Be Bold Podcast - Episode 8 (2/13/2009)

Lara Galinsky of Echoing Green answers listener questions about creating meaningful careers.  Britt Bravo hosts the show.

Question 1:
I'm launching a CPA/Consulting firm dedicated to advising and helping organizations and individuals who value people and planet.  I'm interested in locating highly qualified business partners but so many people want the guarantee and stability of a firm paycheck.  How do I locate and entice dreamers, risk takers and do-gooders to collaborate in an entrepreneurial venture and share some of the risk?

Question 2:
I am passionately interested in the future and cutting edge ideas and solutions. I would like to empower women, youth and seniors…underserved people by providing easy to understand information and resources on alternative energy, sustainable living, green jobs and old and new conservation practices. Do you have any suggestions on where I can amass extensive information on these subjects on my own? Are there government agencies, no-profits, individuals, trade organizations or businesses providing this service now? Some of the conferences are quite expensive and as a single parent, often a six day a week full time employee, I am unable to attend a college courses or a university at this time.
