Ep #264 Investing in Social Impact Interview With Charlie Hartwell Managing Partner of Bridge Builders Collaborative

I got to interview Charlie Hartwell.

Charlie started his first business, H&H Headquarters, in 2nd grade. He sold lemonade, made crafts and did odd jobs, and he’s been an avid entrepreneur ever since. He took a traditional path through Wall Street and Harvard Business School, but his post graduate work for major corporations left him unfulfilled. He left to help small businesses, and start new ones. One of these startups was the first for profit business expedition company in US history. The company promoted the Bancroft Arnesen expedition, the first ever all female crossing of the Antarctic Continent. The team used the expedition to empower girls and women to follow their dreams. This campaign generated 2.2 billion media impressions, and was endorsed by Apple, CNN, Volvo, Motorola and the Girl Scouts.

We spoke about:

  • His journey to now.
  • What motivates him.
  • Weaknesses he turned into strengths.
  • Advice for the audience.
  • And much more.
