Philanthropologist

I coined the term "Philanthropologist" to describe my role. As a TV host, I get to travel the world with my childhood friend, Craig Martin, and introduce audiences to the inspiring people who look at the world's most impossibly hard problems with an attitude, "I can help".

Fixing the world's most pressing problems requires talent, teamwork, time and a pretty optimistic mindset. So I've chosen to cast my lot with brave technologists, passionate philanthropists, compelling storytellers and other like-minded folks who stir me to dream bigger, work smarter, engage more deeply, and live more intentionally.

Along the way, I've started several tech companies, served on the Board of some nonprofits, applied my grey matter to complex problems, and let my curiosity and heart lead me.

I advise, speak, and write about the potential of corporate social responsibility, company culture and engagement for good. I've found that when companies align their resources for good, their bottom line improves.

I regularly appear in public media to discuss company culture, entrepreneurship, and the global community. I discuss the multifarious American experience, emphasizing our growing need for cultural unity, racial diversity and inclusion.

I like crossword puzzles, dirty jokes, solving business problems, and helping others achieve their dreams.

If we meet at a some off-the-beaten path bar and you feel that we possess a kindred spirit , please introduce yourself. I'd love to have a drink and share bizarre stories. I've got a few of my own!
