Ep. 1 - See Clearly, Act Wisely

In this inaugural episode, you'll meet Michael Messer - Business Coach for Social Entrepreneurs and Community Builders.  When Michael was 27 years old, he was sent to a former prison camp in the Russian Far East. As an early practitioner of social impact investing, he met with a U.S./Russian joint venture to evaluate the positive economic impacts of an industrial project in Siberia. Michael saw how a single business focused on both economic and social measures of success can transcend job and wage creation to transform communities by shifting mindsets and empowering people.
