What does Formula 1 have to teach the charity sector about impact? Quite a lot, as it turns out.

In this episode of the Charity Changemakers Podcast, Adam is joined by Rushab Shah, founder and CEO of OneHive, a tech for good organisation helping youth charities streamline their admin and scale their impact. Rushab's route to the sector is anything but conventional. After studying mechanical engineering at Warwick, he worked in the F1 supply chain, drove test cars around tracks for a living, and led digital strategy for a business decarbonising maritime transport across the Shetland Islands.

Running a youth club for disabled young people throughout university kept the mission close. When the engineering career reached its ceiling, he looked at the charity sector with an engineer's eye and spotted something striking: charities spend enormous time delivering programmes and then enormous time analysing what happened. By which point, it's too late to change anything.

In Formula One, you know what the lap time will be by the end of the first corner. What if youth charities could work the same way? That question became OneHive, now supporting around 30,000 young people across 18 youth-focused organisations, with a county council investing to roll the platform across 10 charities simultaneously. Adam and Rushab explore:

• Why charities are measuring impact too late, and what real-time data actually changes on the ground
• How a shared interest in Thomas Tank Engine taught Rushab more about inclusion than any disability training
• The "say yes to everything" approach that built a career in five years and a startup from scratch
• Why small and medium charities are currently beating large ones at adopting tech
• The tension between failing fast and working with vulnerable young people
• The honest lesson on when to pitch and when to shut up and listen
