#56 - (Pt. 1) 50 Social Entrepreneurs & Change-Makers Share Advice & Lessons Learned to Inspire You to Change the World

See the full show notes here: https://growensemble.com/social-entrepreneurs/

In early 2019, we here at Grow Ensemble launched The Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation Podcast, where each week we've been releasing an episode featuring both established and emerging leaders in the social impact and socially responsible business space.

We've covered a variety of topics with social entrepreneurs and innovators from a wide breadth of industries—tour companies, medtech, agencies, hospitality, and many many more.

In each conversation, I know our team here at Grow Ensemble has extracted a variety of lessons, and in this post (and two-part podcast) we want to share (a few) of those lessons with you.

Whether you want to hear from the CEOs of some of the world's most successful socially responsible businesses, small business leaders punching way above their weight, or Executive Directors from nonprofit organizations influencing massive positive change, they are all in here. :)

Not to mention, businesses you'll see (or hear) here, aren't just running a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program to check the boxes on social good, these businesses and business people have integrated positive social change and impact into their core of how they do business and how they show up in the world.

What a pleasure it was to sit down with so many generous and successful social entrepreneurs and innovators thus far!

Excited for many more inspiring conversations and connections in the year to come.
