“The only way to help people get out of poverty is to help them make money.”

The episode unpacks how long-term poverty alleviation must go beyond charity and shift toward systems that generate wealth locally. Using the lens of real estate development, the conversation reveals that when people are empowered with knowledge, infrastructure, and access, they gain both dignity and sustainability. The key lies in designing environments where communities can thrive economically, socially, and ecologically—not as recipients of aid, but as creators of value.

He explains how Impact Growth Capital is rethinking affordable housing by integrating solar-powered infrastructure, on-site education, childcare, and an AI platform to guide residents from $0 to $50K income in two years. He critiques the inefficiencies of top-down aid and lays out how economic incentives can drive transformative regeneration.

Sam Sells is the CEO of Impact Growth Capital and the host of The Disruptive Capitalist. A U.S. military veteran, he spent over a decade in global health and now builds purpose-driven communities that uplift the poor while delivering returns for investors.

“What do you want to leave behind? What legacy do you want to leave people with?”

What if the homes and buildings we live in could help fight climate change? In a world rapidly shifting due to environmental changes, how can architecture not just adapt but actively contribute to a regenerative future? What if we could redesign our cities to combat climate change, improve urban living, and provide long-term financial benefits—all at once? Could the solution be as simple as rethinking our buildings and parking spaces?

As our world rapidly evolves, cities are at the heart of that change. Urban planning is no longer just about providing homes and infrastructure—it's about shaping environments that tackle climate change, promote sustainability, and create thriving communities. But how do we bring innovative ideas to life in a world resistant to change?

Jeremy McLeod is the founder and director of Breathe Architecture in Australia, a company dedicated to creating high-quality, sustainable design solutions. He's also the co-founder of Nightingale Housing, a not-for-profit organization committed to providing affordable, sustainable housing in Melbourne. Jeremy is at the forefront of using architecture as a tool to protect both people and the planet.

Doing good for the planet and doing good in business don’t have to be mutually exclusive. By aligning your mission with sustainable practices, not only can you build a successful brand, but you can also create lasting impact for future generations.
