People, Planet, Profit
On working towards social and environmental impact as an entrepreneur.
For this guest episode, angel investor turned social impact entrepreneur Antal Károlyi joined Juli and the dogs for a walk on Margaret Island.
The path we took:
- Steps from being an investment banker to being a good person, through startup investments and impact projects.
- The limits of the angel investor role and the missing "why" of startup pitches.
- Impact investing and social enterprises, and why making money and having a purpose should not be contradictory.
- If you should start your career by working for your passion or for money.
- How finding an issue close to you can maximize your impact and can fuel your passion.
- The triple bottom line of B-Corps and a new definition of success.
- And if you can still have a life with the responsibility of a social impact project on your shoulders.
