Today’s guest on Hack the Entrepreneur is a social entrepreneur. About 10 years ago, she took some off-the-cuff advice that said, “you should build your career around three things you are passionate about.”
For her, these three things are music, charity, and the environment.
She is presently the founder of LSTN Headphones, a company with the goal of giving the gift of hearing to those without.
Perhaps you are one of the millions of people who have seen the commercial on YouTube — where they put headphones into a young girl’s ears and she can hear for the first time ever. That’s LSTN Headphones.
