Host Helen Lee interviews Masami Sato, Founder and CEO of B1G1 (BUY1GIVE1), a global giving initiative that is rapidly expanding into a global movement. By helping businesses embed the process of giving right into their everyday operations, B1G1 makes business giving easy, effective and meaningful by focusing funds towards 500 carefully selected high-impact giving projects.
Masami is also a best selling Amazon author with the books ‘Legacy : The Sustainable Development Goals in Action’, ‘Joy : The Gift of Acceptance, Trust and Love’, and ‘Giving Business – Creating the Maximum Impact in the Meaning-Driven World.’ A two time TEDx speaker and frequent podcast, event and media interviewee, Masami spreads her message of philanthropy and a new way of global business and is now the latest treasured guest of Transform and Thrive.
Helen and Masami discuss how she became an entrepreneur and change maker, the start of B1G1, the power of small, positive life philosophy and the changes we need to make within ourselves to step forward. This includes Masami's idea of harnessing gratitude for the positives in our business, making full use of the power of collaboration among many worldwide and turning this combined positive energy into a force for good!

KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
‘I was very touched and inspired by how like, no matter how little some people had, there was so much generosity.’ – Masami
‘Then I thought, what if instead of trying to do a big thing, one day, what if we did something small every day, from today? That was the start of the idea of B1G1.’ – Masami
‘We always see ‘big’ things in the media and everywhere. Quite often, those big things could be negative big things, like climate change or war, or refugees being displaced and all that kind of overwhelming big issues. Then, we feel powerless, sad or negative.’ – Masami
‘Actually our day to day actions, when we do it together, rather than alone, can be very powerful. And by transforming our regular habits, we could actually really transform our destiny. That’s why the power of small is important.’ – Masami
‘Because of what you’ve done it’s growing to that point where it can grow even further and really fast now, is that true?’ – Helen
‘Because humans are afflicted with this concept of not being good enough, this false idea of not being good enough. So, it holds us back, this idea of perfection.’ – Helen
‘It's very difficult to make a judgement on what’s better or what’s more important. What we can do instead is to appreciate the fact that all these things could be important. But the difference is bringing together different actions, different aspirations, different people, different experiences and ideas, is really more important in enabling us all to move forward. I think that actually makes our journey more enjoyable and meaningful.’ – Masami
'As we become braver, understand things more, respect each other and not jump onto judgment but really reflect what we can do today, and put in place certain actions, rather than feeling overwhelmed by things we cannot change. If all of these businesses start to align together with the new set of values, then we can actually change this world and create greater sustainability. But it is a critical time, whether we will have time to turn things around.' - Masami
‘If we could all come together with different intentions but also with the shared understanding that we are in it together, we are not individuals. As a whole we share this place together and if this place cannot exist anymore, none of us will be here.’ – Masami
‘Her views carry what I call the essence of Higher Intelligence, which I have talked about quite often in my various episodes, especially the solo ones.’ - Helen
‘We all have access to this Higher Intelligence and are called to increasingly align with and embody it now. So, this is a very heartening interview for me, to see it embodied and exercised in this courageous lady.’ – Helen
‘It is a simple, powerful and delightful approach for all of us to adopt, to get off our behinds and contribute positively towards creating our collective destiny and world.’ – Helen
