You can create a business with impact, and that provides you a good living. I started the Mission Driven Business podcast to show you how. My guests and I focus on five principles for creating a successful mission-driven business: passion, vision, values, strategy, and tactics. We use these principles as a lens to help you create a business that is both purposeful and profitable.
I am a tax attorney and certified financial planner specializing in providing comprehensive financial and business planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses. The Mission Driven Business podcast was born out of my passion for helping socially conscious entrepreneurs create a business of their dreams. You’ll hear stories of experiences, strength, and hope and get practical advice to help you build a business that will support your incredible life and might change the world, too.
