While giving food or money to the poor provides relief, this form of helping tends to be temporary and generates dependency. If we genuinely care for others, we want to help them create lasting changes in their lives by creating jobs and increasing economic opportunities. There are ways to help that can create sustainable economic growth, foster self-sufficiency, and help people end poverty in their community in the long term. Thomas Carlson, the founder of ECatalyst, joins us in this episode to talk about entrepreneurial ecosystems and how this helps poor communities create sustainable economic growth as a way to end poverty. Frustrated with the traditional charity model, Thomas invests in entrepreneurial ecosystems to generate permanent changes in people's lives and create a legacy of positive growth that lasts beyond their lifetime.
