I have also been touched by the dark side of power and leadership.

Being poor doesn't mean being ordinary.

There are probably no more market-oriented individuals on the planet, than low income people.

I've heard it said that the most dangerous animal on the planet is the adolescent male.

Entrepreneurs are the seekers of solutions, and that they will go into these places where both market and traditional aid has failed or traditional charity has failed.

By going from the bottom-up again, we see where successes work, and you can also see where the status quo can be the biggest obstacle or roadblock to success. The kind of entrepreneurs in whom we need to invest are the kind who are willing to fight that status quo, bureaucracy, complacency, and corruption.

Traditional charity and aid are never going to solve the problems of poverty.
