Hi! My name is Mozart. I’m a community builder, poet and dad working with Jonathan on the social entrepreneurship Clinic. I’m a trained social worker who got my first job out of school at a social impact software company. These days I’m working to address health disparities in public housing and sharing poems on stages. I love doing both!
In our new newsletter format, I share articles and tools that add value to your impact career. I’ll also be curating stories by our Social Entrepreneurship Clinic readers. For more of the opening story about true change, click here.

“The father quest is a major hero adventure…of finding out what your career is, what your nature is, what your source is… finding your own character and destiny.” – Joseph Campbell, mythologist
