How do you build a sustainable business when your primary goal is social change rather than just a bottom line?

After a two-year break, People Helping People is back with Season 3.

This season is all about the "how-to" of social entrepreneurship, helping you bridge the gap between having a heart for change and running a business that actually scales. Building a social enterprise is a unique challenge. You aren’t just a nonprofit chasing grants, but you aren’t a typical for-profit startup only focused on revenue. You’re somewhere in the middle.

Adam talks about why social entrepreneurs think differently and why things like marketing, sales, and finance are actually the engines that keep your mission alive.

Adam gets honest about his own journey. He shares his transition from a 25-year tech career to launching a t-shirt brand for youth experiencing homelessness. He also opens up about being an entrepreneur and the awkwardness of finally starting a video challenge on social media.

This season isn't just about tips; it’s about community. Whether you're tackling homelessness or building a neighborhood tool library, you don't have to do it alone. Adam previews a season full of expert guests, deep dives into business models, and the peer support you need to turn a blank sheet of paper into a thriving impact venture.
