Purpose or Profit? And Why Do We Have to Choose?

About the event

Can you do meaningful work… and still make money without guilt?

In a world that often equates “doing good” with self-sacrifice, many nonprofit leaders, caregivers, and social entrepreneurs find themselves stuck in a quiet tension—between purpose and personal sustainability.

Loretta Turner invites us to question that tradeoff.

In this conversation, we’ll explore the beliefs that keep purpose and profit polarized, why so many people feel conflicted about earning more, and how those narratives shape the way we lead, work, and live.

Because if the people doing the work can’t sustain themselves… what happens to the work?
