Outside of Tripple.

In this episode #133 w Bec Milgrom learn about:

Her sunrise in Melbourne, Australia being the middle child with two siblings and influences of her entrepreneurial parents.

Bec talks about being the teachers pet in high school, the fullness of her imagination and aspirations after she graduated. I really enjoyed the human-ness Bec shows in this conversation about her journey of self exploration by traveling the world and working in the craft beer industry post university and for many years which led to the US and the realisation that driving change using capital is her calling which led to co-founding Tripple with her two brothers.

We dive deep into Thoughtful vs thoughtless investing, Storytelling to change people’s world views on impact, climate and social change, the reality of Policy, Grant making and their involvement in The Australian election in 2021 through climate 200 driving historic grassroots and community change, and we unpack the structure, operations and team at Tripple.
