Re-imagining Whealth | Art Sherwood | TEDxWWU

Business and the non-profit world are not mutually exclusive. In the theory that Dr. Sherwood posits, there is an intersection between a focus on wealth and a focus on social health. His talk helps describe what we need to do to find that sweet spot which he calls "Whealth."
