Among his countless ventures, Moss partnered with The Lonely Entrepreneur to ensure women, minorities, former athletes and the less fortunate are empowered with the entrepreneurial skills they’ll need to be successful in today’s competitive business world.

I come across so many women, minorities, young people and current and former athletes that lack the knowledge and support they need to start and grow businesses,” explains Dale Moss. “And there are so many companies, brands, charities and foundations that feel deeply about empowering these individuals, but lack an efficient way to deliver on that worthy promise. Our partnership with The Lonely Entrepreneur not only helps individuals but provides these organizations with a ready-made way to empower the groups they wish to help.
