The concept of profit has always been a paradox - to gain more than you give. Through a unique circumstance of events in my life, that definition has changed: the real impact happens when you give with your whole heart - a contribution that means more than money, fame, or power. Profit W!th Heart is an artistic journey told through the lens, the mic and the editing bay. Join me on a mission to navigate the underpinnings of the business world, the real issues going on in todays world while we uncover the diamonds in the rough, the moments of clarity, and the light at the top of the hilltop. This channel includes short films, interviews, and outpourings of creative freedom that express more to life than the pursuit of profit as we know it. It's more than business, it's Prof!t With Heart.
