Listeners to Word By Word: Conversations With Writers host Gil Mansergh wants listeners to know they have a great opportunity to hear two conversations with award-winning advocates for radical forms of entrepreneurism on July’s show.
“Find your voice,” says KIVA co-founder Jessica Jackley. “This means expressing something about you and what you believe. It is the first step toward doing valuable action in the world.” While her micro-lending organization continues to change the face of poverty across the globe, this social entrepreneur with a Stanford MBA has also started ProFounder to help U.S. startups through crowd funding, and is a venture partner at the Collaborative Fund. Her new book is Clay Water, Brick: Finding Inspiration From Entrepreneurs Who Do the Most With the Least.
“Listen carefully and learn from what your customers tell you,” says Barefoot Wines co-founders Michael Houlihan and Bonnie Harvey when they talk with many of the same audiences as Jessica Jackley to share the practical yet universal lessons they learned while developing America’s best-selling wine brand.Their books are The Barefoot Spirit: How Hardship, Hustle and Heart Built America’s #1 Wine Brand, and The Entreprenurial Culture: 23 Ways to Engage and Empower You People.
