Social Business-change the world through business

A Little About Me:

I am a 26 year old serial entrepreneur, turned social entrepreneur. Growing up I was always around business; my dad has always owned his own company, since I was a born at least. In truth, I have never really worked a normal job..well, unless you call a high school job as a waiter normal. I have been starting my own businesses since about 20 years old. My wife and I did our first fix and flip real estate property then and made close to $30,000! Since then I have gone on to start a few other businesses, and have developed an insatiable appetite for reading and learning all things business!

My Dilemma:

In tandem with this growing knowledge and passion for business was a desire to spend my life helping people. My first international trip was at 15 years old with a church group: staying and working at in an orphanage in a small Russia town. This trip forever changed my life. From there I have gone on numerous other trips of this sort. Through these experiences I realized I wanted to spend my life helping people, especially people in unjust situations. Perspective changes when you look poverty in the face with your own eyes. I was not sure how to balance these two growing, seemingly contradictory, passions: business and charity.

The Solution:

Then a few years ago, I came across the concept of social business. All of a sudden it all clicked, I thought, “This is it, this is what I want to spend my life doing.” Combining all of my business experience and knowledge with my biggest life passion to make a difference. This led me to start my own social enterprise, Ethic Travel. An online vacation rental company with a social mission: helping build homes for families in need with every booking .
