What if business existed for more than just profit? Andy Galpin, redemptive acquisition entrepreneur and leader at Tree and Leaf Partners, joins Jacob Crockett to explore how companies can scale with purpose while honoring people, culture, and community.
Andy shares his journey from IBM consultant to acquisition entrepreneur, why he focuses on scaling existing businesses rather than starting from scratch, and how he helps leaders transition from founder-led operations to lasting, purposeful organizations.
You’ll hear insights on:
The difference between startups and acquisition entrepreneurship
How “redemptive business” reframes success beyond financial return
Practical ways leaders can align culture, values, and systems for growth
Why investing in people creates ripple effects in families and communities
Frameworks and movements (like Conscious Capitalism and Praxis) reshaping business today
Whether you’re a founder, leader, or curious about purposeful business models, this episode will challenge how you think about value, culture, and impact.
