What Motivates The Social/Environmental
Entrepreneur?
ââŚit was an epiphanal experienceâŚâ âI heard the same story again and again.
Ray Anderson, Interface Carpets
Someone had experienced an
intense kind of pain that branded
them in some way. They said, âI hadâ to do
this. There was nothing else
I could do.â
Jody Jensen, Ashoka
âI was teaching in one of the universities
while the country was suffering from a
severe famine. People were dying of
hunger, and I felt very
helpless. As an economist, I had
no tool in my toolbox to fix that ââŚthat made a real impression on
kind of situation.â meâŚâ
Mohammed Yunus, Grameen Bank Jeff Skoll, eBay, Skoll Foundation, etc.
