I am the CEO and co-founder of Purpose - a social movement incubator and agency. We work on ways to help millions of people combine their power as citizens, consumers and cultural agents.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Increasingly, I'm inspired by entrepreneurs who run nonprofit organizations that fund themselves, or for-profit organizations that achieve social missions while turning a profit.
The life purpose of the true social entrepreneur is to change the world.
I want to spark ideas and conversations and inspire people to take active roles in their communities, relationships and their well-being.
As leaders, our job is to engage people so that they will want to participate in this grand experience in self governance.
I've spent about that amount of time trying to tell the public that there was purpose in... my business, my career and the roller coaster ride... how the people I associated with worked together.
My mission is to become part of Time Inc. and push the business forward.
I'm obviously very involved with my own charity and foundation that I work with. Obviously, I'm very passionate about that.
My goal has been to encourage jointness, to push people to think of affiliations rather than to operate as solo entrepreneurs.
You meet with a CEO or founder. You talk about sales, engineering, product management and give some ideas or suggestions. And the founder quickly understands that you really can help them both operationally and from a strategic standpoint.
Integrate purpose into your for-profit business model through a long term commitment to a cause that is aligned with your core values and those of your community.
