Carrie Rich | How to Show Up, Learn, and Listen to Make Entrepreneurial Good in the World

The Lesson: 

Expressing genuine interest in learning, in a job, in what other people have to say, in showing up even when you aren't necessarily needed, this is a behavior which boardrooms around the world will want to vacuum up, as long as one makes certain they see it. 

Notable Excerpt:

“One of the things I've learned is that every human adds value to our collective story; you have to believe that. If you're really going to believe in making the world a better place, you have to believe that every human adds value. And if you believe that then you're open to having meaningful conversations with everyone no matter where they are in this moment in life, so I don't care if I'm on a bus, or a plane, or a train, or the street, or the slum, or the boardroom, I'm genuinely interested in learning from the people next to me." 

The Guest:

Carrie Rich believes in making the world better through business and leadership. That is why she co-founded The Global Good Fund ten years ago to invest in high potential, overlooked social entrepreneurs.

 

Many entrepreneurs need access to capital to scale, so she went on to found and manage the Global Impact Fund, which is dedicated to investing in socially impactful businesses primarily led by black, brown and women founders.

 

Carrie's fourth book, Impact The World: Live Your Values and Drive Changes as a Citizen Statesperson, was published by Wiley in May 2022 and is now a WSJ and Amazon Best Seller. Carrie is the recipient of the POLITICO Women Who Rule Award, Washington Business Journal 40 under 40, Entrepreneur.com Top 30 Start-ups to Watch, Stevie Award for Women in Business, Asian Social Innovation CEO of the Year, Social Enterprise Alliance 50 under 40, and Empact100.

 

Carrie's fundamental message is about accessibility - everyday people can empower themselves and others.
