Inspiring and insightful

I very much enjoyed this book and learned a lot: useful frameworks, self-assessment (loved the impact balance sheet idea), and appreciated the many personal experiences of the innovative entrepreneurs that the author shared. Alex Amoyel's personal journey is woven into the book and she writes with humor, and authenticity. I was left with many new insights and food for thought. Very much recommend this book to anyone who's interested in learning about social entrepreneurship, especially to those curious about how to get started in the world of social impact.
