It's the thing almost all of us cringe at...SELLING.
We say to ourselves, can't we just hire someone to do it? Or can't we just partner with a marketing guru to make it all go away?
The most honest answer to these questions is NO.
The simple fact is that if you want to make it in social impact entrepreneurship it WILL mean selling yourself and the impact you're making.
So, Josh made this podcast to help you make this easy as pie.
