Do you want to find ways to make money and help society? Try social venture entrepreneurship to make more impact. It’s when people use business as a force for good in the world. The big news is because we live in such an interconnected society these days, social entrepreneurs have access to more resources than ever before. 

This has made them one of the most economically powerful groups on earth - with billions of dollars invested into their ideas every year! But why should you care? Well, if you're like me, you're interested in making your money work for something bigger.

In this episode you’ll discover a powerful strategy to build your business network, along with some incredible examples of how our guest has done this with Tony Robbins, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, and former CEO of PepsiCo Indra Nooyi.

Enter my interview with social venture entrepreneur and CEO and Co-Founder of Nunbelievable, Bryan Janeczko. Nunbelievable is a better-for-you baked goods company. This is a social impact venture with a give-back model to combat food insecurity that’s backed by Tony Robbins and others. Their mission is to create incredible snacking opportunities while ending hunger in the most delicious way.

He makes a big announcement in this episode where they’ve just crossed a HUGE social venture threshold.

Bryan is a pioneer in the now $1 billion on-demand meal delivery industry beginning with NuKitchen, the novel prepared meal delivery service that he co-founded and ultimately sold to Nutrisystem, paving the way for the online meal delivery industry.

He’s also a  member of the Advisory Board at Sparks & Honey, the cultural intelligence agency; and he works alongside industry luminaries such as Indra Nooyi to help identify what's new and next in culture, particularly as it relates to startup food innovation. Business Insider and Pitchbook named him one of the most influential LGBTQ entrepreneurs for co-founding StartOut, which now is the world’s leading non-profit fostering entrepreneurship in the LGBTQ community.
