W.I.S.E. Work in Social Entrepreneurship

W.I.S.E. Work in Social Entrepreneurship is a quarterly column that explores the role of social entrepreneurship and work, to include its contributions to "prevention of illness, injury, and disability" for marginalized populations. The column will include interviews of social entrepreneur leaders who have successfully demonstrated the ability to make a social impact and financially sustain their business. The wisdom from these leaders will be shared to inspire other professionals to consider social entrepreneurship as an occupational work choice to combat social and occupational injustices.
