Today on my show I had the pleasure of a speaking with Dreama Lee, Co-Founder of Intern-Profits, who shared her best strategies for how entrepreneurs can grow their businesses and give back to their community by developing internship programs.

Regularly mentoring interns in her own company, as well as teaching others how to successfully get interns on board, Dreama brings her passion and the myriad of benefits businesses can achieve in these win-win arrangements. In this interview I ask Dreama -

What is the first step a business owner needs to take in order to get interns working for her company?
What can interns do for you?
Where is the best place to find an intern?
And, how can a business owner best manage an intern?

This was very encouraging, seems almost too good to be true, but I have seen it work. My biggest concern is the legality of hiring someone to work for free. I know the intern is getting valuable training, but it just seems a little strange to not pay them some sort of monetary compensation.
