S01E04 – A Case Study for Impact with Spreetail

Spreetail is a fast-growing ecommerce organization that has placed purpose and impact at the forefront of their why. A percentage of every transaction is donated to a nonprofit or charitable organization of the customer’s choosing⁠—a business model that has allowed Spreetail to shift the trajectory of the for-profit landscape drastically. In this week’s episode, Angie and Andrew connect with Chad Kilpatrick and Andrea Wolfe to discuss the growth of Spreetail, the power of impact and the driving impetus of the organization to do more good in the world. Note: Since recording, Andrea Wolfe has parted ways with Spreetail.



Throughout the last decade, a significant movement has become more prevalent within the business world. An initiative that places a greater emphasis on people over profit; more organizations are embracing their passion for impact in an effort to leave the world in a better state from which they found it. Entities such as Ben and Jerry’s, Tom’s Shoes, Warby Parker, Patagonia, and many more are thriving with purpose at the wheel. What implications does this hold for marketplace opportunity? What internal and external challenges do these companies face when shifting their primary trajectory towards doing good in the world? Is there merit in the common stigma of organizations needing to be a nonprofit to place focus on impact and change? These and questions of the same vein are what Graham and Andrew seek to uncover. By sitting with entrepreneurs, founders, CEOs, executives, and visionaries who are walking the walk, the two have the opportunity to seek out how this movement is changing the way business is being done across the globe.
