Pitch Purpose with Tony Winslow: Recent Episodes
Tony Winslow
In a world wrecked by human trafficking, poverty, racial injustice, etc., marketers and business leaders have a responsibility to use their power to change beliefs for the good of others. Too often, leaders think of purpose as an afterthought or addendum to their mission statement. We limit ourselves to who we can serve. We settle. Let’s dream of a new future, a future where founders relentlessly seek to solve the needs of their ideal customer, employees, and vulnerable people in need. Where villains aren’t just customer problems but also global and cultural issues. Where we prioritize the underserved and create profitability. Let’s #pitchpurpose together. Each episode, I invite a business leader to share their process for inspiring change and operationalizing their purpose.

In this podcast episode of Pitch Purpose, I welcome Sean Keller, an entrepreneur, filmmaker, and business coach.
Through his company, Wilder Story, Sean creates powerful videos and products that empower individuals and organizations to develop their unique voice and share it with the world. But what makes Sean truly special is his personal journey of resilience and triumph in the face of autoimmune disease.
Sean's own story of pain motivates him to create stories that inspire hope in others, and he's been doing it since he started his first business at 17, creating video courses for a top theologian.
Listen as we discuss faith, entrepreneurship, and developing healthy habits through balanced discipline.
Most business leaders want their values reflected in their business and to communicate a brand purpose.
