Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation

Asia is the Best Place for Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation

As Asia's cities to urbanize the next 2 billion people, the opportunities for Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation are going to be HUGE.

It is a process that has created sizeable challenges with local environments, economies, and societies, and as millions pour into cities, the increased demands will only continue to stretch every system we rely on to deliver food, energy, healthcare, education, housing, etc, but through these stretches will come a tangible need for solutions.

For me, this is why I see Asia as the best place to be if you want to solve big problems as a mission driven entrepreneur.

The opportunity to solve real needs, AT SCALE, and be in a place where the business model will only grow stronger over the next 15 years, as governments are investing into the infrastructure and ecosystems that serve as the foundations, investors build their portfolios, talent moves into the space, and impact is beginning to be seen.

It is an exciting time, and in this video I spend a few minutes speaking to the excitement I have around the potential for social entrepreneurship & innovation, the fundamentals I am seeing, and why the mindset around big ideas meeting big problems is the breading ground for amazing work.

Hope all is well, and have a great end to your week!

Now is the Best time to Be a Social Entrepreneur!

With a seemingly endless supply of reports on the impacts of climate change, the social pressures in cities, and the fragility of our food systems, NOW is the BEST TIME to be a social entrepreneur.

Driven by a mission to solve the greatest human challenges, unlike 10 to 15 years ago when the term became popular, the challenges that our systems are facing as we urbanize hundreds of millions of people a year are now tangible.  AND with that tangibility comes engagements, catalysts for change, and a better understanding of the value proposition for solutions.

Solutions that were once seen as "good", as trade offs, as something required government subsidies to make viable, or had to attract "patient investors" that were willing to put their money into investments with a lower expectation for return.

For me, those days have past, and while many will find it difficult to accept the challenges we face, now is the best time to see those challenges as the foundation from which to build ideas, teams, and organizations.

Social Entrepreneur in Asia

My Journey as a Social Entrepreneur in Asia

Very excited to announce the launch of my video log (vlog)!  It is something that I have been planning for 18 months, perhaps a bit longer, with the goal to help document my journey as a social entrepreneur in Asia.

It is a series that has one simple goal:

To document my journey as a social entrepreneur in a way that inspires, engages, and equips you to take your first steps.

To help you see how as an entrepreneur, corporate innovator, or community leader, you have the ability to bring about solutions that alleviate, perhaps eliminate, that challenge.

I'm really excited about this, and I REALLY look forward to engaging with you.

This is a open platform, so feel free to reach out any time in the comments section or via email to follow up on something I said or to ask a question.

Thank you all, and please remember ... IF YOU LIKED THE VIDEO, your like, share, and comments would be MUCH appreciate.
