Thanks for checking out the Awarepreneurs podcast! My name is Paul Zelizer and I am passionate - you could say obsessed - about the intersection of 3 things: a) conscious business, b) social impact and c) awareness practices. I believe these 3 movements are some of the most dynamic movements on our planet at this time.

Around the world. people are discovering how to lead with compassion and create businesses that truly are a force for good. Each week, I do a deep dive interview with a thought leader in this intersection. Someone who has an enterprise that is market tested and already transforming many lives. I ask the gritty and sometimes challenging questions - like how they earn their money, how many people they help and what some of their biggest failures are.

My goal for this show is to help you grow your businesses, enhance your well being and increase your social impact.

Unique, insightful, and necessary

I am glad I came across the Awarepreneurs podcast. This is a must-listen for anyone interested in conscious business, social impact, and awareness practices. Hosted by the passionate and knowledgeable Paul Zelizer, the podcast offers some fantastic insights from thought leaders at the intersection of these three dynamic movements. I really appreciate the rawness and authenticity of the interviews. Paul isn't afraid to ask uncomfortable, and oftentimes quite personal questions. Hearing from thought leaders on their impact, but also on their failures, helped me develop a better understanding of what it really takes to build a business that is not only financially successful but also socially responsible. Overall, the Awarepreneurs Podcast provides informative, inspirational, and practical lessons in conscious entrepreneurship, with the ability to truly empower socially responsible entrepreneurs. Highly recommended not only to aspiring and current entrepreneurs, but also anyone who wants to use their skills and talents to make a positive impact on the world.
