Finding Purpose in Business by Making a Positive Impact on People’s Lives

I was recently interviewed by Marc Freedman and Yanik Silver on Profits With Purpose. I found the experience to be eye-opening. Marc and Yanik are passionate about what they do. Profits With Purpose features decision-makers from companies in a discussion on how they have grown their company, challenges faced, how to reduce expenses, and how to create social impact.

Marc, the President, CEO and Founder of Encore.org, is a renowned social entrepreneur, thought leader, and writer.  Under Marc’s leadership, Encore.org has pioneered innovative programs and sparked a growing movement in the United States and beyond to tap the talent and experience of people past midlife as a human resource for solving our most vexing social problems.Yanik is the creator of the Cosmic Journal, author of Evolved Enterprise and the founder of Maverick1000, a global network of top entrepreneurs & visionary entrepreneurs making a serious difference in the world, without taking themselves too seriously. In fact, it’s not unusual to find him dressed as a lemur, a showgirl or even in matching mermaid tails with Sir Richard Branson.Here are just a few of the topics we covered:

• Making a positive impact on people’s lives, having fun doing it, and sharing in the rewards.
• Why it’s more important to get the best partner rather than the best price.
• Why a truly productive workday is less hours than you think.
• Having the self-confidence as an entrepreneur to cross-functional train yourself in the areas of a business you don’t know to save on hiring the experts.

If you enjoyed it, please do me a favor and leave a comment to let me know what part made the biggest impact for you.

Cheers,Trev
