Finding Meaning and Purpose in Your Life and Bringing Dignity to Social Services with Social Entrepreneur Erine Gray I'll Go First® with Jessica Minhas

Erine Gray, Founder of Aunt Bertha, was 17-years-old when his mom suffered an acute neurological illness that left her requiring around the clock care. Ten years later, just as Erine was starting his career, he took on full legal guardianship of her. Rather than being resentful of these new responsibilities, Erine found his purpose; to bring dignity to those receiving social service care. Erine shares with us how he’s made meaning of his story, how he found his purpose (and why he loves his job so much), and how he’s learned to put words to his experiences.
