Meet Josh Golomb, the CEO of Hazel Health. Hazel Health is a health care company working in schools, tackling two of the greatest health challenges of our day: the mental health crises among youth and growing health inequities in our communities. Hazel Health's business model has a double bottom line. It's working to grow profits, but it also measures success by its ability to make a positive social impact. Hazel offers high-quality mental and physical health care to children and youth at no cost to them and their families. Yet, Hazel's business model has attracted venture capital and many clientele. How do they do it? What is their business model? Listen in as Josh tells the extraordinary story of how Hazel Health came to be. He is generous with advice for other socially minded entrepreneurs.
