In this episode, Jack sits down in Panama City with a Forbes 30 Under 30 social impact founder who leads ISTMO, a movement that turns recycled plastic and community action into a lifestyle brand and platform. The conversation touches on the creative agency, the recycling operation, the Impact Festival, and an app that rewards responsible actions. They dive deep into Panama’s early stage path to find funding, why bootstrapping, and how to structure capital without losing the mission. Brand clarity is a recurring theme, as it determines whether you’re positioning yourself as a marketing partner, an operator, or a tech platform, so that investors and partners know what they’re backing.
