Doing Well by Doing Good.
From corporate ladder climber to non-profit executive to entrepreneur Aaron Mason has learned how to make a profit while having a positive societal impact.
Aaron graduated college in 2008, at the height of the recession. Jobs were difficult to get so he took the first sales job available. Although the money was good as a salesperson it was not fulfilling. So he decided to focus instead on making a difference and joined a non-profit organization. Although this was a bit more fulfilling, funding was difficult and there where many other challenges that non-profits tend to incur. Finally, Aaron decided it was time to find a way to build a sustainable, profitable business that also have a positive impact.
