Mission Possible: How to build a business for our times

Description

Is entrepreneurship the path for everyone? No. But can anyone, no matter where they come from, become a successful entrepreneur if they choose to? According to Alexandre Mars, the answer is a resounding yes. Serial tech entrepreneur, millionaire and philanthropist Alexandre Mars gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what it really takes to become an entrepreneur, and one who does good along the way, sharing tricks of the trade he learned over his career building companies (and selling them to the likes of Blackberry and Publicis) in the U.S. and Europe. Part of a new generation of philanthropists, Alexandre is one of the leading global entrepreneurial voices changing the way the business world thinks about money, its power and its purpose. Mission Possible reminds us that there's no one way to start and build a business. Bringing together a wealth of perspectives from dozens of today's top entrepreneurs from around the world, including the founder of Pinterest and the former Buddhist monk who created Headspace, readers will discover it is possible to make money and have a bigger mission too.

A serial entrepreneur, philanthropist and author in the U.S. and Europe, Alexandre Mars is committed to promoting social justice by supporting positive impact organizations via his foundation, Epic, and his investment fund, Blisce. Mars hosts the podcast "PAUSE", where he invites artists, business leaders, writers, entrepreneurs, athletes and activists to take a moment, peel back the curtain and share the secrets behind their professional and personal journey.
