Overview
An indispensable book that’s equal parts first-hand journey and strategy guide for leaders with a focus on social impact
In Feeding Hope: How to Build a Mission Driven Enterprise to Create Change, social entrepreneur and hunger and food waste activist Jasmine Crowe-Houston shares the real story behind building Goodr, the social impact and technology company she founded to fight food insecurity and food waste. Equal parts memoir and strategy guide, this book blends unfiltered lessons from the trenches with clear, actionable frameworks for anyone determined to build for impact.
Crowe-Houston pulls back the curtain on the hard moments: the setbacks that sharpened her resolve, the missteps that reshaped her leadership, and the failures that became turning points in the company’s evolution. Through these candid experiences, she shows readers how to navigate barriers to funding, learn from the complexities of team building, and lead with clarity and purpose while leveraging technology not for its novelty, but for its power to solve real human problems.
You’ll also find:
- Vivid storytelling that highlights the intersection of technology and innovation, for the purpose of accomplishing something meaningful and good in the world
- Proven strategies for using inevitable failures, setbacks, and mistakes to shape and reshape your path to success
