S2. Bonus Episode: Empathy and Redemptive Entrepreneurship

EPISODE DETAILS

In this special bonus episode of the Empathy Table Podcast, Ideos’ Amar Peterman sits down with Dave Blanchard, CEO of Praxis Labs, a creative engine for redemptive entrepreneurship, supporting founders, funders, and innovators motivated by their faith to love their neighbors and renew culture.

Amar and Dave discuss the mission of Praxis and how Dave understands the role empathy plays in the work of moving from exploitation to redemption. David describes Praxis’ “Redemptive Frame” and its application not only for entrepreneurs, but also for clergy, non-profits, and more. They focus on what “success” looks like for the Christian and how we might best contribute to the world. Amar and Dave conclude with advice for emerging leaders who are deeply passionate about moving their communities towards love, justice, and empathy, with references to Gustave Flaubert, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, and N. T. Wright.
