Ecosystem Building is... (part 4)
Hi Reader,
It's a wrap! Season 1 is in the bag and 2022 is in full swing! Between transitioning into my full-time role at the Shenandoah Community Capital Fund, looking for a house (still) and wrapping up my work at Zebras Unite (and producing season 2 of Ecosystems for Change!) my calendar has looked a little insane.
BUT relief is in sight! I'm super excited to share my key insights about entrepreneurial ecosystem building in Thursday's masterclass Ecosystem Building 101 and I can't wait for my first audio Logbook to go live next week in which I share a lot more of what's going on behind-the-scenes!
The heartbreak in ecosystem buildingWhen I sat down with Michelle things got real quickly. Tune into our conversation to hear Michelle's journey from human rights lawyer to social entrepreneur.
