The Founder

As an executive with Fortune 500 companies, Tony Loyd focused on creating sustainable, profitable growth.

As he sought to resolve the dynamic tension between shareholders and other stakeholders, he set out to answer two fundamental questions:

  • To meet the needs of shareholders, do we have to sacrifice other stakeholders such as employees, the communities in which we work, and the planet on which we depend?
  • If we focus on shareholders alone, is that a sustainable business model?

Inspired by the work of mission-driven businesses, he launched Social Entrepreneur in 2015. Ranked #1 in FOUR iTunes Categories, the show has been downloaded a quarter-million times in over 180 countries. To date, he has interviewed more than 200 changemakers and is considered to be a global expert on social entrepreneurship.

Based on what he has learned, Tony published the best-selling book, Crazy Good Advice: 10 Lessons Learned from 150 Leading Social Entrepreneurs.
