AN ARMY OF HEROES
My introduction to the solutions economy came through my work with several social enterprises. This book arises very directly from those experiences. I am currently at Aki Energy, whick I co-founded, along with Darcy Wood, Kate Taylor and Sam Murdock, in 2013. Based in Winnipeg, Aki serves as something of a social enterprise incubator, offering various supports and services for First Nations wanting to start their own social enterprises. We help with ideas, training, and the various steps required for setting up and operating a social enterprise. In most cases, we do not own the businesses - we just support and facilitate them. Our chief executive officer is Darcy Wood, the former chief of the Garden Hill First Nation.
