Six Billion Reasons to Get Out of Bed Each Day

A powerful new idea is sweeping North America: that "doing good" can mean more than volunteering and philanthropy. That how we earn our living can become the way we give back. We've all heard about the rich and powerful doing good works. Julia Moulden presents a new group of role models — ordinary men and women who have reinvented what they do for a living. They're people who want their work to reflect their values, and help them make a difference in the world. She calls these individuals New Radicals. Moulden offers practical advice for people who want to reinvent their work and gives answers to questions such as "What are my motivations?" "What skills can I leverage?" "Where is the greatest need?" and "How do I get there from here?

We evaluate our speakers on only one metric: how many questions they elicit from the audience. After her talk, the hands went up, and we didn't have enough time for all questioners.
