Episode Synopsis


In this episode of 'Life of a Social Entrepreneur', I dig into a powerful idea: 'we should be aiming to free people from the need for traditional charity.' What does that really mean? And are social enterprises today solving the root problems, or just sustaining cycles of need? Drawing on my work at Training Cave, where we prepare young people for life through boxing, mentorship, and education, I explore the difference between providing relief and creating lasting change. I also share why I believe true social entrepreneurship should empower people to become self-sufficient, positive members of society who pass their knowledge on to future generations.
