Causes was founded with the mission of empowering anyone to change the world. Our model is based upon the belief that everyone has the power to have an outsized impact on the world by banding together with other like-minded individuals, taking direct action, and inspiring their friends and their friends' friends to join in.

I never had a desire to hurt anybody.

If you had told me when I was at high school that one day I would be working for a for-profit company, let alone running one, I would have said you were crazy. But I am interested in how you can empower individuals to make change, and Causes is doing just that.

I do play football no-holds-barred. Any edge I can get, I'll take. I'd grab a face mask only in a fit of anger. Uncontrolled anger is damn near insane.

Without social networks, you're not the coolest thing on the Christmas list, and you're not getting any bite.

Whatever you think of Facebook, you cannot fault it for lack of ambition.

Even when I was playing, I never thought much about the individual honors. I wanted to go to the Super Bowl.
