Episode 13: The Social Entrepreneur with Peter Hirsch

Peter Hirsch is a social entrepreneur. He’s also a sought after international speaker, but that’s not how he introduces himself. For Peter, it’s a lot more important to talk about where you come from, and not who knows where you’re going. And today on Masters of Wealth, he’s sitting down with Johnny to talk about what exactly social entrepreneurship is, why being happy with money isn’t always so different from being evil, and why the first goal of any charity is profit (and why that’s not a bad thing).
