Cause Minded? THIS is for you!
March 5, 2022 by Travel with a Purpose from United States
What I love about Josh and Social Change Nation is that they’re showing us a way we can spend and support with a purpose. For those who may not be a ‘social entrepreneur’, there’s still an important role that everyone can play in making this world a better place. For some, it’s creating these companies, sharing their successes and hardships for others to learn from. For others, their purpose may be to spend a dollar where it will best be used to serve others. Social Change Nation speaks to all ‘cause minded’ audiences. No matter your role in this ecosystem, there’s something we all can learn. THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO!
A must listen for cause base minded people.

The Best Resource for Social Entrepreneurs I Have Found
March 4, 2022 by Founder, Invisible Souls from United States
There are many resources available to social entrepreneurs, but this is one of the best I have found. I am in the very early stages of a startup. Hearing from others that have already walked the path enlightens me and also reminds me that it can be done when things seem a bit overwhelming. I feel that the information shared here will change and impact how I do things going forward. This cuts to the chase and gives me the exact info I need even before I know I need it!
Social Entrepreneurship understood

Why Social Change Nation MATTERS
March 3, 2022 by Panty Provider from United States
Josh Schukman has truly created something that matters - in the eyes of social entrepreneurs and in the eyes of those who care about making a difference by way of cause based business models. I'm the founder of MADI Apparel - for every pair of underwear you buy, a pair is donated to a woman in need. We are new, we are growing, and we are attempting to spread as much awareness as possible about the need for underwear donations. So, in my eyes, any platform that cheers on social causes and the ideas behind business that give back, is a platform that we should all support and take notice of. It's people like Josh - who care to listen to companies who spend their days attempting to give voices to the voiceless - that we should cheer on. His podcast is one more way for us to unite and spread the word about cause based business. GO SOCIAL CHANGE NATION! we can't wait to hear more exciting podcasts!
Inspiring stories of social good

We often hear about great ideas that can change the world, but rarely do we get a chance to learn the stories behind them. Josh’s podcast give a glimpse into what it takes to launch and run successful social enterprises. Each interview gives color on the personal stories behind the ideas, which helps make the process of engaging in social good less intimidating and more attainable. Great work!

Essential for any Social Entrepreneur
February 25, 2022 by JaredAngaza from United States
Brian Tracy always said, “find people that are operating at the level you want to achieve and start by doing what they are doing”. Josh has opened up this door for anyone wishing to make a positive impact through enterprise. On top of that, Josh’s questions are thoughtful, intelligent and provocative. I would consider this essential listening for any social entrepreneur, regardless of your tenure in the industry.

We need more podcasts like this!
October 5, 2021 by LornaLi from United States
There aren’t a lot of social entrepreneurship podcasts on iTunes that aren’t boring, academic, & produced by stodgy MBA programs. It’s great to see a podcaster passionate about business for good, like Josh is.
