In this episode, our speakers share some of the mistakes and failures that they’ve faced along their journey and highlight the possible pitfalls social entrepreneurs face when operating their businesses for good.

Speakers:
Bryan Long, CEO of Testing Ground and raiSE Fellow

Is running a business all about profit? That may have been true in the past, but companies today have become more integrated with their communities. As the world grows more connected, a global shift in mindsets takes hold from a commitment to only shareholders to a focus on all stakeholders.

In this podcast, we’ll shine a light on how businesses can do good authentically and strategically, so that doing good becomes a value creator instead of a cost center. In each episode, three thought leaders will share their insights on the topic of doing good and social entrepreneurship.
