What You’ve Missed This Week On The Community - 18th May 2018 by The Happy Startup School

Laurence and Carlos host this weekly webinar to help those following the Purpose + Profit program. They answer any questions about the challenges and explain how they link to each other to help participants build a picture of the business they want to create.

Community member and one of Laurences coaching clients Hayli Chwang, co-founder of Dodo Labs in Berlin, will be crowdfunding for a pilot TV show for kids later this year (see trailer below) and has lots of questions on her mind. Chances are if you've considered crowdfunding yourself, you'll be in a similar boat.

So this week I'm in Egypt and so apologies for the sound quality on the video. Deserts can get windy. I'm at Vested Summit, the world's first conscious tech summit and it's been a great experience. I've met some fascinating people from around the world working in the fields AI, peaceful tech, games design, blockchain and transformational entrepreneurship. While there is a lot of tech talk many of the conversations come back to thinking about people and how they're affected. I recorded this video 1 hour before my talk and so I was a little nervous about how the audience would recieve "Stop doing business and start being human".

What you've missed this week in the community - 4th May 2018 by The Happy Startup School

Listen to a weekly round of what's been happening on our online community. This is an episode targeted at subscribed members to sign post them to the latest content that's been posted to our platform.

This week the weather has been terrible. A big contrast to last week. I'd toyed with the idea of doing this video outside but it was too wet and the rain too noisy.

You might have noticed our online community has taken a turn for the AWESOME since we moved to the Mighty Networks platform. We're so happy with how it works and the engagement it's created for our content and the content created by our members has been amazing.

Seeing people share their challenges, knowledge and experiences and the impact it's created for individual members has underlined that we made the right choice with the move. Here's a round up of what you may have missed this week...

Each month we run a group call for new members to introduce them to each other and get them connected.

What does it mean to build a business that not only makes money but also makes a meaningful contribution to people's lives?

In a world where people are looking for more than just a paycheck how do we attract and keep talented people?

In this webinar Carlos talks with Arthur Woods the cofounder of Imperative, an organisation that has set out to help everyone realise their potential as employees and educate businesses as to why this is imporant. Building on the pioneering work of his cofounder Aaron Hurst, author of the Purpose Economy, they have brought together over a decade's worth of research to design a framework and set of tools to help people get clear on their purpose.

We love their work so much that we've partnered with them to integrate their tools into our Home School program. We believe that business success comes from strong leadership and that strong leadership comes from clarity. When you understand your purpose and what really motivates you into action then work becomes much more effortless.
