Social entrepreneurs play a crucial role in making social impact a reality. They, however, face unique challenges and complexities compared to traditional entrepreneurs. Unlike traditional entrepreneurs, whose primary focus is profit, social entrepreneurs balance their mission with the need for sustainable business models as they start with a mission-driven approach, seeking to address social dilemmas and gaps in their communities.   In this episode, Jenny shifts focus from exploring the "why" behind social impact to diving into the "who" of social entrepreneurship. The episode stresses on the importance of understanding the resource gaps social entrepreneurs face, which include social capital, human capital, and financial capital that make it challenging for social entrepreneurs to grow and scale their ventures and maintain a sustainable impact, as well as the key role training and development for social entrepreneurs play in creating successful entreprises, as many lack the necessary business knowledge.
