Key quotes:

  • "Speaker, author, and consultant Shel Horowitz of GoingBeyondsustainabiity.com helps businesses find the sweet spot at the intersections of profitability with environmental and social good-creating and marketing profitable products and services that make a direct difference on problems like hunger, poverty, war, and catastrophic climate change."
  • "I’m still making the bulk of my income walking writers through the journey of becoming well-published and well-marketed authors-but now, most of the books I work on have a change-the-world component."
  • "What really does differentiate me from my competitors: · For the social change work, the unique experience I have of being both a marketer for 48 years and an activist for 50, as well as the rare ability to see not just the big picture but also the small details the vision needs to make it work-and my wide range of interests become a strength here: cross-industry knowledge, a long history of drinking information from business, activism, nonprofit, academia, and the ability to see how a solution used in one sphere could apply elsewhere."
