I'll try and keep this short. Wish you were all with me this weekend for that conference. it was pretty refreshing. I hate public speaking and we had to do it quite a bit ha, but also made some good connections, inside the business school here too. I will let you all know details, but I'd love it if everyone went to this movie I'm going to help set up with some other CU students. It's called the Island President.
I guess the opportunity to help improve the human condition was made even more apparent through the people I met and talked to, ideas we tossed around, and issues we discussed. Even more apparent, was the notion that, if I was going to do business, I had to do it in a sustainable way, for a cause that's bigger than me, and that the power encompassed in a business person of high regards has an incredible amount of influence. Global warming is a pretty insane reality, not affiliated with any political party; it's a human problem with a business solution. How can we make sustainability profitable? Not only is that a multi-billion dollar question, but a multi-billion life-saving one as well.
Maybe it sounds a bit cheesy, but hope to share this vision with ya'll.
Cheers and, to Brad and Sushi Hana in a bit, Kassai,
Nate
