Why businesses are uniquely positioned to end poverty

with guest Donna Harris, Praxis | Builders and BackersAfghanistan’s drug economy is one of the most lucrative in the country. But what happens when a new business provides communities with jobs cultivating tea as an alternative agriculture? That’s when you get something truly helpful: “redemptive entrepreneurship”.In this episode, Donna Harris of Praxis talks about “redemptive entrepreneurship” and how this can be embedded into the bones of a business with a desire to help—it’s not just about making money and giving part of it away; it’s about structuring a business to meet the needs of its community."You can build beautiful things, and you can be a leader that exhibits kindness and concern as well as grows a highly scalable business. It's a different way to think about the gift that entrepreneurship can be in the world".Recommended Readings:Strength to Love by Martin Luther KingMakers and Takers by Rana ForooharDon’t Be Evil by Rana ForooharLincoln’s Melancholy by Joshua Wolf ShenkEpisode hosted by Shelaine and Eric.
