Today's episode is about redemptive entrepreneurship and creating impact-driven businesses and nonprofits.
Join Dave and Carly as they welcome guest Dan Reed, a partner at Praxis Capital. Praxis is a venture-building ecosystem with a redemptive imagination, supporting founders, funders, and innovators motivated by faith to address the major issues of our time. Dan is inspired by the potential of generous, forward-thinking capital to catalyze cultural transformation.
The group discusses the concept of redemptive entrepreneurship and ventures, exploring the importance of leadership qualities and ethical extremes within nonprofits and the business realm. Redemptive entrepreneurship emerges as a beacon of hope as the philanthropic world has been suffering in the last couple of years. Dan goes into the discernment between market and redemptive opportunities in entrepreneurship.
Topics covered:
The importance of invaluable qualities of redemptive leadership in both nonprofit and business contexts
The power of the redemptive entrepreneurship method that aims to mend a broken system
Creative problem-solving and ethical business practices
How imagination-driven collaboration between nonprofit, business, and funder leaders can address social issues.
