Student Empowerment and Social Enterprise: The Andy Babowski Interview - Part 2

The Mindful Marketplace with Joel Skene

What if you had the power to change a student's life? This podcast episode promises to enlighten you about the potential of social enterprises to address market and social problems. We're thrilled to have Andy Babowski, a social entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and co-founder of Backers, as our esteemed guest. Listen in as we engage in a profound discussion about high-performing yet under-resourced students, who, despite their efforts, face struggles to achieve economic success. We'll explore the indispensable role of social and financial capital, and how Backers is revolutionizing the mentoring process to empower these students.
The episode also uses an innovative lens to view the concept of digital mentoring, showcasing our proprietary app that connects students with resourceful adults from diverse backgrounds. Uncover the potential impact as we walk you through the importance of journey-based mentoring and the power of having multiple backers for each student. Hear about how a simple cash stipend can support a student's ambition and everyday essentials. As we venture into the second half, you'll discover the crucial role of diversifying networks for youngsters through mentoring programs. We'll outline our unique selection process for students and backers, and the significant influence of these programs in amplifying social capital and providing invaluable connections. So tune in, and let's collectively reimagine the power of investing in each other!
