“The practice of entrepreneurship is the ‘how,’ and the social is the ‘why.’”
In this conversation, author and social entrepreneur Madeleine Shaw invites us to reimagine the landscape of entrepreneurship. She shares insights about how we are all unlearning something, how flexibility is the new balance, and how we can create the conditions for social change using empathy, storytelling, and community.

Employing the tools of entrepreneurship to build the scaffolding for social change,
The importance of nurturing relationships,
How to communicate productively with people who might not share the same values, and
Encouragement and advice for people just starting out and for those who want to start doing better
