Four world-changing entrepreneurs.
Interviewed live in front an audience.
And answering your questions.

Social Entrepreneur is the weekly premier podcast at the intersection of profit and purpose. We tell positive stories from underrepresented voices, focused on solutions. We’re switching it up a bit for Twin Cities Startup Week. We’re going live! You’ll hear the stories of four changemakers.

They will talk about their successes, their failures, and what they've learned along the way. At the end of the night, we’ll reassemble all four entrepreneurs for a 15-minute Q&A.
