Love this podcast!!
As a first time entrepreneur I have loved learning from this podcast and the guests Cory brings on. The content is always different, but always comes back to the same principal - that business can be a force for good. I look forward to every new episodes and I highly suggest this podcast for anyone, especially those pursuing social entrepreneurship!

Two things set this podcast apart. First, Cory just seems like a super chill + humble dude. I love the casual + relaxed feeling of these episodes. Second, he never fails to bring on guests to inspire new ideas and get you excited to take action. A must-listen for people actively working to make the world a better place.

A Must Listen for Entrepreneurial Changemakers!
I just listened to the most recent episode of Grow Ensemble “5 MUST Read Books for the Social Entrepreneurial Changemaker” and I’m totally hooked! This is obviously a podcast that looks at change making from both the head and the heart. I subscribed to the podcast and can’t wait to listen make my way through past episodes and future episodes. And after listening to this episode, I have a whole new “Must Read” list. This will be a definite companion on my own “subversive” social entrepreneurship journey. Thank you!

Awesome Podcast!
Kind of like “How I Built This” but for entrepreneurs that are more focused in ways to give back! I love it. Definitely worth a listen!

A promising drop in the wellspring of audio content
I recently listened to Grow Ensemble’s first podcast. This isn’t just a clone of “How I Built It”. Cory Ames does a great job of diving into the tactical (e.g. asking what tools his brother uses to run Harkla), while shifting back to the higher level (e.g. the reasoning behind why Harkla donates a share of their revenue). And, though, I may choose to build a business differently, I found myself interested in how Harkla did it, and their motivations. I’ll continue to listen to this, and it should improve further as Cory becomes more comfortable interviewing his guests and drawing insights from them.

A real take on social enterprises -- absolutely refreshing
A lot of current podcasts on entrepreneurship focus on the more "sexy" aspects of how someone built a 100M+ business. After listening to Cory's Grow Ensemble, it's clear he wants to explore the 1000s of other entrepreneurs that are making a difference in this world. And honestly that's refreshing. Not everything about entrepreneurship is glamourous, there's a lot of gritty stuff that happens in the day-to-day. And it's nice to have a podcast like Grow Ensemble to learn more about the companies that are getting started with a mission to improve the world in mind!

Interesting & informative podcast!
Really interesting podcast. An intriguing conversation between Cory and Casey. Truly inspiring to hear how this business has taken off and continues to evolve. The concept of a new company giving back is admirable to say the least. I have no doubt that this business attitude combined with the solid business plan will be rewarded as this company moves forward.

So encouraging!
Hearing from business owners who are working to promote social change is so refreshing and encouraging. They provide valuable knowledge on how one can be successful and still find a way to give back to the community. This podcast is for all types of listeners. It will both inspire and teach you. I am excited for more episodes and to learn about more socially conscious businesses!

Cory is a great interviewer
One thing that makes Cory's podcast so great is that he chooses the right questions to ask. Most business podcasts all asks the same things but Cory has unique and interesting questions while prioritizing social impact - which is very needed in today's world :)

Refreshing to Hear!
Love the concept for this podcast. It’s refreshing to hear about businesses who are looking to do more than simply profit off their customers. This podcast has the potential to be a great source of inspiration for other business owners. Specifically, I think it will help business owners to think about how they can leverage their current business model to positively impact the world socially and environmentally. Keep up the great work!

Informative & Fun
I really liked how I was able to understand more of the ins and outs of what you are doing with your business, as well as Casey’s business with Harkla. The way you explain what you’re doing with your business is very clear, fun, and informative.

Great Conversations With Business Minds Looking To Make a Difference
This podcast provides a refreshing take into the minds of individuals looking to address the issues of today’s society. Today’s podcasts only look at corporate America or technology startups. This podcast does a great job of looking into the minds of individuals that have the primary goal of helping the world become a better place. Cory does a great job in his interviews and seems to get these people talking about their passions, goals, and missions! He is a great podcast host and gets his interviewees to open up about what makes them tick. Most importantly, it seems like both Cory and the guests enjoy the company of each other which is infectious and really drives home a “feel good vibe!” I can’t wait to hear more from Cory and the guests he brings on the pod!

Business Podcast w/Social Impact
I used to listen to business podcasts a lot. But eventually you've heard it all... This is one perspective I haven't heard. Most are focused on numbers and revenue and bottom line. Here, Cory discusses social impact first then then revenue later. If you want to make a local, national or global difference with your business, this is the podcast for you!

Thoughtful discussion with solid guests
I think the idea for this show is unique - interviewing entrepreneurs who bake social benefit into their business. The line up of guests so far has been great. It's different from other biz podcasts because the guests think a lot about how their business it fits into the world. Looking forward to listening to future shows!
