In this podcast, Jen Helms interviews entrepreneurs solving hard problems that matter. Through conversation we aim to inspire others to build businesses that do more than create incremental improvements. Instead, we demonstrate the path to building businesses solving the most pressing problems we face as a species. Whether it’s through innovative new technologies, products that move an industry forward, or process creation that flips the status quo on its head. Entrepreneurs with new approaches not only have the opportunity to push society forward in a positive way but also open up new market opportunities. Doing this, however, is hard. This podcast is a chance to be inspired and learn from those daring to build the hard businesses that create a better world. We call these entrepreneurs impact drivers.
