My guest this week is Anthony Chesler - CEO of Thread Together, and a leader committed to creating real-world impact through purpose-driven innovation.

Anthony works to ensure that people in crisis are met with care, dignity, and choice, and that the systems designed to support them truly respond to human need.

In this episode of Humans of Purpose, we explore Anthony’s journey as a social entrepreneur, how he balances scaling impact with staying human-centred, and the lessons he’s learned about leadership, empathy, and creating solutions that restore both hope and dignity.

Tune in to hear Anthony share the story behind Thread Together, the powerful work being done across Australia, and his reflections on what it takes to drive meaningful change in communities - even when the challenges are big.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
