Josh a former nightclub owner and Lisa, a law enforcement officer, applied the Rich Dad principles to their social enterprise called the Journey Healing Centers, private drug and alcohol rehab centers located in Utah and Arizona.

The book features insights from social entrepreneurs across the world, including Cause Communications founder and president, R. Christine Hershey, who talked about what nonprofits can learn from the for-profit sector.

“It’s almost as if, in the old days, in the nonprofit model, there was a virtue that nonprofits didn’t need to be vigorous, or think strategically. I think that’s turned into a crutch…I think they need rigorous best practices to figure out how they’ll survive and make a bigger contribution.”
