Money Mission & Me: Stories From Social Entrepreneurs

This podcast is for the mission-driven entrepreneur, aspiring entrepreneur, and social enterprise enthusiast. Join me as I interview entrepreneurs from all over the world who are pursuing both profits and positive impact. For episode 6, we're joined by Mollie Dowling, Executive Director of OAI, Inc. Mollie shares her experience starting two social enterprises - High Bridge L3C and Retention Plus - within a nonprofit workforce development organization. We explore what workforce development organizations do in general, and both the benefits and challenges of starting a social enterprise business within a nonprofit. Some resources that Mollie recommends: The Mission-Driven Venture: Business Solutions to the World's Most Vexing Social Problems (book) by Mark Lane, and the Social Enterprise Alliance which has regional chapters across the United States.
