about the podcast
Through weekly interviews I dive deep into the minds of social entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and change makers to uncover how and why they do what they do, and to dig out advice for you to do the same.
We explore the successes and failures of leaders who are solving critical social, cultural, and environmental problems through social enterprises and charity work.
