Our guest, Hunter Foote, is a serial and an altruistic entrepreneur. With a strong background in private equity and real estate investment, Hunter is the Founder & Executive Director of the Vanderburgh House, a certified B-corporation with a mission to build recovery focused, peer supported, sober living communities.

Vanderburgh is passionate about ending the stigma of addiction and giving those in recovery a safe place to continue their journey of sobriety.

Hunter is also the Managing Director of Honeybee Financial, an innovator in real estate and business lending.

Hunter and I both mentor at EforAll… my favorite non-profit accelerator program, and
I’m so excited for you to meet this extraordinary entrepreneur.

You'll hear Hunter share:

* the benefits of filing as a B Corporation
* the very expensive lesson he learned when he launched the business
* how he figured out the best duplicatable business model for scaling
* hiring missteps and solutions
* why providing 100% financial transparency leaves employees feeling empowered
* his profound love, passion and purpose for his work in the world

If you're feeling called to run a Vanderburgh House in your community, please reach out to Hunter (info@VanderburghHouse.com). They'll give you the model on a licensing fee basis, and they will purchase the house and lease it back to you to keep your capital expenditures low.
