This time, Joshua Haynes, a Founder + Managing Partner at Masawa, sat down with Kathy Varol to chat about Masawa, venture capital, organizational health, mental wellness and more on her Purpose and Profit podcast.

Joshua founded Masawa to address mental illness, a silent epidemic that is the leading cause of disability worldwide and costs, in the EU alone, €600 billion a year. He believes that only after society is more mentally well, people are able to grow, act courageously and engagein holistic thinking, which empowers them to tackle complex large-scale problems like climate change as well as social and economic injustice.

What makes Masawa unique?

What are the gaps in the traditional investment model that can significantly affect your ROI?

What’s the secret to creating systemic change?

What’s next for venture capital?

Joshua and Kathy discuss all this and more. It’s a must-listen for everyone working in the investment world, seeking to create thriving organizations, or aiming to improve global mental wellness.

Tune in on the Purpose and Profit website!
