In this episode of Money Secrets, Fi challenges purpose-led founders to stop using "impact" as a vague buzzword and start defining, measuring, and reporting the change they're trying to create.

After nearly 16 years in business, Fi shares Peach Business' 2026 FY Impact Report and reflects on the numbers behind her mission to get more money into the hands of good business owners. From investing in Australian small businesses and producing Ripple Festival, to educating thousands of founders through podcasts, newsletters, masterclasses, and mentoring, she demonstrates that impact looks different for every business, and that it's worth measuring.

Rather than comparing yourself to charities or social enterprises, this episode encourages you to decide what matters most in your own business, create meaningful metrics around it, and regularly review whether you're making the difference you set out to make.

If you've ever described your business as purpose-led, or you're striving to build a business that creates positive change, this episode will help you become more intentional about defining, measuring, and growing your impact.

🎧 Tune in to discover why measuring your impact is just as important as measuring your revenue.
