#47 Doing Good, While Doing Good Business | Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob. June 20th, 2025.

Entrepreneurial Thinkers with Rob Ryan

In this powerful episode of Stoppage Time with Uncle Rob, we take a moment to reflect on what truly matters—in life, in business, and in our shared humanity.

At a time when uncertainty and division feel louder than ever, I’ve found hope and clarity through conversations with some of the most empathetic and visionary entrepreneurial thinkers in our community. This week’s episode brings together three deeply personal, thought-provoking dialogues that reaffirm core values I hold close: doing good while doing business, leading with empathy, and honoring the immigrant experience as essential to progress.

We sit down with Bismarck Lepe, founder of MiSalud Health, to discuss how his mission-driven company is tackling healthcare inequality head-on. We hear from Councilperson Nithya Raman, who reminds us that effective leadership starts by meeting people where they are, with open minds and hearts. And in a moving tribute, I revisit a past conversation with Ali Jamal, a remarkable investor and human being, whose recent passing has left a void—but also a lasting lesson about purpose, impact, and the boundless power of compassion.

These stories—past and present—are a reminder that the best kind of leadership doesn’t come from power or profit, but from love, service, and a belief in building a better world together.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a community leader, or just someone searching for hope right now—this episode is for you.

🌍 The most powerful ideas are borderless.

❤️ And the best kind of success is shared.

Watch now. Be moved. Be inspired. Be reminded.
