Listen to my interview with Michael Brown about the work he does with Eternal Hemp and its alliance with Second Chances. It is all about "Doing well by doing good".
Michael is a strong advocate of helping returning citizens get back on their feet, not only for the individual but for the betterment of society in general.
He focuses on helping people learn that they truly matter and how they can be more empowered in the pursuit of their daily lives.
Eternel Hemp is a technology driven specialty indoor hemp cultivation firm. They focus on solving two major challenges: 1) removing supply chain risk for distributors and brands requiring year round, high quality, pesticide free hemp and 2) helping solve the recidivism crisis by providing returning citizens (formerly incarcerated individuals) employment, skills training and mentor-ship opportunities.
As a double bottom line company, they deliver top-tier returns to investors while enabling social, environmental and economic benefits to the communities where they operate.
His operation is in Delaware, but feel free to reach out to him for dialog and ideas.
Good luck.

Mike shares some great insight into further understanding of the idea of being an entrepreneur of your career.
In fact, he challenges our listeners to think like a problem solver as a way to make the entrepreneurial mindset more relevant to all of us. We are all problem solvers, and when we approach the job from that perspective, it is very easy to then talk about the value you can bring to the position.
His company, Detroit Audio Lab was founded to make a difference...to the environment, to local economies, communities, and customers. In collaboration with local suppliers, Detroit Audio Lab transforms reclaimed wood and sustainable materials into state-of-the-art audio products.
With Detroit Audio Lab, Mike Bauer, founder and CEO, has leveraged over 40 years of global business experience to bring audio manufacturing “back home”. While working with some of the world’s largest and most successful manufacturing businesses—developing strategies, managing operations, and creating supply chains—Mike witnessed time and again the economic and individual benefits of local manufacturing. This culminated in a desire to create those opportunities at home. With its rich history of manufacturing, music and audio (and as a metro-Detroiter himself), Mike knew Detroit was the perfect place to start. Detroit Audio Lab proudly manufactures and sells premium audio equipment—locally designed, engineered, and hand-constructed.
