If any one part of Gary Teper’s business goes wrong, on any given day, somebody could find themselves sleeping rough.
In the first two of Gary’s three careers, the consequences of failure were far less apparent… and far less immediate.
As Managing Director of The Housing Network, he’s responsible for a team of 330, who house several thousand people every single night. For them, purpose is far more than words on a wall.
Pivoting from investment in the city is a huge leap from profit to purpose, and Gary’s all-in.
What we cover in today’s episode brings together the best insights from three very different careers – and why your team, your purpose, and your longevity are among your most valuable assets…
You will learn:
- How Gary Teper pivoted from law and investment management in the City to leading a purpose-driven housing organisation.
- Why temporary accommodation is a “necessary evil” — and how reframing it around support and care can change lives.
- What it really means to balance purpose with commercial discipline in a fast-growing, impact-led business.
- How treating every role “as if it were your own business” can reshape your career and leadership opportunities.
- The risks and rewards of going into business with a close friend, and how complementary skills can help scale a mission-led company.
