“I think young people are tinking. We're seeing an incredible generational shift where now 55% of millennials say that a company's social cause work was a really important factor in deciding whether to go for work for a company. And so companies have no choice but to get involved in social cause work if they want to hire and retain great talent.”

“So, when you're talking about that concept, I don't want to get your book in a second about some, but one of the things that I think a lot of people feel are lacking are that interest in social issues and sort of all the coming home to roost right now in these hearings that have been going on and about the responsibility of companies like Facebook and Google and others. Why is that shifting? Because it didn't seem like there was a whole lot of that before in the startups that they did not think of anything but growth, growth, growth. Social issues were very low on the totem pole if they're at all or they were relegated to a status that never got fixed.”

“There are dozens of social entrepreneurship classes at Stanford, and that's really exciting because I'm seeing in my students that it's not just a certain type of student who's going to go in the nonprofit sector. It's computer science majors, it's engineering majors. There is a passion and an interest of young people to get involved in social causes like never before.”

“So, social entrepreneurship is a new form of creating social change. It used to be about checkbook charity, about, let's say, Bill Drayton, the godfather of social entrepreneurship, says it's no longer about just giving a man a fish or even teaching a mana fish. We need to revolutionize the fishing industry. And that's exactly what social entrepreneurs do. They're thinking about how you can solve the underlying problems of, say, homelessness so you don't have to just give a man a bed. That you can prevent homelessness from happening in the first place”

“So talk about the idea of what a social entrepreneur is because that's something what Stanford has. Stanford has a lot of programs. I know Lauren Driesen's involved, and there's a whole bunch of people involved in it. Explain that for people.”

“Spark was amazing. We had a ton of momentum. We had a ton of buzz. And just when we hit our stride, we hit this wall. We couldn't get the capital that we needed. To grow the organization. And so many years later, when I began teaching social entrepreneurship at Stafford, I became really curious, well, who are the organizations that are scaling this wall and what were they doing that we weren't doing at Spark?”

“Duty to give back to the community. So oftentimes you would find my sisters and me tagging along with my parents giving back at soup kitchens. And my parents sat on dozens of nonprofit boards over the years. And so the conversations at our dinner table didn't just revolve around the people in our community that didn't have enough to eat, but the nonprofits themselves and how they really struggled to survive and thrive. So I've always had this real passion for giving back particularly to nonprofits. And so when I was a young lawyer in San Francisco, Looked for ways to get involved and find them and ended up co-founding my own nonprofit Spark, which engages young professionals in giving back to gender equality issues.”

“In an ugly period of time in startup land, I think. But here we're going to talk about what you're doing. Give me a little bit of your background. Now, I want to know how you got to writing about this social entrepreneurship because Stanford has a very big program in that. There's a lot of really interesting things going on there.”
