How Maya Enista Smith is making the world a kinder braver place

Making the world a kinder braver place is the professional and life goal of this week’s guest, Maya Smith. Bobby and Afdhel speak to Maya, the executive director of Lady Gaga's Born This Way foundation, about how we can maximise our chances to do good in both business and life, as well as the importance of elevating youth voices.

We believe that business and culture can be forces of good. But creators and entrepreneurs alike are still struggling to find the right model that allows them to impact real social change. In this series, Bobby Jones and Afdhel Aziz sit down with an extraordinary lineup of luminaries from the worlds of fashion, film, art, music and activism, who all believe in using business and culture as forces for good.

In each episode, you'll learn how bold creative actions can change the world for the better through interviews with the trailblazers who are doing it every day. Recorded in the inviting Soho House in 2018, this podcast series delves into many unique stories and the one thing they all have in common – the desire and the courage to transform our world for the better.

About the Podcast

Good Is The New Cool
The Field Recordings
Purpose is the buzzword of the moment, with socially conscious consumers, activist employees, and impact investors fueling the cultural revolution around business as a force for good.

But what is Purpose? How do companies and brands discover and articulate it? How can older companies reverse-engineer it into their DNA in an authentic and meaningful way?

In their new podcast series, Good Is The New Cool: The Field Recordings, Bobby Jones and Afdhel Aziz meet the men and women on the purpose revolution’s front lines, taking you inside visionary companies like Patagonia, TOMS, and Participant Films, as well as global giants like Procter and Gamble, Mattel, and Activision, all in the hopes of inspiring you to harness the power of purpose for yourself.
