Episode notes
What can a global citizen like you do to tackle overwhelming challenges facing the world today?
Join me for a talk about business for social change, leveraging the strengths of women and people at all levels of society to address global challenges, and lessons from the microfinance movement that can inform effective global action on issues like poverty, climate change and democracy.
We travel virtually to rural Bangladesh, inner-city Chicago and beyond with Alex Counts—who is an inspiring nonprofit business leader, a protégé of Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, and author of the book Small Loans, Big Dreams.
