Using Purpose to Find Problems, Build Solutions & Achieve Outcomes with Paul Skinner, Author of the Purpose Upgrade

There’s a lot of talk about innovation, but what does it actually take to move an idea from the inside of an organization out into the world, or to bring an outside insight meaningfully inside? That’s the terrain Inside Outside Innovation navigates each week. Host Brian Ardinger, who also founded the Inside Outside Innovation Summit, steers conversations beyond theory into the raw stories and real, tactical advice from people building the future. You’ll hear from a mix of startup founders and corporate innovators-the best and brightest who are actually doing the work. Episodes dig into the practical aspects of cultivating talent, leveraging new technologies, and building the networks that make change possible. This isn’t about abstract trends; it’s about the hands-on thinking and hard-won lessons that can speed up your own progress. Whether you’re a maker, a builder, or someone tasked with driving growth within a larger company, this podcast offers a genuine community and a reliable source of actionable insight. Tune in for honest dialogues that help you understand both the internal hurdles and the external forces shaping what’s next.
