HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all our men listeners. This conversation has an interesting segment about the gap in the social education of young men.
As women we tend to want to save the world, but we do it for free and sometimes to our own peril. However, have you ever considered that you can solve social problems and make money at the same time. That is the definition of Social Entrepreneurship. Our colonisers gave us the non-governmental organisation model and created a dependency on charity. We actually need to move away from Non-for-profit organisations and make businesses that are sustainable, profitable and making positive change in our communities.
