“Be a fly on the wall – understand what people are saying and what they need!”

After having a blast at the 48 hour film festival in Greensboro this past weekend, and coming home to an appropriate, parallel article in regards to a film making entrepreneur- I decided to blog about it.

If you are a Social Entrepreneur and haven’t heard of the Social Edge website by the Skoll Foundation- please check it out. This week they focused in on Ari Sznajader. He is had a wealth full of experience helping others; conducted renewable energy assessments for mining companies in Mozambique, directed a documentary film entitled “Rivers, Wats and Riots” and consulted for USAID in Cambodia.  Today he is helping train bright, future leaders in Nigeria. The title of this blog post is a quote he mentioned in the interview. It got me thinking about how I want to change the world. Here is the podcast:         

Ari Sznajader\’s Social Edge Interview

What are you going to do to change the world? I finally cemented a great idea that I am looking to roll out in the next few months. I get questions all the time, “I love your blog, but what S. Entrepreneur ventures are you heading up?” It took awhile because I wanted to do it right- but it has finally hit me!

Leading Social Entrepreneurs: Learn From the Best!

Salutations!

I came across a website while doing research for my Triangle Social Entrepreneurs Network. Social Edge-A Skoll Foundation Program is a a great way to connect Social Entrepreneurs all across the globe. After a quick sign up (15 seconds) you create a very basic profile letting others on the site know where your from, and what avenues of change you are creating. I just now signed up and I am still playing around with the web-site’s resources and options. One of the cool features on the website is that they host two online discussions a week, moderated by experts in the field. This seems to be a great platform especially for new entrepreneurs, such as myself, to learn more about the topic.

As I was scanning across the original website homepage, I found some great Youtube links containing 4 minute interviews with some individuals that are truly paving the way for social advocacy. Please check it out (click the logo below )- you might get some inspiration yourself!

Stay tuned for some awesome new posts.

Coming soon!!: Triangle Social Entrepreneurship update/member’s benefit proposal, EntreYouth; an organization I am starting, and “Picking out your Social Networking Outfit.”

Kind Regards,

Taylor
