In this episode, Becky is joined by James Reed, Chairman and CEO of Reed, one of the UK’s most recognisable and successful family-owned businesses. James is also the author of Karma Capitalism, a bold vision for a more ethical and purpose-driven approach to business.
Becky and James explore what Karma Capitalism looks like in practice and whether responsible, values-led business models can truly thrive amid today’s economic uncertainty, growing inequality, and rapid technological change.
How philanthropy-owned companies, often referred to as “Philcos”, are redefining corporate ownership, challenging traditional shareholder models, and reshaping how businesses behave, grow, and succeed over the long term.
Why James believes some ESG frameworks fall short of delivering real impact, and what meaningful execution, accountability, and ethical leadership actually look like in modern organisations.
As AI reshapes the world of work, James shares his perspective on the future of employment and the critical role that government policy, public funding, and education will play in supporting workers and businesses alike.
This episode dives deep into ethical capitalism, corporate responsibility, sustainable business models, and AI’s impact on employment, offering practical insight for founders, CEOs, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of business in the UK and beyond.

This year, many businesses are finding it tougher than ever. So wouldn’t it be easier to put purpose and sustainability on the back burner? At least until it feels like there’s less of a trade off with profit…
What if I told you that despite the current economic climate, some of the world’s leading organisations are taking an entirely different approach, prioritising purpose as a fundamental driver of organisational performance? And they are thriving.
I’m Becky Willan, CEO of Given, back with a 3rd season of Purposing, the podcast that lifts the lid on how to run a truly purpose-driven business.
With more leaders worried about ESG backlash, and purpose being seen as a distraction from commercial priorities, we’re bringing you brilliant guests who are committed to doing purpose properly - and are reaping the rewards.
They’re leaders in organisations like Mars, Kimberly Clark, Centrica and many more. Together we demystify this often misunderstood topic, as they share their successes, learnings and actionable advice to help you to put purpose at the heart of your business.
Do you want to learn how to build a purpose-driven business from Given, the consultancy that’s helped some of the world's largest organisations become purposeful? Download the Insiders’ Guide to Purpose HERE.
