Create a Long Lasting Impact on Your Community With Social Entrepreneurship - Greg Dolezal, Ology

From a very young age, Greg Dolezal has learned how beneficial it could be to contribute to others in need and to stay active. He was a boyscoot, he is a musician playing with The Young Buffalos, he is involved in the Democratic Party Abroad, coaching and teaching as well, etc.

But, something was missing to Greg for all these years of devoting his time to good causes and his energy to change the world...

He was always frustrated of following someone else's idea.

So, Greg decided to take the leap an start his own social-business; Ology. For us at Creators in Saigon, it was the perfect opportunity to learn more about what is a social business and how different it is from a "normal" business.

During this interview,

Greg explains us how to transform your business into a mission-oriented social-business, that will truly create an impact on the long run and not just make a good sale today.

We discuss what's behind "CSR" (Corporate Social Responsibility), what is truly social, what's not and how hard it is to build a social-enterprise.

Greg also shares with us how important it is to connect with your community, go to help others in need and grow your business by truly adding value to other people around you.

In other words, you will learn how adding the "social" dimension to your business can create a unique mutually beneficial ecosystem for all.

This episode is only a fraction of what's left to cover on the topic of social entrepreneurship. So, if you are interested to learn more, feel free to connect with Greg and Ology!
