How to Build a Social Enterprise That Scales | Merry Korn

Most founders are told they have to choose between purpose and profit. Merry Korn built a social enterprise that did both – hiring disabled veterans, military spouses, and people with disabilities to grow Pearl Interactive Network to 1,300 employees across 30 states. She shares what it took: accessing government contracts, embracing courage work that aligns with your purpose, and building a business mission that marries social impact with real revenue. This conversation is for leaders who want to scale with meaning – and discover that the two aren't in conflict.
