Jo hails from Ōtautahi Christchurch and has had a varied career, from media to wine sales and she even trained as a chef! She also worked for a number of years for the Christchurch City Council, bringing to life events such as the World Buskers Festival. In 2013, she tapped into her entrepreneurial roots and set up her own business, social change agency Brown Bread, who specialise in partnering with social purpose organisations to revolutionise giving and fuel creativity. Throughout her career, there’s been a strong thread of creating movements around big ideas and building communities around great causes.
In this episode, Jo shares:
- How the 'wiggly-woggly' variety of roles in her early career have helped her enormously in running her own business
- How she combines purpose, profit, and passion
- How she agreed with her husband that he'd be the stay-at-home parent for their son while she runs the business
