Why you should consider not for profit as a structure for your business

On this podcast and in many other business circles people are talking about creating meaning and purpose in their business. We talk about social and environmental justice and creating a more humane future for everyone. But typically we don’t talk about the idea of not for profit businesses.

The truth is that most entrepreneurs shun the idea of not for profit and I think that may be a big mistake. The title of the post Post Growth referred to the inherent finite resources of resources on this planet.

There is a lot of really interesting ways to use a not-for-profit to create a business that not only is financially sustainable for you and your family but also for the broader community and the planet.

Listen in on this conversation about creating an economy that is more equitable for all involved.
