Gary Kneller/CareMinders Home Care

A few years ago Gary, in his mid-50s today, received some shocking news — he had stage three Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.Â The diagnosis initially was overwhelming — he had a hard time handling the uncertainty of cancer.Â But, as Gary has done in his life many, many times personally and professionally, he saw opportunity where many would see doom.Â Gary witnessed firsthand how the level of care in a lot of facilities didn’t meet the needs of patients. It was a motivating factor for him to launch CareMinders Home Care.Â In fact, he designed CareMinders to deliver care at home at a quality level that goes beyond what he ever received at a healthcare facility — by a landslide. He’s actually said that CareMinders honors those like him that have survived the rigors of cancer treatment.

Now Gary is taking his mission beyond the Atlanta market – into all U.S. markets. He’s already led CareMinders into franchising, opening in 15 states.Â Gary’s personal experience has resulted in a home care concept that offers more medical and non-medical services than any other franchise out there — his personal experience is a big reason why.Â A serial entrepreneur in every sense, Gary had previously owned a television station, a financial planning business and has other endeavors under his belt as well. But, the launch of CareMinders just a few years ago served as a practice in patience, persistence and perseverance.Â His successful triumph over cancer has given Gary a new lease on life — personally he’s now getting married and he is pouring all the energy he can into CareMinders.

Adam Ross/Socialvest

Adam Ross, believing that people inherently want to do good, has made it his mission to turn the traditional business model into a sustainable social enterprise. Two years ago, Adam started his latest adventure as a social entrepreneur and formedÂ Socialvest, a company that capitalizes on three extraordinarily powerful forces: shopping, consumer consciousness and social media. The model allows consumers to buy the things they want and need, while simultaneously giving them a chance to support their favorite causes and inspiring their friends to join them.

“Everyone has something they care about, and fundamentally wants to give back,” Adam says. “My goal is to make it easy for people to invest in social good by providing tools to empower, support, and mobilize.”

Adamâ€™s light bulb moment to start Socialvest came to him during a brunch with some of the worldâ€™s largest brands. When the conversation steered towards how the companies gave back, Adam recognized a major disparity in how brands were giving back and why consumers were engaging with brands because of their philanthropic efforts.

So Adam set out to revolutionize the way brands and consumers interact by enabling consumers to shop at hundreds of leading retailers, including Target, Macyâ€™s, Home Depot, Best Buy, Nordstrom and iTunes. Registered users on the Socialvest website can earn money for their favorite charities by simply shopping through the Socialvest site or at participating local stores. And to make online shopping even easier, Socialvest offers a browser toolbar to make sure earning happens automatically.

Socialvest users earn between one and 35 percent of their total purchase from the companyâ€™s retail partners. The money earned is automatically deposited into Socialvest usersâ€™ online Giving Accounts. Each time a purchase happens, the event and the retailer who made the contribution â€“ can be broadcast to usersâ€™ friends via Facebook, Twitter and other social channels. Donations made by Socialvest users to their favorite nonprofits can also be publicized via social media, thus raising awareness for important causes and motivating usersâ€™ friends to get involved. Overall, Socialvest gives members the freedom to donate to over 1.5 million nonprofits in the United States.

In addition to running Socialvest, Adam sits on the board forÂ First Step, a non-profit social purpose-staffing agency. Heâ€™s also a loving husband to his beautiful wife, Gwen Ross, and new father to an adorable baby girl, Charlotte.

June 19th - Inspiration from Gardening

00:00 / 0:44:32

What inspires people to write? Just about anything – really. For Heather Marie Wilson inspiration came from a garden she planted. Heather Marie’s life looked successful on the outside. She attained a great job right out of college, received steady promotions. As a strategy and marketing professional, she devoted more than a decade to studying personal development and to improving the quality of people’s lives. She rose to the level of corporate executive at a Fortune 50 company. Then she planted a garden – literally – and began to see and experience her life and the success spiral differently. She wrote down the thoughts and reflections and “ah ha” moments that came to her. Out of those writings emerged her book: Seeds of Freedom: Cultivating a Life that Matters.

What was it about gardening that touched the life of a corporate executive and spawned a book and a new approach to life and work?
