We Need More Social Entrepreneurs

Published on: 20th December, 2020

Tony is a leadership development expert who helps purpose-driven business leaders to thrive in life so that they can connect with others and contribute to the world.

He is a former Fortune 500 executive with companies such as John Deere, Medtronic, and Buffalo Wild Wings. He has extensive experience in strategic planning, talent management, and leadership development.

Tony is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, business coach, and a podcast host.

Today he talks about the importance of finding a way to do things for the good of society. There are four main ways to do this, through his 4-S framework - Sell, Source, Staff, Share. 

By using one or more of these four areas, companies like Evrnu https://www.evrnu.com/  and http://www.arqlite.com/ are providing ways to have a positive impact on the world.

A good point that was made is that these sort of innovations are the result of chance encounters. Most people think they don't have the ingenuity  to come up with such inventions or ideas. Tony feels it's a matter of getting out and about.  He says "miracles find you while you're in motion." It could be something as simple as an overheard conversation while you're in line at the grocery store, that leads to an introduction...but none of it happens if you're sitting on your sofa.

You can download a copy of his best-selling book, "Crazy Good Advice: 10 Lessons Learned from 150 Leading Social Entrepreneurs", on his primary website, https://tonyloyd.com

About the Podcast

Beyond Retirement
What really happens after retirement?

If you’re approaching retirement—or already there—and wondering what now?, you’re not alone. The world is full of financial advice for retirement, but there’s far less about how to actually live a fulfilling life once the 9-to-5 ends.

Beyond Retirement is the podcast that explores what comes after the career chapter. Whether your retirement was planned or unexpected, joyful or jarring, you’ll find real stories, honest conversations, and practical inspiration here.

Join host Jacquie Doucette as she shares her own journey and speaks with people who’ve reimagined life after work—some fully retired, some shifting gears, and all discovering new meaning in this next stage. From finding purpose to building community, embracing play, and navigating change, we’ll explore how to create a life that truly fits.

Because retirement isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning.

Let’s figure out what comes next, together.
