One of our goals in producing this podcast is to give social entrepreneurs resources, tools and tips on how to better run your organization - both in areas of impact, and in the day to day business operations. For many of us, the reason we work in social enterprise is that we are very passionate about helping others in a specific cause and mission. We’re good at what we do and we pour our heart into trying to have the most impact possible. Sometimes, one of the best ways we can support our own work and deepen our impact is to find others who can support us in the various needs for our companies.
This is why we invited Jamie Kleman of Breakwater Corp to join us in today’s episode. As a Relationship Manager for Breakwater, Jamie spends her days listening to the stories and needs of business owners and leaders of nonprofits so she can understand their pain points and connect them with a dedicated team to provide peace of mind.
