We've reached WDIP Summer School 2023. Our final lesson might seem a bit technical, but attention to this detail can make all the difference to the success of a social purpose enterprise.

In class today, we learn that how a business is incorporated has a real impact on how a business venture can manage a social mission. Benefit Corporations provide entrepreneurs with a tool to change the culture of business investment and operations.

We urge you to rewind to Season 3, Episode 4 (April 13): Sollar Holler: Miing the Sun in West Virginia to reconnect with the behind-the-scenes story. When you are there, take a listen and subscribe.

Dr. Dawn also shares about her adventures this summer at the University of San Francisco working with a team of students to create a teaching/discussion guide for Season 3 so that WDIP can be used to encourage future listeners of the show to find the rich lessons embedded in each episode.

Finally, Dr. Dawn leaves us with a bit of a teaser about Season 4 coming in September. Spoiler: it's all about Ai.

HOMEWORK: Subscribe, share, and connect with us on LinkedIn. We'll be back soon.
