PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ryan Buchanan, CEO of Thesis, an award-winning digital agency, introduces Cause an Affect (http://www.causeanaffectpodcast.com), a podcast that explores the human stories from entrepreneurs who affect positive change in their communities in Oregon.
The Cause an Affect podcast features candid interviews with CEOs and founders of some of Oregon's best-known brands, including Dutch Bros., Tillamook, barre3, and Salt & Straw. The podcast is aimed at helping fellow entrepreneurs and business community members get an inside look at what drives the leaders of some of the region's most admired and successful businesses. Host Ryan Buchanan dives deep with his guests into the formative experiences that helped shape who they are today and the stories of their pathways to leadership. A common thread shared by the guests on Cause an Affect is their shared values around the importance of equity, taking action and leveraging their roles to make an impact.
"The community of entrepreneurs and creative minds in the Pacific Northwest is unlike any other and this podcast is a way of bringing them together," says Buchanan. "By lifting the layers and learning how their lives and values were shaped, we hope to inspire other leaders and make a positive, collective impact in our communities."
The most recent episode features Tyrone Poole, founder of OneApp. Poole shares stories about going from the top of his firefighter class to homeless a year later to now a successful software entrepreneur, working to make a dent in Portland's homeless crisis. Other recent guests include Patrick Criteser, CEO of Tillamook, who talks with Buchanan about privilege, race, and gender, and Monica Enand, founder of Zapproved, who talks about how growing up in an Indian-American family influenced her journey.
