Impacting a generation through longevity and resilience - Wayne Wright, Maidstone Warriors

A scientist with a corporate background, Dr. Wayne Wright is the Chairman of Maidstone Warriors Basketball Club - and an interviewee with a passion to help people live with meaning and purpose.

In this episode Wayne discusses:

- avoiding the 'boom and bust' two-year cycles which trap many social enterprises.
- how by focusing on one human being means you can support many.
- why businesses should play a part in shaping society.
- the importance of making a profit and how Maidstone Warriors uses surpluses from some business activities to support impacts.
- what basketball for all means in terms of participation, and why the entry point to basketball with Maidstone Warriors is not-competitive.
- a heart-warming story of the team's impact.
- succession planning, building resilience and organisational capacity.
- how to align your passion, skills and purpose.
