The Product Boss with Jacqueline Snyder 436. Social Entrepreneurship: How You Can Do Good & Still Live Your Dream Life with Rasheda Weaver
Can a business do social good while still making money? It’s absolutely possible — and we’re gonna show you how!
Rasheda Weaver is a professor of entrepreneurship and innovation, having taught over 1000 students globally, and the founder and CEO of Weaver’s Social Enterprise Directory, which celebrates entrepreneurs and organizations making a social impact through their businesses. She has been studying the social impact of businesses and how they can magnify their impact by making more money.
We’re going to dive into where you can get started if you want to do social good, the first steps in incorporating social impact models such as giving back or social hiring, and how to be a socially conscious entrepreneur while still living the life of your dreams! Rasheda also discusses all of this in more depth in her first book Social Entrepreneurship (which was recently released!) so be sure to grab your copy!
