilla Nueva starts with a food that millions already eat every day: corn.

Through a natural process called biofortification, they’ve created a seed that’s cheaper, tastes better, and is packed with the nutrients children need to thrive—without asking farmers or families to change their habits.

You’ll also learn:

Why malnutrition is a root cause of generational poverty—and how it limits children’s brain development and future earning potential
How Semilla Nueva scales impact by aligning with incentives farmers already care about (like yield and income)
What it really takes to shift from good intentions to proven impact, and why RCTs (Randomized Controlled Trials) matter
