One of the most rewarding things about getting to know so many entrepreneurs is seeing first-hand how many of them are focused on so much more than just financial results. So many of the folks we connect with are focused on having a positive social impact on their community or the world at large. Check out some of these amazing folks below.

Elizabeth Jeffrey | Climate activist

We are a grassroots organization that works to promote and support climate action in our local community. In the almost 4 years we’ve been working on this issue I feel that we’ve increased both the community’s awareness of the need for action and helped accelerate governmental commitment and action to reduce our emissions and begin developing more sustainable and resilient systems.

Dave Schmitt | Alpine Holiday Lighting Owner

This is my favorite part of owning a holiday lighting business. I watch the joy today the holidays bring neighborhoods, people, and businesses together. Holiday lights always seem to put a smile on everyone’s face. It’s the time of year where everyone reflects on the joy of their friends and family. I love getting all the happy phone calls from my customers when they see their lights light up for the first time. I’ve created so many new friendships through my business. Spreading joy is absolutely the best part of my business. Read more>>

Jai Reese | Psychedelic Medicine Guide

Journey With Jai is grounded in (re)-connecting people to the natural world and themselves as an expression of such.

Zephra Eden | MSc, RYT

I started my business to be of service to my community. There are several branches of my business, some of which are still evolving, that are of service in different ways. The first branch involves creating hand-crafted goods from post-consumer materials. These are materials that would normally be disposed of (such as scrap fabric, old jars, ect) that I have re-purposed and up-cycled. Waste has always been an item on my radar, specifically waste that results from packaging and I’ve often wondered why we keep circulating this paradigm. Read more>>
