With IntentionAuthor: Joel M. Harrison
Just imagine the change we could make if the majority of organizations made decisions for people and the planet instead of just for profit. You can call it whatever you want, social impact, sustainability, philanthropy, but whatever you call it, its about designing a better future for our ourselves and our children. I'm Joel Harrison, and on this show, we dive into the perspective of the very people behind these organizations, the social entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders and change makers. We talk about successes, failures, and advice for people like you looking to make change through your business and work.
