It's the thing almost all of us cringe at...SELLING. We say to ourselves, can't we just hire someone to do it? Or can't we just partner with a marketing guru to make it all go away?  The most honest answer to these questions is NO. The simple fact is that if you want to make it in social impact entrepreneurship it WILL mean selling yourself and the impact you're making. So, Josh made this podcast to help you make this easy as pie. P.S.

Jump on this episode where Josh boils down 'Lean Startup' tactics for social good. Basically, this means he'll show you some proven tactics for launching with less time and money than you thought you needed ;) This episode and this entire mini-series are sponsored by a social impact business called Live the Give.
