In all my activities -- social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship, involvement in core policy issues of our time -- I'm looking for people and ideas that disrupt waning models to make lives better, easier, more impactful, more empowering, more responsible than the ways they do things today.
I am never more at peace anywhere than with my children, but a close second is with astoundingly curious people looking to solve crucial problems with modesty but tenacity.
ever improving ability for people to have what they need, and connections to reach, to take control of their own lives.
