Wow! Amazingly unexpected trip to lecture at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, CO at the beginning of May.  The audience consisted mainly of scientists and researchers, who as a whole were way out of my league in terms of their brilliance. But the focus of my time there was spent on how [...]

I had the incredible honor of speaking to a group of graduate students and entrepreneurs at MIT on April 24.  The Legatum Center for Development & Entrepreneurshipis, in my view, one of the    most cutting-edge forums for progressive thought and innovation when it comes to international business, social impact and finding ways to create baselines [...]

I had an amazing time visiting Brussels, Belgium, recently to address a crop of student social entrepreneurs from around the world who are focused on food systems and disruptive innovation.  I always say that I usually end up learning more from the individuals in the audience then anyone could ever learn from me, and this [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve had a chance to check in as the last few weeks have been incredibly busy, including a mind-blowing impact event in Squaw Valley with some amazing friends and  colleagues.  Settled back into NYC before heading out for some university speeches, but was pleasantly surprised to see this from about [...]

A massive Thank You to  Matthew Bishop of The Economist and Shaifali Puri of Scientists Without Borders for organizing and hosting a privateShake the World book launch at The Back Room in New York City this past Monday night.  We had over 200 brilliant members of the New York media and leadership scene on-hand, and [...]

I was pleasantly surprised to wake up to a bunch of emails about today’s review of Shake the World in the Los Angeles Times.  The best part is I had no idea the review was running, so all of the emails were a welcome way to start the day.  There are some great quotes from [...]
