Episode 2: Steward Ownership & Systemic Investing – The Future of Business with Lisette Schuitemaker
Lisette, an Explorer from the We Are Impact Collective – a writer, impact investor, and lifelong student of human consciousness.
Lisette’s journey began in the world of communications, running an agency producing texts and films for large corporations. But a profound shift in awareness led her to ask deeper questions about sustainability, purpose, and what it truly means to live from our deepest essence.
Since then, she has authored several books exploring human psychology, inner patterns, and life’s deeper pathways – while also investing in ventures shaping a more regenerative future. From helping launch Impact Hub Amsterdam to chairing impact investment cooperative Pymwymic, Lisette bridges inner development with systemic change.
In this conversation, we explore identity, destiny, the inner life of money, and how understanding ourselves more deeply can help shape a more conscious world
What if businesses were designed to serve purpose – not profit?
In this episode of the Explorers Podcast, Lila Behr speaks with Lisette – impact investor, author, and systems thinker – about steward ownership, conscious investing, and the inner transformation needed to reshape our world.
