Life on Purpose
Your audience has ideas for businesses that could do good. Most assume they need more money, experience or connections before they start. What if they didn’t?
Bridget co-founded LSTN by emptying her $5k 401k, with no idea how headphones were made. Two weeks later she was on a plane to China. A decade later, the company had sold millions of products, partnered with Google, Delta Air Lines, Amazon and Whole Foods, and helped more than 60,000 people hear for the first time.
In this honest, funny and moving keynote, Bridget shares what it actually takes to build a purpose-led company. She covers the wins, the near-misses, the cardboard-box desk, and the email years later that showed her how far one decision can ripple.
For organizations, the message is practical. Purpose isn’t a marketing line. It’s a strategy that attracts customers, partners and talent who want to be part of something that matters.
- Know what matters. Define the impact you want your work to have, even if you’re starting from zero.
- Start small. Learn how a scrappy first version beats a perfect plan that never launches.
- Don’t keep it a secret. Use purpose and authenticity to open doors with global brands and partners.
- Move through the fear. Hear the stories founders rarely tell, and how to keep going when it gets hard.
- Create the ripple. See how giving back can drive growth, loyalty and a life you’re proud of.
