Speaking to Mike really got me juiced because so much of what he does is a result of his purpose orientation. By combining hard-earned business lessons, battle-tested experience, and a passion to serve others, Mike and DC Central Kitchen are channeling their purpose to make an impact not just in the Greater DC area but throughout the country. Every decision Mike makes has been filtered through his values and weighed for its potential impact. For me, and so many others, he is a perfect example of how business smarts, combined with a conscious purpose, can take nonprofit efforts to much higher levels of impact and change. We're lucky to have him.
On this episode Mike shares:
- How his own upbringing seeded his purpose of serving others for the greater good
- The importance of thinking deeply about serving others, whether you are a nonprofit or a for-profit
- How applying purpose to drive "profit" actually applies to nonprofits
Why we need to create lives not just careers by sacrificing "profit" for purposeful benefits and incentives for your workforce
