Empowering Youth Entrepreneurs and Sparking a Venture Philanthropy Movement
Join host Dustin Canter, a.k.a. Mayor of the Mic, on a journey into the minds of INC 5000 awardees, unveiling the behind-the-scenes narratives, strategies, and pivotal moments that led these exceptional companies to rapid growth.
This podcast is not just about business triumphs; it's a call to action for youth entrepreneurship and community support. Guests share advice for aspiring young business visionaries while taking part in a groundbreaking venture philanthropy movement.
The Proudest Boast is more than a platform for success stories. It's a tribute to the legacy of civic duty and a commitment to nurturing the spirit of youth entrepreneurship. Inspired by President John F. Kennedy's call to action, Dustin Canter embarked on a mayoral campaign in Washington, D.C., deeply rooted in community betterment, with a strong focus on youth entrepreneurship as a means to create opportunities, foster innovation, and build a brighter future for the next generation.
The campaign may have concluded in 2018, but the passion for empowering young entrepreneurs and creating an environment conducive to their growth lives on in The Proudest Boast.
However, what truly sets The Proudest Boast apart is the venture philanthropy movement it inspires. In each episode, Dustin Canter invites guests to join this noble initiative. It involves investing $1,000 into a local teen's service-based business in their own community and offering one hour of seasonal mentorship to guide the next great entrepreneur.
The Proudest Boast emphasizes the importance of not only achieving business success but also giving back, empowering youth entrepreneurs, and creating a legacy of support for local communities.
Through engaging conversations and a venture philanthropy movement, the Mayor of the Mic and his guests aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of aspiring young business visionaries.
"The Proudest Boast showcases the stories of companies that have thrived by embracing a sense of responsibility, innovation, and dedication to their communities, mirroring the values that underpinned my mayoral campaign," Dustin Canter explains.
Join this fascinating exploration of business triumphs, the enduring legacy of civic duty, and the invaluable mentorship and support for youth entrepreneurs.
