Andy Davenport, founder of Crispy King Treats, shares how he’s building a for-profit bakery with a social mission: to lower the disability unemployment rate by 1%. In this episode, he dives into the realities of running a purpose-driven business, the power of community, and how the workforce can transform when we recognize the unique strengths people with disabilities bring to the table.
Key Take Aways:
