Lawrence is arguably Liverpool’s most popular Trailblazer in recent times, Signature Living have not only provided hundreds of jobs for local people, but also given back a great deal to the homeless of the city via his Cotton Street Project. Lawrence has also been on his own journey, making this hard-hitting talk even more notable.
What is a TedTalk?
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
What is Entrepreneurial Socialism?
Seldom do you find these two words bundled together; they are clearly aligned to the extremes of our political parties, but I believe, through my own experiences and practise, that the two can harmonise. When you look into the mechanics of both extremes, you see a vision where two opposites can actually attract.
I strongly believe that entrepreneurs and businesses need to work with socialism and be anchored with social responsibility.
