Humanitarian Entrepreneur


Sep 8, 2022

When’s the best time to plant a tree?  Twenty years ago.  The second best time is right now.

We’ve heard this advice for ages, but this same advice applies to starting a new business.

My guest today is Rick Terrien.  Rick is a lifelong entrepreneur and co-founder of the nonprofit Center For Ageless Entrepreneurs.  He’s passionate about helping entrepreneurs worldwide in the second half of life who want to use their knowledge, know-how, and networks to make the world a better place through entrepreneurship.

In this episode, we’ll learn about:

  • Opportunities older entrepreneurs have
  • The biggest myths that older entrepreneurs face
  • When to start the entrepreneurial journey
  • What it means to “start small, start smart, and start right now”
  • And much more! 

Don’t forget to share this episode of the Humanitarian Entrepreneur podcast with the aspiring entrepreneurs you know.  Together, we’ll change the world on our own terms no matter where we are in life’s journey.

And be sure to leave us a review wherever you’re listening, it really helps. 

Enjoy!
