Return On Impact: How Vision-Driven Business Creates Wealth With Dan Vega

In a world where success is too often measured by profit alone, redefining ROI as return on impact might just be the shift we all need. In this episode, I sit down with Dan Vega—serial entrepreneur, Forbes-featured investor, and founder of Blu University—to explore how building wealth and changing lives can go hand in hand.
